Obtaining Crew

Crew may randomly drop from Stories/Rescue Battles, be awarded for weekly rankings, or be a guaranteed reward for taking "Belle's Choice" options (requiring Prestige) in Stories.

Crew Slots

Every Belle may equip Engineering and Mascot Crew in her stock configuration. Refit Capacity determines the availability of other crew slots--these unlock as the value rises through Promotion with Vestures. Larger Belles may have one or more of the other slots unlocked stock (e.g. a Battlecruiser with Engineering, Gunnery, Supply, and Mascot available at level 1).

Value of Crew

Crew can have significant effects on Belle combat statistics, however, these are only really felt by players at higher levels and/or in Hard Mode. In other words, the presence or absence of Crew is generally not a make-or-break proposition within standard gameplay. However, for the "min-maxing" player, Crew can become incredibly important.
