10. As scavengers, crows are uniquely suited to accompany a Commander. Anyone who's done any engineering knows this game might as well be called ELITE: DANGEROUS SCAVENGER.

9. Crow brains feature pattern recognition that's on a par with ours, especially when it comes to faces. This will make them invaluable as an early warning system for notorious Commanders, mission hitmen, and ex-spouses. Cats are asleep.

8. With an affinity for bright, shiny objects, crows (when equipped with suitable protective gear) have obvious advantages when a Commander forgets the collector limpets. Crows far outshine cats in this respect because cats just can't be bothered unless your mining fragments dart about in a fishlike way.

7. Crows are famous for battlefield clean-up, and in the cockpit they can terrify a Commander's enemies by pecking at his previous opponents' heads (if available) or uttering bone-chilling caws when appropriate. Cats show similar behaviors only when you make a sound like a can opener, which is awkward unless you're using Voice Attack.

4. Crows mourn their fallen comrades, though admittedly their behavior here can be questionable. Cats? They'll just eat you.

3. Crows also remember what property belongs to the humans with whom they're acquainted, and will return that property to its owner. Just try to get anything away from a cat. I dare you.

2. Crows will happily perch on just about anything with a good view. Cats in zero-G are a menace. For reference, compare the rear-view of a crow with the rear-view of a cat, which is what you'd be seeing most of the time... and at close range.

1. Crows would never sit on your ship's controls and bat at your bobbleheads while you're trying desperately to get one more pip to SYS.

I thought your shouty title had a typo and was supposed to read "CREW", NPCs of which I would love to have sitting in my ship. :D

Hello Kittypool speaks for itself, really. Also, ferrets make a "dook" sound.

I don't dislike cats. I have 2 of them. I just don't think space is any place for them. It would be very hard to fly with a butt in your face.

Crows? Cats?

No, no, no no, and no. When you hoist the Jolly Roger and prepare to send that fat juicy Type 9 to Davy Jones's locker no pirate worth
his salt would be accompanied by a either of those creatures. This will not do.

A parrot is required. :cool:

I tried that but it just lies there in the cage on it's back. It's not sleeping, is it?

Just going to say that this is ridiculous. Cockpit Ferrets are far more practical.

You know, while a crow could dodge and annoy an attacking Thargoid (once we get legs), a ferret could do a few things there that crows could never do.
