new crew members

I can't capture pirates.... they usually have a lot more crewmembers than me and not all my crewmembers are 3 at weapons... so i just kill the ship and wait till they all die off so i can loot it... only found 1 crew member in a cryostasis/hyperstasis?? pod on 1 of my runs but the run i am doing now, i haven't found 1... to be honest, they should up the chance of at least finding a first 1 early on, could really use a 6th... i could also change the settings and start with a 10 man crew but that's pretty hard from the start due to not having enuf space for food manufactering on ur ship and takes a whole lot more water if u do go for food..... Which is pretty hard to come by sumtimes... So ya... i guess that after the first system u should find 1 in the second system so u can have a 6th member (or 5th depending on ur start) and be ready for that extra member in the form of food and water. And than maybe make it more RNG based.... Been traversing like 4 or 5 systems now and haven't found my 6th member yet... still searching, going just for mining and quickly scouting derelicts, not scrapping them unless i need a bit extra, but speedrunning through derelicts right now, searching for that crewmember i want
