Steal Crew

[Ethentianknight]

Would it be possible to have boarding fighters steal crew and bring them back?

you could keep them assigned to 'brig' until their morale went positive and you conscripted them into your crew.

I don't think that's the way to go - my guess is most people wouldn't use this since it's far easier to just hire a crew at a station. Avorion is not hard sci fi, but I kinda don't know how an enemy crew would assimilate into their captor's crew.

Alright. It could be a way to gain affinity with a hostile faction if paying crew ends up increasing affinity.

We're thinking of more ways to improve relations to factions that don't like you, for example always allowing specific missions that help that faction. Imagine doing an important delivery of meds to a station where there's an epidemic of some sort - there's basically no way a faction wouldn't like you a little more after doing some nice deeds without them asking you.

Makes more sense that you'd be able pick up crew/people from lifepods and sell them to the nearest stations or mines as workers/slaves for a profit. That would also allow for crew transports to be a thing. You could move passengers to a certain destination for profit or entirely dedicate yourself to slave smuggling. Or maybe just collecting slaves and making them work for you in your mines! >:D
