Well I am about due to ask for this again. I want the ability to have 2 NPC's on my ship. I want the ability to have one fly my ship while the other and myself fly the fighters. I only ever play SOLO ... I don't care about exploration or any other update ... this is the ONLY thing I want. So pleeeeeeeeease .... Give me my extra NPC.
2 NPC's onboard pleeeeeeease

I hereby grant you two NPCs. I however am a nobody.

I'd love extra crew on my ship.
Although, I did just fire 2 of them....
It does mean a wing of 4 CMDRs could have 8 fighters up. Might be a little excessive. Lol

Me too
Sounds totally awesome to me.
I'm sure most of us are. But this (along with a load of roles and survivability for the crew) has been suggested so many times that it's hard to make a serious reply any more.
Which is not the OP's fault, naturally! So OP, I agree wholeheartily.
Would make gankers think twice.
Yeah, it's cringeworthy how you go to hire a Mostly Harmless pilot and they are this ancient geezer bragging up their combat skills. I'm thinking, "You sure your trembly hands can grip a flight stick, grandpop?"
Harmless NPCs are just that... Harmless. Put one in a fighter and they don't seem able to hit the broad side of a barn... at least not very often.
Given that we can have one NPC to fly for us, and get whatever ship they're flying shot up for us, why not 2? Put both in fighters, or 1 in a fighter and one on the bridge, I'm all for it.
It would be little different to multi-crew, just with NPCs that cost more.

Not all of them are Harmless though.
All three of mine are Elite. Have been for over a year...and I regularly leverage them in PvP.
Would love this!
I think they should make all multicrew functions the same as crew(or visa versa.) so you can get the full benefits solo or group. Pushing one over the other is stupid. Then make instances or other things like Star Trek Online where you can play with others or with NPC on instanced or other quests! 8)
STO is very much like what elite can be in many ways. Could be nice if they add space legs and other indoor things and quests.
But if this sort of things is every added. Please make everything doable with both players and NPC's. Then both player group and solo/NPC group can do everything. It helps in case of computer problems and leaves things open. Like in my case using linux and not trusting anything network related! 8p It's an odd case but it represent real generic considerations to work around.

When I finished my primary school day, I used to run home, hookup the C64 to the family B&W TV and hit load on that cassette loader ... I'd get maybe 60 mins each arvo before Dad got home and watched the news. Elite .. it was always Elite. I loved that game dearly ... and I played it every minute I could of every day.
So here I am some 30 yrs later ... HOTAS setup on my desk ... VR HMD resting on my head ... all plugged into my super computer by C64 standards ... playing Elite Dangerous. As I shadow the FederaI ships ... I glide through the asteroid belt in my Condor Fighter, glancing to my left reveals my Krait, stalking along side me ... just waiting to leap to my defence at the first sign of trouble.
I cannot put into words how this makes me feel. Sitting in that little fighter. Looking around the cockpit in VR ... knowing my Krait is beside me with my NPC at the helm. When all hell breaks loose it is simply the most amazing feeling I get from playing any game or any VR experience.
But alas .. it is forever missing ONE thing .... ANOTHER NPC flying my other bloody fighter ! Pleeeeeeaaaassseeee ... let me have another NPC ... it would be the icing on the cake for me. Complete my excitement ... double my joy at knowing my little crew are in the heat of battle with me .. while I stalk victims at the resource sites !
I have said it before ... but I literally care nothing for any of the the other aspects of the game ... this is my one and only wish.
