Lost NPC crew member after re buy

I lost my ship several times recently and every time again my lost crew member got restored. BadCoffee is right, this option has been introduced some time ago!
 
Yeah - I have been able to rebuy my crew in the past and present, I lost my NPC crew member not on the rebuy screen but on a re log later on that evening. Timeline was > died > rebuy(still had crew) > zoned > deployed NPC crew > relogged > empty fighter on follow with no crew in it and no crew in stations etc
 
Not at the starport and I just replicated and lost another NPC crew member exactly the same way - I am so exhausted with the endless bugs in this game, as a newer player the experience awful.
 
That's the way it used to be, yes. However in one of the fleet carrier patches before Odyssey, don't remember which, it was changed so you could keep an NPC crew member when rebuying
I have never seen this..nor can find it in any patch notes :unsure: I do briefly remember a bug though where if your srv or SLF was destroyed your crew died which there is a patch note for, maybe this is what you are referring to

That's from a community wiki though, can you reference the dev forum patchnotes? because im pretty sure it was just until the bug i mentioned was fixed
 
The crew member is lost not on the rebuy of the ship but when you relog after respawning - resulting in an empty SLF
