That's not NPC Wings as you already know. I want Python or FDL NPC wingmates, something you can't have when in Solo.

POLL: Should ED have AI Co-Pilots when AI crew are introduced?
- Thread starter Jex =TE=
- Start date

That's exactly what it is. I see everyone rushed to vote in the AP poll, this one's hardly been touched. I think people have realised what they were arguing against now.
Close the poll NOW mate!, before the NO guys wake up! 
Yes, yes, and YES!
NPC multicrew is my most wanted new feature. (well, that and a crime&punishment overhaul
)
Yes on having an NPC copilot for every two-seater plus ship in the game. I don't care if all they do is hold their joystick in a suggestive manner I just don't want to be alone in that cockpit any more when it's blatantly screaming "Co-pilot! Co-pilot! My kingdom for a giant furry co-pilot!"
It's about time the games' world stops feeling so empty like me and a scant few CMDRs are the only thing that's alive in the whole Universe in amongst all the abandoned automated stations with their pre-programmed voice messages and drone operated trucks, the reclusive trading card images of Engineers who mysteriously tweak your ship without you ever seeing them face to face and all the automated drone ships flying around out there with their text-only messages. We desperately need some "Johnny 5 is alive!" moments here people, devs and cats.

Why. There was a basic AI Auto pilot (it flew straight for the station) in the old game. I distinctly remember handing the ship over to the AI in my Panther, while I jumped from turret to turret, shooting down the bad guys.Close the poll NOW mate!, before the NO guys wake up!
No, now it's just presented in a more "lore-friendly" version, so to speak. Rather than having an AI do it for you, you've got to pay some schmuck to hit three buttons every hour or so.
Granted, I don't really care either way, but some people think the "MUH IMERSHUNS" argument is always right. Now, they can have all the IMERSHUNS they want, and a simple co-pilot to boot. Maybe we'll get player-friendly game mechanics out of it, for a change.
NPC, or AI multi crew was mandatory in the old games. You could not move from the station unless you had a full crew. Let's have it again and make them relevant once more.
It won't be mandatory. That would be stupid. If you can fit a copilot in your sidewinder, contact the Bureau of Galactic Records.
And it's a Y E S from me.
Precondition: it's an animated "lieving" 3d model you actually can see flying your craft and you talk to or at least has real voice acting voices like the ATC we already have.
Else. .no. (no Need for an orange text on black Background Autopilot Switch )

Not in a selfish way but yes as I assume every idea put forward would of course be optional and therefore feel quite happy to say that I don't like something. While the AP may well be your absolute ideal purchase and make the game complete I would choose not to buy one for the reasons given yesterday, during which at no time did I imply that I would or would not buy an AP just that I did not want it as I feel it just makes players lazy but change it into a mechanic that requires attention and offers improvements over time it would be something I would be interested in.
I think we should popularise the term "MUH GAME MEHKANIIKS" so that "MUH IMMERSHUNS" doesn't get delusions of OP-ness
If it is AI-Crew co-pilot or auto-pilot.
I would love to have some quality of live improvement like this.
Manually jumping long distances is so much no-fun gameplay I can't tell.
If I at least had my hands free to read a book and watch for alerts (interdiction, out of fuel) I would clap my hands and be happy.
Also I would not mind to have an AI co-pilot or autopilot for long SC travels.
YES! I want some tech or AI-co pilot to deligate the task of A-B flights.

It's pretty obvious. Why go to the effort of adding Crew which we can only carry 1 and not even see them although they're supposed to be!
Rid the 3D printer and allow 2 Fighters at same time and make them sit in our Cockpits. No remote either - make them go pilot them and if they lose their Ship they also get to use the escape pod which now must be made visible is all Ships.

Yes.
Of course there should be NPC crew, thats a pretty basic feature, like exploration and mining ehemmm... ok lets not get that way.
But the AI needs to be improved a lot, the areas in this game are pretty open and the collision detection ir really bad.
Multicrew will be for me one of the most important features and I hope the gameplay starts to become more complex.

I gave you a +1 on this line alone.
Never would have guessed the vote on AI crew flying your ship would go in the opposite direction as the autopilot vote.
This place is bizarro-world.
