Crew grades

[Chairman (OP)]

I got alot of ships with -%, usaly 7-10% and can´t train it away... It come as soon as I build them I think...
Is it a bad commanders, to small crews or what??

You have a pool of trained personel from your acadamies, this pool consists of crew with a training of 0 (This can be changed) when you run out of crew from this pool new crew have a rating of -10% (A ship with a mixture of these conscripts and trained crew has a range of -1 to -10%). However this penalty can be trained out, to do this place an officer in charge of the ship with a crew training rating and wait eventually he will give the crew a positive bonus until that reaches its cap.  To save trained crew you can set your some ships to automatically ahve a cosncript crew typically civilian ships like freighters where the crew grade is not important, this is done on the ship design screen.
This should really be in the acadamies section.

AFAIK that does not effect crew grade only TF Training which is seperate

That might be true, but Steve would have to clarify.
It's still important to have your Homesystem (where fresh fleets will train) lead by someone with a high crew training rating.

On a tangent,

Has anyone noticed that larger fleets take longer to improve in fleet training?

[jocan2003]

About the bigguer fleet i think its normal as bigguer the fleet is longuer it take to properly set chain of command and protocol for movement, combat tactics and so on so imho its good to have it like that but its my taste only
