NPC Crew Enhancements - Saw this on Reddit, great idea!

Although Frontier have already gone down the route of irrational perks in Multi-Crew (I'm looking directly at you, extra pip(s)!), I'd hope that we won't see them increase FSD range due to the presence of a crew-member....

.... I'd really, really like to be able to hire NPC crew (rather than just Fighter Pilots) though. :)

I would really like to hire NPC crew members to simply sit in the co-pilots seat and look nice. ... maybe look at me when I look at them and possibly wink at me

However, I used to play another space game where you could hire NPC crew (or AI crew iow), that would enhance performance of the ship. (i.e., an engineer may improve FSD boot up speed, or a science officer who honks each system for you and can extend scan range, etc.) Nothing that would make a ship OP compared to a similar ship w/o an AI crew but minor improvements.

Imho, it would be fun if you could Holo-you a crew's appearance. That would make those long journeys not quite so lonely. :)

Just a thought

Or why not use NPC crew to replace some modules? Use an NPC engineer to get a very slow but limitless module repair (maybe only working an module with >90% health). Use a copilot NPC to do auto docking without a docking computer.
