Newcomer / Intro Comms with an NPC

[Killian Shepard]

So how does the chat system work with an NPC? Pirates for instance are supposed to be able to negotiate with traders. How does that work with an NPC? As a bounty Hunter sometimes I want the wanted person to drop thier cargo instead of fighting. (kind of makes me a pirate but I prefer privateer since I only do it to wanted people) Is that possible? Are there keyword? Dropdown somewhere I'm not seeing?

thats a good question,
i'm not sure their is a keyword or way to do it as such, i'd say if you want them to drop cargo,
your need a Hatch Breaker Limpet Controller or use your sub-system targeting to blow the cargo hatch away + a FSD so they can't jump out away as they drop the cargo
you may of course need a cargo scanner to make sure they have something worth taking to start with

if their is away even i'd love to know the answer to this one

It doesn't, currently there is no way to communicate with an NPC (aside from shooting them). If you want cargo from an NPC shoot out their hatch or use limpets.
