Crew

Crew is a ship stat in Corsair Cove.

Effect

Crew is both durability and power. Advanced crew improves overall ship strength, but crew can be lost during event actions.

Mechanics

• Crew is both manpower and a second durability pool.
• Several events spend or threaten crew directly through Mutiny, boarding, hazards, or sacrifice-style choices.
• Practical check: crew-heavy choices are safer when your ship has spare crew and a reliable pier/service route.
