In Starfield, you can recruit people for your crew, or even have your companions from Constellation join you during space travel. Not only can people follow you around, but you can assign them to your spaceship and outposts. But who would the best crew member companions be for your outpost in Starfield, since they have skills to help you out? Here’s a list to help you out.
Starfield: Best companions and crew to assign to your outpost
When looking for possible companions to assign to outposts, you need to look at their skills and what they can do to help. Specifically, look for people withOutpost Engineering and Outpost Managementskills. The best crew member companions for your outpost in Starfield areHeller, Lin, Rafael Aguerro, and Andromeda Kepler.
Heller has the best Outpost Engineering skill out of all the crew members, so you don’t want to ignore him. With this skill, Heller can research and construct cutting-edgeoutpost modules. Heller works for Argos Extractors, just like the crew member next in this list.
During the main quest, you’ll eventually be able torecruit Heller once you make it to the quest ‘The Empty Nest’.
In opposition to Heller, Lin has a pretty high ranking in Outpost Management. At this rank, she can place additional Cargo Links, Robots, and crew at your outpost. Lin is the supervisor of Argos Extractors.
Just like Heller, you’ll be able torecruit Lin after ‘The Empty Nest’ questduring the main questline. Having both Heller and Lin at a single outpost will make it a stellar place to operate.

Rafael Aguerro
As the only crew member who hasranks in both Outpost Engineering and Management, you should keep an eye out for Rafael. He serves as the chief engineer of the Nishina Research Station.
Much later in the main story, during aquest called ‘Entangled’, you’ll find Nishina Research Lab. This is when you may recruit Rafael Aguerro, but only depending on the choices you make during this mission.
Andromeda Kepler
Finally, we have Andromeda, who has the second rank in Outpost Engineering. She’s an NPC you can find in theBroken Spear bar in Cydonia, which is on Mars in the Sol system.
To hire her, she’ll ask for some Credits, but you may Persuade her to halve the price. At Rank 2, Andromeda can research and construct superior outpost modules.
