1st, 2nd, 3rd tier npcs

as yet, we do not have the interesting NPC's (tier 2) and at this point there is no real sign of them coming either though ship crew may be a strong first step.

Actually, I suspect passenger missions will be the first real sign.....then NPC crew.

Cheers for that. So what we have for PP characters would be considered Tier 1 and the people we see milling around systems/stations are T3's?

I'd love the idea of finding a character who you could go to for missions once you gain enough rep with that faction (from general BB missions)

The first step of this is the 'go to system x between x oclock and y oclock and find Z NPC. This is already in the game in 1.5.
