[h3]Sneak Peak: CRISPR Training[/h3]
As part of Patch 0.999, players will be able to enhance their Crew Rosters using the new CRISPR system.
Once researched – duplicate Crew of the same or lower Level can be consumed to improve the target Crew’s Maximum Training Potential.
CRISPR is available for Crew at any Level or Rarity Tier, aiming to provide a new alternative to DNA Blending and traditional Roster management.
Each upgrade will only require 1 additional copy of the Crew to progress through Bronze, Silver, and Gold tiers. Bronze provides an initial boost of 20 Training Points, Silver a further 10 points, and Gold a final 5 points.
Existing Training is not reset when increasing the Maximum Training Potential of your Crew.

Recruiting Crew will see several improvements as part of this update.
The maximum cost of Beer Draw from the Star Bar will be reduced from 350 Starbux to 300.
The maximum cost of Advanced Beer Draw from the Star Bar will be reduced from 900 Starbux to 750.
PLEASE NOTE: Any players that have recruited Crew from Beer Draw and Advanced Beer Draw options from the 17th of April onward will receive the difference in Starbux refunded to their account.
Shortly after this update, we will also be launching a new system to guarantee a higher rarity Crew after a set number of Crew have been recruited.
Other improvements will be added in the future to improve Crew acquisitions. Details will be available soon!
