[Request] Make It So Crew Mates Start Off Specialising In Just 1 Job Trait

[Gary1986]

Would it be possible to make all crew mates only start off specialising in 1 job trait, so every member of the ships crew can max at least 1 job trait to 4 stars?

 

An example would be picking up a crew mate who has 1 star in cooking and 1 star in deckhand. It's annoying cause I know I can never get 4 stars job trait with that crew member.

 

The way it is at the moment makes it so everybody picks their crew based on their knowledge of who can gain 4 stars. It basically means everybody playing the game will always pick the same crew mates.

 

If you make it so all crew mates can get 4 stars in at least 1 job trait, then people will start picking the crew they want, not just what they necessarily need.

Nah, it's fine as is. There are enough crew who can max out there specializations, but not enough to diminish their value. It would be pointless if all crew could specialize you wouldn't need to make any decisions at all. As is,you need to think carefully about who to place in your crew. And you need both specialists and generalists.

I wouldn't want this at all.  I like having some of the crew who are more well rounded, so that if one of the more specialized ones gets injured, I can backfill them with one of the jacks of all trades crew members.

If the 1 ability (Starting) characters have the capacity to be the 'worlds best' in that particular job... how dull it would be that you have them all off the bat.  Besides, even with a 2 / 2 guy, they still do great.  Needing to get 4* is pretty meaningless, and having to do some hunting for them is fine.
