=== Lesser Sources === Ship operations and ship combat are generally the biggest culprits when it comes to HP and Morale loss. They should be the Captain's primary concern early on. There are other sources though, which need keeping an eye on. The first is probably keeping your crew paid. The morale penalty for not paying your crew is not actually that severe, in the short term, but it gets worse if you put it off. If you pay crew every time you land it is unlikely that you will suffer significant morale loss from this quarter. The only time not to pay is really only if you don't have any cash or absolutely have to patch up your ship first. Morale can also be lost be lost through all of the Operations: Spying, Blockading, Patrolling, Exploring and trying to access a Black Market. The Black Market can be the worst as even attempting it will cause any crew with the Rigidly Lawful Trait to lose Morale. The good thing about Black Markets though, is that when you come out, you'll already be planet side. No crew will abandon until you land at another planet, and unless your crew has already snarfed up all the spice, you can normally patch things up before leaving. Some crew will have Traits that will cause them to lose Morale for other reasons. Generally these are not major sources of loss and can be managed by trips to the Spice Hall. It might be worth considering whether it's not just easier to dismiss such crew and find someone better suited to your Captain's preferred activities.
