What is the 'Crew lounge'?

In the passenger gameplay movie, right at the first second a 'crew lounge' tab is visible on the left side, placed right under 'universal cartographics'.

I wonder what this is and what we will be able to do there... any ideas?

Edit: unrelated to this, but something I really like: FD updated the scope of the PG face-generater, as it seems. One of the passengers has a very dark skin tone. Finally, we'll get some racial diversity and not the "white-washed" uniformity any more! :)

I was just going to post this same thread/question.

I do know I'm dreaming... But it'd be great to "hire" NPC type crew. And for passenger missions hire Cabin Attendants for my compartments and luxury suites.

Getting more real... I noticed the "Helm" tab on the ship launching menu yesterday, and wondered where a big part of "Multi-crew" infrastructure is going into 2.2. In such a case, the "Crew Lounge" could play into further. that.

Idk. FD tend to put in UI related content only when it's needed. I think (hope) you're right. They might be giving us npc crews. It makes sense with the canon of the game for us to have a crew rather than AI smart enough to fight if we're in the fighter or the fighter flying in combat like a drone.

Plus I would give them a base to work with to get multi-crew ready in 2.3

Maybe tomorrow. I have a feeling not though. Possibly Saturday or Sunday, they need something to talk about on those days

Oh, we've been talking for days about nothing from one little leaked video, I'm sure they could go on forever with all the actual content coming in 2.2 alone. ;)

It seems like some interesting ideas, hopefully they will upload the full streams for view, I have to work over stream time after all.

I imagine the crew lounge is an additional small cargo space to transport a cargo called crew from A to B.

Its worth remembering that passengers missions are not the primary aim of 2.2. When they set out the road map 2.2 it was describes as:

"2.2 – Guardians - Still to come - Take what comes and strike back with double. Bring a second ship to every combat encounter with Ship-Launched Fighters and defend your passengers against the deadliest threats in the galaxy"

Today I assume we'll go through primary content of 2.2 and the crew lounge will be where you hire crew for your ship launched fighters.

NPC crew in crew lounge:

So I watched it and it is called npc crew, but the npc crew is just a picture and some stats, shame it was not someone sitting in the chair next to mine, but no that would only be for the players in open who can find other players to partake...

Pilots for shiplaunched fighters. You can level them up to elite, they can control main ship (when you are flying fighter yourself). They die on crash.

ShipLaunchFighters have preset loadout and no engineers fun.
