The crew explorer above connects each specialist to its upkeep and the ship classes and tiers where it can work.
Crew progression
Swabbies work on every ship. Tier 2 introduces Picaroons for Destroyers and Reavers and Scallywags for Prowlers and Hunters. Higher tiers add paired specialists before Corsairs arrive on tier 6 ships.
Crew types unlock with ship progression at 3, 7, 12, 18, and 25 points spent in a Compass category. Their associated upkeep buildings unlock at the same stage.
Supply the pier camp
The pier's assigned Pirate Camp must supply the whole Crew. Reassigning the pier can solve a range problem, but only if the new camp has every community building and production chain that the Crew requires.
Use Crew needs for per-pirate goods. Use Ships to see the permitted Crew set and construction cost for a hull.
Captain abilities are not included here because this launch set does not contain a complete captain catalog.
