View source for Jobs

{{Version|1.2.6.0}}
Each crew member is assigned a different '''job'''. This job determines the character's starting [[skills]] (chosen randomly within a certain range), and [[gear]].

Each Job has its own unique set of [[Talents]], when they have gained enough experience, players earn Talent points, which allow them to pick a Talent. These talents can grant various buffs or bonuses to the player, the whole crew or even the submarine or unlock recipes for unique [[Category:Talent_Items|Talent Items]]. These items can also be crafted by anyone if a Bot has unlocked the recipe.

New crew members are able to be hired from the [[Campaign#Crew Management|Crew Management]] at any Outpost. The price and availability of people in each field can vary.

Some jobs (captain, security, medical doctor) are capped at a maximum number of players. When the maximum has been reached, players will no longer spawn new characters with that job. However, existing characters with those jobs will respawn if the player rejoins the server regardless of whether or not it would exceed the cap. The cap does not apply to bots which can be purchased over and above the limit.

Jobs can also be set to always allow players to spawn as them although this is currently only set for assistants.
