[2021] There really needs to be an option to turn off forcing roles onto players its campaign ruining.

Hi eveyone, just to write back that we don't actually ignore either these forums or our GitHub ;) there are just so many messages and, particularly here on these forums, only one of me.

Regarding the issue at hand, we've been discussing this lately and I think it's likely we will make some changes in the near future to how crew roles are assigned. However, we've not planned those changes yet in detail so I can't tell you much more than that for now.

With that, wish you a good week!

Originally posted by Shiro: hopefully this will be fixed asap as quickfix, and not without need to wait next large update :)

Unfortunately this is not hotfix material – fixes that are introduced in a matter of days are hugely risky as they can break the game in unexpected ways, and as such hotfixes should only contain very small and/or absolutely critical things, which this, despite being annoying, is not. However, rather than wait for the next really big update, this change might make the bugfix and quality of life improvements patch that we're currently working on and hoping to release before Christmas. More info about that closer to date!
