Description

 * If your crew is below a quarter the ship's total crew capacity, your increase rate is doubled.
 * If you lose all your crew, you've and die.

Additional, many events in the game have trigger conditions and results depending on how many crew members you have. Some events can reduce the crew, right up to complete extinction (therefore game over).
