There will be co-pilots both NPCs and other players.
This is why the bigger ships have been designed with more seats to begin with. Players having this ability won't be in the first release though, but I guess there is a chance that we will see NPCs filling out this role to begin with in some simple ways.

Yes, bring it on, because I really want to carve out a long and storied career as the guy who cleans the gunk out of the chicken soup machines at Chango Dock.
(Jesus wept.)
what do you guys know about future jobs? because assassin, trader, pirate, bounty hunter, and explorer is good and all but i was hoping for more.
like cops, engineers selling their skills and fixing ships. and even jobs that are going to be on planets and cities like a hunter who sells meat and fur, or a miner who goes on planets and well...mines...
i mean the possibilities are endless....so how far are they going with this?
There will be luxury passenger transports in the game. If they are available to players, there is the option of running one and perhaps becoming a holiday tour operator!![]()
how about a get a real jobjust kidding buddy
I also thought about this and wondered if it were possible in the future of the game to own your own station and be the docking computer guy, like accepting peoples docking requests etc and actually being in the space traffic control centers. that would be dope!
seriously dude it's like you keep pulling through with more and more info. i mean, thought i found every vid and info. then there you go showing me something i haven't seen.
you sir are good sir
added note: because of you i have 21 min of pure joy.
