Dark avatar idea ship crews

You know how you spend all that time building up a nice experienced crew then get jumped coming out of warp whilst returning to planet damaged by 10 Torian fighters, well situations like that anyway.

Well how about you have an escape module to research with better time capabilities the better level you research. So your ship gets shot up and if you have an escape module then you get a beacon and you can go and pick up the crew with another ship.

Not sure how assigning the crew to another ship would work though, maybe a seperate crew management screen.

I think it would be a nice added feature not sure how implementable it would be in the current framework though.

Sounds like a bit of a micromanagement nightmare to me, especially on the larger galaxies when you can have hundreds of ships flying around. I remember MOO2 had escape pods you could add, but those only worked on the special leaders you could assign to a ship, not the actual crew. Since each empire could only have 4 of those leaders, reassigning them wasn't such a big deal.

Personally, I'd rather see the starbase construction get streamlined a bit before more complexities get added in
