To better facilitate your exploration needs, you will be able to select your crew in a next version. You still can have only 3 crew members, plus captain Kara, but now, you can choose from people you took to the Freeport or from some Freeport residents. Namely, you can take princess Zana, shipwright Feidia or priestess Basila. This way, you can optimize ship stats to your liking. These new crew members will also have unique scenes on board the ship.
I'm adding a lot of new content to this version and reworking some previous mechanics. For example, crew members will now have a talent system, like in Ludus Master (however, they will not lever up yet, all they talent will be static). Due to this large volume of work, the update is planned to go out sometimes by the end of next week. Cheers.
