Starfield Crew Minmaxer

Unlock the full potential of your Starfield crew! This tool helps you optimize your crew selection based on your specific needs and preferences, ensuring you always have the best team by your side in the vastness of space.

Overview

Starfield Crew Minmaxer is a Python script designed to help players select the optimal crew members for their spaceship in the game Starfield. By considering your preferred ship weapons and excluding any characters you don't want (or who are no longer available), the script generates a customized list of the best crew members to enhance your gameplay experience.

Features

• Customized Crew Selection: Choose your preferred ship weapons and exclude unwanted characters to get a tailored list of crew members.
• Optimized Recommendations: The script calculates the best crew members based on their skills and your preferences.
• Easy to Use: Simple editing of a Python script and straightforward execution.

Installation

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/Starfield-Crew-Minmaxer.git

2. Navigate to the Directory:

   cd Starfield-Crew-Minmaxer

3. Install Dependencies:

   Ensure you have Python installed. Then, install the required packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

1. Edit minmax_crew.py:

   • Open the script in your favorite text editor.

   • Specify Dead or Unwanted Characters:

     Locate the dead_characters list and add any characters you want to exclude:

     dead_characters = ["Character Name 1", "Character Name 2"]

   • Select Your Ship Weapons:

     Uncomment the weapons you use on your ship in the weapon_skills list:

     weapon_skills = [
         'Ballistic Weapon Systems',
         'Missile Weapon Systems',
         # 'Particle Beam Weapon Systems',
         # 'Energy Weapon Systems',
         # 'EM Weapon Systems',
     ]

2. Run the Script:

   Execute the script to get your optimized crew recommendations:

   python minmax_crew.py

3. View the Output:

   The script will display a list of the best crew members based on your preferences. For example:

   All Weapons - No Constellation Members:

Name	Reason	System	Planet
Barrett	Starship Engineering, Particle Beam Weapon Systems	Alpha Centauri	Jemison
Sam Coe	Piloting, Payloads	Alpha Centauri	Jemison
Sarah Morgan	Astrodynamics, Leadership	Alpha Centauri	Jemison
VASCO	Aneutronic Fusion	Alpha Centauri	Jemison
Andromeda Kepler	Aneutronic Fusion	Sol	Mars
Omari Hassan	Shield Systems	Cheyenne	Akila

Note that VASCO and Andromeda are tied for usefulness in this example, so both are listed.

How It Works

The script processes crew data sourced from INARA to determine the best crew members based on:

• Skills: Matches crew skills with your selected ship and weapon skills.
• Preferences: Excludes any characters you've listed as dead or unwanted.
• Optimization: Selects the best crew member for the relevant skills. Sometimes there is a tie, in which case both are listed.
