Mercenary wing-mates

[The space tyrant]

Here's the idea:

Hire a mercenary NPC pilot to join your wing.

Initial fee scaled to the level of the NPC/Ship + They take a cut of whatever revenue you earn from bounty you earn... similar to crew members.

So... many... times... But hey, most of my completely new and original ideas turn out to have been proposed many times before, too.

Anyway, most of us totally agree and support your idea.

I see the potential argument of being OP but two fighters at once should be a thing. I can launch two, hire 3 pilots but only launch one at once. Makes no sense and isn't OP because if I did it in multicrew then I'd get extra pips as well. Also if you're crazy enough to pay that much money for two active pilots then you should be allowed to, burn that money.
