These are purely ambient noises and do not affect gameplay
- The crew members tell you that they have turned on the ECM, engaged the torus drive, that the laser has overheated etc. They don't offer any advice! The Pilot Alien does the same as the Pilot but with a different voice.
- Captain Berf Pilot (2009)
- Captain Berf Pilot Alien (2009)
- Captain Berf Engineer (2009)
- Captain Berf Tactical Officer (2009)
- And see Crew Soundset (2009+)

Musings
The presence of crew has not been implemented in Oolite. (In Classic Elite, one could not buy a larger crewed ship, and crew numbers were given for all the ships. The crew numbers disappeared in the Oolite listings, despite the ability to buy (crewed) ships being introduced.) Hence, there is no need to pay the salaries of the crew, but on the other hand they do not obviously do anything either! They do not repair damaged equipment. They have no impact on the timing of the Maintenance Overhaul. They are not arrested for being drunk and disorderly in the Orbital Stations...
The only oxp which considers crew in a realistic manner is Phkb's rock hermit management oxp - Hermitage
Fiction
- The Dark Wheel - two pilots in a Cobra Mk.3
- Calliope & Stranglehold - Captain Hesperus's rather bizarre crew
