Racial Crew mixture q's

[Hasimere]

For immersion, I am testing beta 3.0 and it seems when you create your own shipyard/wharf/EQ, the crew you purchase will be mixed race.

Not an issue except when my Split come out. They are my favorite race and I want full split crews, immersion, etc. I tested this with all argon parts for the station including argon quarters/admin. Made an argon ship, but still got a mixed crew.

Is this a known thing?

bug, by design?

Thanks

Currently I think it is by design. At the very minimum players would need some way to configure the races used which outside of role playing uses has no impact on gameplay as all races perform all roles equally well.

Perhaps might be good if composition of ship crews were determined by the habitation modules at the shipyard.

It does seem a bit weird that they're not drawn from the species which inhabits the station, like what happens for everyone else. I guess it could be that it never really kept track of that, and just assumes each faction hires its own species. Maybe it would be less work then to add a select species option rather than have it based on shipyard pop.

As the game progresses, and crews do what creatures do, when do we get to see the offspring of these cross breeding aliens.

Then after Split arrive and get going, there will be,

I'm confused, in my 3.0 beta game all crew "purchased" at factions docks are the of same species as the dock owner.
On the other side, in my own factories I have multispecies crew not depending on the kind of habitat I build on the station (so they are eating "alien" food and ussing "alien" meds I guess )
