What Crew Members Should I Assign to an Outpost in Starfield?
In Starfield, the best crew members to assign to an Outpost are those with the Outpost Engineering and Outpost Management skills.
Assigning members with these skills means you will not have to use your own points to unlock that skill tree.
Crew members can be found all across the universe and are mainly located in the major hub cities of the game. For example, you can discover Outpost Engineering Specialists and Management Specialists at the Red Mile on Porrima III in the Porrima system.
