Crewman
Crewman is the name given to a NPC or avatar holding a crew berth on board a spacecraft.
Crewmen play a vital part in spacecraft operations, as they are in charge of operating the systems on board. They are some times called other titles to describe the console station they are currently manning, such as Pilot, Navigator, or Engineer.
Avatar Crewmen

They are able to see the spacecraft mission so that they can attempt to follow the orders on it, but they do not have the power to change the mission.

Crewmen spawn with an EV suit and a handheld weapon, if available from their spawning city. Weapon preferences are as following:
Crewmen gain rank as a result of accumulating experience points. As rank increases, their skills rise, as they are getting better in what they do. Experienced crewmen are a valuable asset, that can be very useful.
