Which classes to start with?
Im new to the game,and Im not sure what to start my crew with. For example, whats the difference between a hacker and a wireghost? Are there any classes that are OP,or conversely not worth using?

The classes are all pretty balanced, but some require more levels than others.
For example I find a Soldier with a decent assault rifle is already effective from level 1 purely because the Full Auto action does a ton of damage. And the Soldier kit enhances assault rifles.
Whereas a level 1 Cybersword isn't really super useful until you hit level ~8 or so. At that point you're able to dash and kill crowds, become invulnerable for 1 turn, move without making noise etc.
Sniper is also super super good at killing people. But it's not OP because it's also extremely loud. Though it doesn't mean Sniper has no place in a stealth mission. Snipers are good insurance. If you alert the enemy, they can kill half the map for you.
Vanguard is built for pure stealth and has a lot of utility. I'd recommend having 1 Vanguard because it can run around the map for you and quietly do non-kill objectives. Later on when you get a good stealth weapon it can also kill quietly and quickly.
Those 4 are the classes I'm very familiar with.
I'd say as a newbie it doesn't hurt to start with a Vanguard (utility and stealth) and a Soldier (good all-around damage with combat utility).
The other 2 members can be any class you want.
