You’re probably wondering how to increase a ship’s crew size in Starfield. Depending on certain factors, your spacecraft can only have a certain number of companions or crew members aboard. Going beyond that limit can lead to dire repercussions, or you might need to dismiss and reassign your recruits. Our guide discusses the mechanics that affect Starfield’s maximum ship crew size.

How to increase ship crew size in Starfield
There are three factors that affect the Starfield ship crew size:
- Ship Command skill
- Combined crew capacity in a ship’s cockpit and habs
- Combined crew capacity in a ship’s reactor, weapon, engine, and shield modules
Bear in mind that the limit is the lowest value out of these three. As such, if you want to have five crew members on your ship, you need to make sure that your vessel has modules that further increase the limit, while also taking note of the Ship Command skill’s level.
