You can render the NPC's now, so can you please render my crew member into one of my empty ship seats? Heck, you could even let them get outfitted with suits / accessories same as our Commanders.
All those hours flying with my fighter pilot, would be great to see them sitting there at long last.

Actually hirable NPC crews with a set of different roles which have different effects on the ship would be a good next step.

Fighter pilots are nice and all, but there are other interesting ways NPC crews could interact with different features of Elite, and give players different choices in tweaking their ship (eg. a Gunner can improve turreted weapon performance, whereas a WSO gives a grace period of a second or two before chaff takes effect, with ships only having up to 3 crew you'd basically never have all the roles available to every ship all the time so there would be more interesting and specific choice matching than engineering)

Next level of ship upgrades: Crew?

Base game we earned credits and A-rated our ships Horizons we got engineering materials and engineered the crap out of our ships Could we in the future see ourselves hiring crew members to make certain ship functionality more efficient/powerful? We've already hired fighter pilots and crew for...

I had a suggestion post for NPC crew a little while back. It would be an awesome way to add even more depth and choice to ships.

Make them take up roles in the ship, and if you multicrew then human players can take over those roles.
