The NPCs should fly around with the new ships: Python MK II, Type-8 Transporter, the upcoming Mandalay and more. They should also use the paintjobs and ship kits to improve variety.

Having an NPC crew member can highly increase the damage if they are well trained, however, why is aiming the only skill they improve when ranking up? It'd be great if they could not only enhance their aiming but other Basic combat skills like evasive maneuvers, specially when they are locked by...

After reading this book there could be a NPC uprising...

Good morning! These are some suggestions for the current NPCs we hire that so far have almost zero actual reason to exist based on features found in other games: 1. Allow us to send the hired crew members (NPCs) on material gathering "quests" using our owned ships and we'd choose the material...

ED needs something like OpenAI's GPT to make all the NPCs interactive.

"NVIDIA ACE for Games is a new foundry for intelligent in-game characters powered by generative AI. Developers of middleware, tools, and games can use NVIDIA ACE for Games to build and deploy customized speech, conversation, and animation AI models in their software and games." This would...

I remember when crew first came out, the images generated were probably all done in 2d, so obviously seeing them in the copilot seat wouldnt make sense. But now? Now I think that the crew avatars are probably models. And since NPCs can occupy other seats in the game... I dont think there's...

Crew of my FC dont know me. They cant say even hi or salute. They dont notice me. Its similar in starports where I am allied with some faction, or even if its my Player minor faction.

As with all my suggestions, this is for Frontier staff to look at and consider for a (likely far) future update to Elite. I've been pretty critical of the "Disney animatronics" version of what I would call Elite's "Foreground Simulation" - that is, the generation and behavior of NPC ships that...

Three NPCs have the exact same sleep animation. It's a pity that Frontier considers this acceptable for a space simulator Anno 2022. Every NPCs needs additional animations across the board to prevent such repetitive circumstances. The screenshot is from a reddit post.

Will ever the NPC blocking the starports ever be fixed ?

I play mainly as a transporter and explorer and find it very frustrating to be attacked continuously by NPCs, even three or four times during a single journey and multiple times in the same game session. I point out that I am not a shooter lover (I also believe that on Elite Dangerous the...

Was wanted in other systems, with no interstellar bounty (like an Empire Bounty), and got pulled over by an NPC bounty hunter. Since I had just engineered my weapons, I decided he was going to pay for wasting my time with an interdiction. He was clean (but affiliated to the major faction in the...

A few days ago I was in a friendly settlement (they were green for me), inside a building. I wasn't stealing or doing anything illegal, was just standing there while reading an article on a website. So I heard in the distance a npc saying that he wanted to scan me. I went back to the game...

Frontier adds a 3D model of Space Khaleesi, Aisling Duval in-game. :love: :LOL:

Hello Quick question... so, not much of a miner, although made several billion with VO, when you could. I am going to start getting into laser mining and wondering, do NPC pirates just automatically attack you, regardless of their demands to drop some cargo? I have been interdicted millions...

Release: https://github.com/sreipro/EDAudio/releases/download/v1.0.49/EDAudio-Setup.msi Hi all, I have been using for a few months an app that I developed to have custom music and TTS in ED. I was wondering if this could interest you even though it already exists... if you are interested, I...

Since the combat bond, and bounty boost, the NPC-s are cheating even more. Most of them have some kind of gimballed railguns (all have one at least), with the 95% accuracy, from 2000m to my small ship too while thrusting sideways randomly! Also they constantly spamming chaff, and SCB, which...

Instead of the same couple of phrases they are posting everywhere, it would be great to make NPCs to discuss the recent GalNet or local news in the chat window. It will improve the immersion and also more commanders will know about what's going on and if there are something new in the news.

I'm sitting here watching dozens (hundreds?) of NPCs interact with my carrier, and whilst it's great to see the landing pads quite so busy I confess I'm a bit annoyed at all these NPCs getting a free ride. They're stopping off, I can only imagine, to refuel and repair after conflict or to empty...

I'm talking about these NPC pirates. Remember the good ol' days when an NPC would pull you over and give you n seconds to drop x amount of cargo? Not any more! Every single time I get pulled over by a pirate (who comments on my "juicy cargo"), it's instant smack, quack, give the duck a wack! I...

I was eliminating some of Yuri's EGP Agents for the glory of the Empire and was able to disable a Type-9's life support. His power plant and FSD had already been destroyed so he couldn't leave. He followed me around like a well-trained puppy for about 25 minutes, then just disappeared with...

...I was going to necro a post... 🧟‍♀️🧙‍♂️🧟‍♂️ But... I had some big ideas not only to allow NPC to use paintjobs but also detail how would they be applied. SO I'll start my own very fresh NPC paint job post! For the past year Fdev has been releasing...

Am I imagining things, or do NPCs scale with our ships? I would think the answer has to be "No", but allow me to explain why I'm even asking. Before VR, the humble Vulture was my favorite combat ship. With the right engineering, weapons, and piloting skills, I could take on most enemies...

Still grinding Fed rank doing courier missions. My combat rank, at the moment, is Expert. All of the NPCs sent against me are Deadly and in Anacondas. I'm actually enjoying it because it's forced me to learn how to fight better and I've been able to play around with FAO maneuvers. My MC has...

I'm talking about point defenses shooting down any and all missiles in proximity, regardless of whether those missiles are targeting the ships equipped with those overzealous PDs. I don't believe it's always been this way, as I don't remember this on PS4. It makes missiles pretty much useless in...

Why do so many important characters of the ED lore not have a profile image yet? Is Frontier too lazy to permit an artist to draw 2D artwork? Or will they add 3D models with the next expansion? There are so many things of the lore that lack any visual reference.

I'm enjoying the ferry service that Zende Partners provide with The Conduit and Sadler's Song but I'd like to use NPC Fleet Carrier routes to travel much longer distances, especially remote workshop locatons that are a really long ways off. So the suggestion is to put in a few pony express...

First, I've noticed that the number of rocks with cores have dwindled. Former pristine spots in and around Colonia are not yielding what they were. So, I switched my loadout for some weapons, and extra defense. Good call. Because, I'm getting mobbed by groups of 3-4 engineered NPC's, even...

Hello Frontier This long period of minor updates seems a good opportunity to tie up loose ends. I love the ship launched fighters. Everything about them, the sounds, the immersion, the system itself. Your developers went to a great deal to make SLFs an absolute joy and I commend them for that...

Or is it that they only do so for PP damage? I was positive NPCs were rebooting themselves to fix damaged modules, but a few recent encounters suggest this is no longer the case. I dismissed a few examples as being too low rank, but just yesterday I was exploring and came across an Elite NPC...

I just think it's about time. For balancing the Wing pilots or Second fighter slot can be saved for Solo. Or as a rule in Private modes. Wing pilots can easily dock or idle when you dock. Launch when you launch and use the same AI package to follow you as they do other NPC's. Own an extra ship...

When completing trade or other types of wing missions I think it would be good if I could make use of the hired crew or hire npcs to take along as part of the wing. They could use my spare engineered ships or have access to their own grades of ships for differing costs. They could be cast as...

It would be nice if we could interact with NPCs in CZ or AX CZ in a similar way we do to our hired NPC crew. When in a AX CZ currently it is near impossible to use research limpets before the NPCs destroy the scout. It would be nice to be able to issue a response like 'ignore my target', ' I...

Some people complain the NPCs are too easy, others complain they are too hard, my complaint is they are all too "samey". Lately I feel like every NPC pilot I encounter is the same pilot. I'm not just talking in combat. In fact, it's somewhat disconcerting to see passenger ships boosting out of...

I've vocally supported the new exploration tools, but I've also strongly advocated for giving us NPC crewmates in a (near) future update. Having just scanned a system with 80 planets, even I thought, "Wow, that was tedious!" So here's my idea: Why not allow an NPC crewmate, one who sits on the...

There are certainly issues with the SLFs. Not too many bugs persay. Locking up while docking for example. Pretty annoying for sure but one thing bugs me more than anything else: the npc pilot complaining/warning me that the hull is at 50% or is critical etc when in reality they blew up two or...

No cheats, exploits, nor macros involved. Just feed your favorite NPC (non-player cyborg) concubine/janitor 10% of your gross income and you'll never have to deal with PvE combat again. Apologies for the sloppy camera work, I was eating a plate of French toast while Alynna (affectionately known...

Can hired NPC's be given turret control? If not, is this a feature that is planned? I'm seriously looking at the Imp Clipper as my "end-game" ship. It has speed, agility, good internals, and a fair number of hardpoints. However it has a problem with hardpoint placement on the wings. If you only...
