EVE Search - What does my ship's crew do?

I shouldn't have to see the wreck's can, I should click the button and then my crew would fly the ship to the wreck, and then it would load up into my cargo bay.

Then again, they may have a little more initiative if I actually paid them or something...

Crew is cool but it is unlikely to work here in EVE as it is atm.

As somebody stated, the lore states the capsule pod took over the hoards of crewmen. I'm not a fan of that either.

Just about that random suggestion you made, that would unfortunately boost botting. Just as a reminder.
I do like the idea of dispatching some sort of looting/salvage/scavenger shuttle, but this is neither star trek, nor bsg nor homeworld.

I don't want to hijack your thread/idea but what about this:

- How about crew-related modules that could feature what you said nonetheless (regardless of botting, can't stop in anyways).

This way decisions can be made faster and less crew perish whenever you blow up. http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/New_Eden_crew_guidelines Read up on the lore if you have more questions. Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective.

Later if I want to try pvp they might be a part of glorious explosions as my ships go down in flames. I have no idea what your crew does, but I would venture a guess and say the same as mine :)

Introducing industrial ships that, say, could be controlled by your alt/yourself. You move it into the battlefield and start collecting. I wish this would be a cynojump-capable ship. Anyhow, post some more on what you thought about. It is not that bad if you ask me. Right now, people have to do way too much logistics just to get things done. confirthisposmed "When I'm through with you, there won't be anything left..."

Deena Amaj Native Freshfood Minmatar Republic 18	Posted - 2012.07.28 18:24:00 - [7] - Quote More of fluff, but what about more voice acting as an option? We have Aura, but what about more voices. I know this is not Homeworld Cataclysm, but I'd instantly fall in love with some commander dude saying "Align to xzy", "Engage Warp!" -- "All hands abandon ship! All -- boom" You know. But that is just "Ear Candy". @Droxlyn Can you give us more on what you thought about crew? confirthisposmed "When I'm through with you, there won't be anything left..."
Droxlyn TOHA Heavy Industries TOHA Conglomerate 94	Posted - 2012.07.28 18:41:00 - [8] - Quote NPCs in Eve are utterly incompetent seems to be the theme of how the game works. The only thing ships crew are good for is engaging the emergency/jumpgate cloaking device when you go unconscious. [Insert general ranting about stupid easy stuff that isn't easy here, your pick.] (This thread is me picking on the ship's crew more than actually asking for a change. Maybe some lore that explains their behavior.) Drox

Making something easy to do or make it require less button presses does not make it "bot friendly"

I'm gonna stick with the lore on this one, having to manage a crew of a titan for instance would be annoying at best
