1 Crew ships

[VanceMadrox]

It's entirely likely I just missed something somewhere but how do starship roles work for a ship with only 1 crew?

I'd think the crew could be either pilot or gunner and have computers run the other but couldn't find anything about this and if it is this way makes 1 manned fighters not really that good.

Check out "minor crew actions" on page 326.

You can still use a single gun (with a penalty) or take a very limited pilot action even if you took an Engineering action that round.

Also -- I would imagine that the typical fighter scenario would be a "dog fight" involving multiple fighters with a single crew, so every combatant would be facing the same action economy problems that you are. Alternatively, you could be doing the equivalent of the Star Wars trench run, in which case you should expect to be the underdog.

I knew I was missing something, thanks

This is why Luke and those fighters had a astromech droid. The droid does the other stuff while you fly and kill the baddies.
