I guess we're never getting passenger missions.

Passenger missions and modules seem to be forgotten in any mention by Frontier over the past few months. They stopped mentioning it in the newsletters around 1.1 / 1.2.

The game has been out for over six months and we still have no idea when it is coming, if at all. Does anyone know if it is or isn't being added to the game at some point?

You're right. Wasn't that going to be another career choice? Wasn't the Orca meant to be good for that?

I don't see how it could work with Wings now in affect.

The fact that we have passenger ships, but no passengers yet pretty much guarantees that they will come at some point. Making the ships would have been pretty pointless otherwise.

As I've said before many times...NPC comms (two way) is the bottleneck currently for this (and other NPC features). So if we are going to nag about something, let's nag about the comms instead. ;)

Sorry not sorry for the click bait post title, but it's not like Frontier has said they are coming in update 1.X or by a certain Date. Curious minds want to know!

I forgot about Slaves and Imperial Slaves, lol, those are possessions not passengers!

Depends if you are saving them or not? ;)

Yes, you're right, without this you can't interact in solo. Could be the beginning of something special. Would FD do this now though having gone down the multiplayer route so definetly?

Slaves and imperial slaves are coming frozen in containers for transportation, therefore they are more like cargo than real persons. You can't have tea party with them. Well, you can, but talk may be a little bit one-sided.

Every time I buy a hauler and equip all D class stuff and an A class FSD to travel 200lys away to one of my ships, feels like a passenger mission...

I would laugh my ass off if passenger mission came, and the Clipper was better at them than the Dropship.

Nope, posted about it several times before.

Why would multiplayer stop them? NPC comms are everywhere in all kinds of games. Singleplayer or MMOs doesn't make a difference.

And by the way...

Another question mark...why would "Wings" make passengers impossible?

Hello dear friend Jo`Baccaroo,

no, you are not alone. There are many threads around here and nearly every day someone else starts a new one about it.

yesterdays thread: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=154677

We all are eagerly awaiting the implementation of passenger transport. When I asked, if passenger missions are part of the mission overhaul in 1.3, Michael said "No."
So I am trying to keep the discussion alive, and would love you all to support this.

As far as we know (no, not know - rather 'may guess') passenger transport will be a big thing, introducing persistent NPCs, new travel destinations (sightseeing for tourists, space-factories and military facilities for spies, ...) and ship modules.

Everytime I cannot play Elite Dangerous (server issues, Patchday, ...) I play FFE and enjoy my passengers.
