Choosing the best crew member in Starfield can prove to be a blessing for your ship during your space explorations. Starfield comes with the option to recruit NPCs as companions, bringing additional skills onboard. However, it is up to you how you would like to add them to your lineup.

Moreover, it is not necessary to board all of them on your ship as you can also assign them to your outposts. While each one of them brings a different set of skills to the table, creating a winning combination is key. So, let us check out the Starfield best crew members for your ship.

When it comes to deciding the most robust crew members, there is no definitive answer to it as every NPC has their unique offerings. Some might bring expertise in combat while some will excel in engineering or more that will increase your credibility in those areas.

Therefore, it all boils down to what kind of scenario you are looking to go for and recruit the best Starfield ship crew member accordingly. So let us have a look at the best crew for your ship:

  • Marika Boros (Combat)
  • Andreja (Stealth)
  • Barret (Ship Repairs)
  • Sarah Morgan (Exploring)
  • Sam Coe (Piloting)
  • Heller (Outpost Engineering)
  • Lin (Outpost Management)
  • Andromeda Kepler (Both Ship & Outpost)

Marika Boros

Bringing along her combat skills, Marika can be a useful companion during your head-on encounters with enemies. She ensures that the enemy deals 20% more damage using Ballistic weapons and 10% more damage with the use of Shotgun. To hire Marika, you need to spend 18000 Credits or a mere 9000 Credits if you can persuade her. Her skills include:

  • Particle Beam Weapon
  • Systems Rank 1
  • Shotgun Certification Rank 1
  • Ballistics Rank 2

Andreja

When trying to tackle any sort of quest or mission with stealth as a priority, Andreja will be of great help with her expertise. She will cause an additional damage of 20% with Suppressed Weapons to enemies. Meanwhile, it will be 100% tougher to detect her during sneaking. Another additional benefit is that Andreja does not cost a dime as she is free to hire. Her skills include:

  • Theft Rank 1
  • Energy Weapon Systems Rank 2
  • Particle Beams Rank 3
  • Stealth Rank 4

Barret

If you wish to go on head-on fights with other starships during your space explorations, you will need an expert Starship Engineer to repair your ship in no time. Having Barret on board will repair all ship systems 25% faster along with a 25% increase in damage mitigation for ship systems. Another additional benefit of recruiting Barret is that sometimes the entire system will be repaired by just repairing a single block of a system. Moreover, he is free to hire as well. His skills consist of:

  • Gastronomy Rank 1
  • Robotics Rank 2
  • Particle Beam Weapon Systems Rank 3
  • Starship Engineering Rank 4

Sarah Morgan

Coming along as another free-to-hire companion, Sarah Morgan proves to be one of the best Starfield ship crew members. She adds a notable boost of 30% increase to the jump range of grav drives. Whereas, she reduces the cost of fuel by 50% for jump drives. Her skills include:

  • Botany Rank 1
  • Leadership Rank 2
  • Lasers Rank 3
  • Astrodynamics Rank 4

Sam Coe

Bringing along a wide variety of skills, Sam Coe is probably one of the best crew members in Starfield. Sam helps increase cargo holding capacity by 20%. Meanwhile, his piloting skills speak for themselves, convincing anyone to have him pilot their starship. His skills include:

  • Geology Rank 1
  • Payloads Rank 2
  • Rifle Certification Rank 3
  • Piloting Rank 4

Heller

If you are the one who needs assurance with your Outpost functions, Heller is your go-to crew member who is also free to hire. He has the expertise to construct superior, improved, and cutting-edge outpost modules while also researching additional modules. His skills consist of:

  • Geology Rank 1
  • Outpost Engineering Rank 3

Lin

When looking for Outpost Management, Lin plays a vital role with a major bonus of letting you assign more crew members to your Outpost. Additionally, she opens the option of constructing more robots and placing more cargo links at the Outpost while being free to hire. Her skills consist of:

  • Demolitions Rank 1
  • Outpost Management Rank 3

Andromeda Kepler

If you are on the lookout for a multi-talented crew member, Andromeda might just be the answer with her usefulness both on the ship and at the outpost. Her expertise adds one extra unit to the ship’s energy output. However, hiring this one comes for 15000 Credits and only 7500 Credits with Persuasion. Andromeda’s skills include:

  • Aneutronic Fusion Rank 1
  • Piloting Rank 1
  • Outpost Engineering Rank 2

That was all for the Starfield best crew member for your ship. However, as mentioned before, it all depends on which skillsets and expertise you require for your needs and the boxes you already tick with your character build. Now when talking about starships, you might want to take a look at our guide on the best ship weapons in Starfield.
