Are there any plans to sit our NPC crew members in the empty chair in the cockpit?
- Thread starter baron_V_S
- Start date
Only person I want in my passenger chair is "Inflatable Simon - The Lonely Pilot's Friend" (also available in Susan flavour)
Ah, memories of a night on the Lavian lash!
That's something the community actually wants. So no...
Hi, I'm Simon and I'll be your co-pilot for as long as you'll have me. It's been a long road up from flying commercial liners. I never thought I'd be here with you today.

I would really like for this to happen. If they have to zap all of the crew photos and recreate them to make it happen, so be it.
It's something that I'd really like, ideally with a function (i/e you need crew to operate the advanced docking computer or to do the autoland on planets, operate turrets) or even just to fill up the empty bridges.
It's been asked for many times and fairly recently Stephen Benedetti responded with "...we have nothing to announce at the moment" to an AMA question.

Is there a stance on 'cut scenes'? (I consider Elite all the better for having none.)
Stop dreaming impossible things OP, even if its already in game with APEX 
Like a lot of things in ED, all features quite often sit in isolation or are inconsistently applied.

This sums it nicely. There can be so much more added with better use of our crew, but considering how much time was needed to at least apply possibility to keep them with rebuy I fear it will need few more years. One can still hope however.
I only support this if its an OPTIONAL thing. I quite like having my ship to myself. If it's a toggle so that we dont have to hear incessant shuffling or chat from this body or peripheral movement and i can disable them. fine.
NPCs are optional.

looks like an STD pamphletSpace cacti...
Same energy.
Retcon Telepresence Multicrew.
Remote piloting fighters - makes sense, paper thin in combat, safe.
Telepresence connection across up to tens of thousands of LY - ehhh what?
Multicrew should always have just been "spawn in host's ship because gameplay requires it". If you need a lore explanation, you're inhabiting a member of the host's NPC crew.
I think it should offer the choice to put an AI equivalent in the same "slots", for those who like the quiet.
That way, people could enjoy the gameplay benefits of such a crew management sim, without their ship feeling different.
