#STARBOUND FUEL SHIP HOW TO#
In the next section, I focus on the roles of your crew members, and how to use them. This can take awhile, so don’t count on Penguins being your first crew members. They can be hired with a dubloon purchased from the Beakeasy, but only once Dreadwing the Penguin has been defeated. Some of you reading this may know that you can also hire Penguins as mercenaries (they are always Soldier class).

If you can, complete it for them, and they might ask to join your crew (explained below). Eventually, the Tenant may give you a quest.
