However, I am curious as to how people handle the new crew in a new profile, or new campaign. There are always 5 or 6 crew slots empty (1 officer, a few each pettys & sailors). Do you run first cruise with existing crew or use SH3's barracks (and spend some renown) to fill the empty slots? Or do you do it on later cruises. Is it possible/desirable to increase crew level from within Commander?
Thanks.

Since my first patrol is usually a short shakedown cruise, I run it with just the crew I got handed when I started the career.
After that I will add crew to fill out my roster as needed. Typically I add as many as the game will allow from the in-game "barracks" and unless I'm really in need of someone with a particular qualification (and there's a qualified officer or NCO available) I don't spend renown on adding crew. You can always get a cadet, junior PO, or Matrosengefreiter for 0 renown. Early on I figure I've got time for the n00bs to gain experience on my boat instead of paying extra for the experience they got elsewhere.
If you dismiss a crewman in Commander it will give you the option to replace him from within Commander as well, and IME it always costs some renown, but AFAIK there's no way to add
extra crew except from the crew mgmt screen in the game.
