Nice looking models (as always)

Question on the crew aspect of the ships when they are deployed/used. During any combat can crew members themselves be hurt thus bringing down the effectiveness of the ship when its on mission?

It's an interesting mechanic which I think suits a TBS rather than a RTS.

Truth be told, when the action kicks off, the player will potentially be under enough stress without having to worry about invisible mechanics - to that end we're focusing on the obvious stuff that people can see: Sector furniture causing status effects, special weapons delivering statuses being two examples.

That said if we find that the gameplay can afford more of these sorts of details it's easy enough to add them in during Early Access, but it would be far harder to remove them (or in-fact; the burden of their mistake) from the game later if our suppositions turned out to be true...
