“No Assignments are Currently Available in Starfield”: Guide to Assigning Crew and Meeting Outpost Requirements

In Starfield, there is no shortage of things to explore and discover. However, an important aspect of progress in this thrilling sci-fi RPG is the accumulation of companions and crew members. As players delve deeper into the game, they can expect to have a diverse range of characters to choose from. These companions and crew members not only join players on their adventures, but they can also play a vital role by becoming crew on ships and outposts in Starfield.

How to Assign Crew to Ships and Outposts in Starfield

Once players have gathered enough crew members, they can easily assign them to different ships and outposts in Starfield. To do this, simply pause the game and navigate to the Crew Roster menu in the Ship section. On Xbox, press the Y button, and on PC, press the C button. This will bring up a summary of all the available crew members and their current assignments.

When playing Starfield, selecting crew members is essential for assigning them to various tasks either on the spaceship or at outposts. As long as there is enough space, players can easily add crew members to their workforce. However, if space is limited, unassigning a crew member allows for a replacement to take their place. It is crucial to leverage the skills of the crew members to achieve the best results.

Outpost Requirements

Assigning crew members to an outpost may not be possible if a vital structure is missing. To unlock this option, players must construct a Crew Station, which requires five Aluminum, two Iron, and three Nickel.

Additionally, the Outpost Management skill can be upgraded, enabling players to station more crew members at any given outpost. It is advisable to maximize the number of crew members for a more efficient and manageable experience in Starfield.

That’s everything you need to know about assigning crew to ships and outposts in Starfield. For more information, check out our guides on targeting engines and deleting outposts. And for everything else, Twinfinite has a comprehensive collection of tips and information on the game.
