[Question] Junior Crew Biased for in XP gain lottery ?

[peddroelm]

I'm considering pros and cons of the biggest starting ship. 

If crew levels with delta > certain threshold bellow say average crew level get favored during XP assignment lottery :
  that would be GENERALLY DESIRED mechanic to help low level crew get 'mentored' by the regulars
  but COULD help delay acquiring crucial lvl 11 Navigator perk on the bigger starting ships . 

SHOULD REFRAIN FROM HIRING x level under crew average UNTIL skip to void is enabled VITAL for degla megalift starts ? Recruiting lvl 8+ from contacts no problem. 

or its XP assignment truly random , only affected by crew size ?

Hi peddroelm - not sure what the question is. There is no bias in who gains XP based on existing XP, level or average level of anything like that.

However, junior crew will gain levels much faster, because they need many fewer XP per level--this is actually pretty helpful, since it allows new crew to catch up to more experienced ones quickly.

By design, yes
