Just a random idea I had, which was probably someone else's, while reading the forums.
Like Limpets, NPC crew are another thing we tend to leave the station without. Tis annoying. Lol
So I had an idea. Again.
1) Allow us to have more than 3 crew. Any number is fine, as long as it's high.
2) Have an active and inactive rates for NPC crew. (Other wise things would get very expensive!)
Then!
3) Allow us to permanently assign crew to ships. Then when you switch out of a ship, the crew goes inactive. When you hop back in, they become active. But only in that ship.
So if I have 10 crew, Crewman A is assigned to my Anaconda, Crewman B is assigned to my Gunship. Every time I hope in my Anaconda, so do they, unless I change it. But if I switch to my Gunship, Crewman B is active, and Crewman A goes inactive.
[Dream mode=on]
4) Maybe then even allow us to have two or more active crew members, so we can launch more than 1 SLF in PvE.
The risk / reward is if you die, you lose two crew members. Your ship needs to be able to accommodate the crew.
5) Allow us to assign crew to ships that have seats, but are not SLF capable. Like the Python. Then when using the SRV, you can order them to do bombing runs from your ship. Lol

Thoughts?
