When choosing crew to enhance your racers common skills, I have a general rule that I follow. I prioritize crew that enhances Common Skills that **directly affect my driving, instead of hindering others.** By Prioritizing the Defensive and Movement skills over Combat and Hindering skills helps my gameplay become more enjoyable. My racer's perform at their peak when I have the highest Defensive and Movement skills available, since those directly impact my driving. Having an increased power Bomb or Hack does not help my driving. For this reason, I always prioritize crew that benefit the Common Skills in the following order. Defensive Skills (Green) - [[Cloak]] - [[Shield]] Movement Skills (Blue) - [[Boost]] - [[Rush]] Combat Skills (Red) - [[Fire]] - [[Shot]] - [[Bomb]] Hindering Skills (Purple) - [[Hack]] When assigning crew to any racer, I will list out my recommended crew, and list some alternatives as well if their is a reasonable replacement. I will always list the crew in the order from top to bottom in how I would assign them. If your racer has 2 crew slots, I would assign the first two of the options provided that you have available. If a racer has multiple Common Skills from one category above that need to be raised, I enhance the skills listed from top to bottom in each category. I choose to enhance the Common Skills of any racer over choosing crew purely for stats. I have much more fun with a racer who has maxed out Common Skills, over a racer who drives 2MPH faster.
