Well, if u were booted, the next highest notoriety will take crew leadership. They should be able to recrew u back in. No need to have everyone drop crew.

I was pretty sure it was just the first person to click on RECRUIT new crew mates in the crew options thing. A couple tests show that Angel is correct.

The only time I ever see the correct "so and so is in another crew" message, is when that person is the head of their own crew. The rest of the time it gives the incorrect & misleading "already in your crew [remove] [cancel]" message.

Unlike "friend" requests that persist for a minute, crew dialogs simply vanish, when the person setting up crew moves on to the next person. The crew icon stuff helps a lot. Just remember to turn the icons off before launching a ship in SvS, or all your crew mates become easy targets for snipers. (On the beach, the icons are very, very helpful.)
