What Is The Ship Command Skill?
In Starfield, it is said that a ship is only as good as its crew.
The Ship Command Skill is a Social Skill that increases as you interact with or destroy other ships.
It is a master-level skill that you can acquire after completing certain activities.
Upgrading your Ship Command Skill will help increase your ship’s crew size.
Taking skillful crew members on your adventure is always necessary in Starfield.
How To Level Up The Ship Command Skill?
The Ship Command skill has a rank of up to 4, which you can upgrade to.
The ranks 1, 2,3 and 4 of the Ship Command skill increase the size of crew members from 4, 5, 6, and 8, respectively.
To get to rank 1 of the Ship Command skill, you will need 12 skill points in the social tree.

To get to rank 3, you should destroy or board 25 ships with a crew of four or more.

Does The Ship Command Skill Have A Bug?
The Ship Command Skill has encountered a bug, according to multiple players on Reddit.
As we mentioned before, the Command Skill Level increases the crew size.
But due to the bug, even the crew members unlocked do not show up on the ship.
However, the player has also found a fix to the bug.
If you ever encounter the bug, swap your ship back to your original ship.
Then, unassign the crew and then again reassign the crew.
This will fix the bug, and the crew members, which can be 4,5,6 or 8 according to your Ship Command Level, will show up.
However, this simple fix did not work for every player, so we can assume that is might just be bugged.
The team of Starfield might provide a patch to this bug as soon as possible.
If you’re still facing the issue, you can always express your difficulties on Reddit, Steam, Twitter, etc.
