How to Find Crew in Star Citizen

By Starcrew.link Team · Last updated June 2026

Why Finding the Right Crew Matters

Star Citizen is built around multiplayer experiences. Whether you're running cargo through dangerous space, crewing a Hammerhead for combat operations, or mining quantanium in the Aaron Halo belt, having the right people by your side makes all the difference.

While in-game chat and Spectrum can help you find players, they lack structure. That's where a dedicated Looking For Group (LFG) tool comes in.

How Does LFG Work on Starcrew.link?

Our Find Crew system lets you create structured posts that other players can browse and respond to. Each post includes:

  • Activity type — mining, combat, trading, exploration, bunker missions, and more
  • Ship selection — pick from your hangar or specify what ship you need crew for
  • Player count — how many crew members you're looking for
  • Description — details about what you're planning and any requirements

What Activities Can I Find Crew For?

Starcrew.link supports all major Star Citizen game loops:

  • Mining — multi-crew mining in a MOLE or Orion, or group mining with Prospectors
  • Combat — bounty hunting, PvP, org operations, or crewing capital ships
  • Trading — cargo hauling convoys, trade route partners
  • Exploration — pathfinding, scanning, Pyro expeditions
  • Bunker & FPS missions — ground combat teams
  • Racing — find racing partners and rivals
  • Casual hangouts — just flying around the verse with friends

Tips for Creating a Great LFG Post

  1. Be specific — mention the exact activity, location, and approximate duration
  2. List your ship — players want to know what ship they'll be crewing
  3. Set expectations — mention if it's a chill session or if you need experienced pilots
  4. Include your timezone — Star Citizen is a global game, timezone matters
