So I saw a post bout npc crews and I’m thinking why not have a special type of crewman known as pilots federations marines. These wouldn’t be your average crewman these brave souls are built to bounty hunt on settlements deal with scavs that sort of thing. To facilitate this every ship would get a marine barracks which would basically deploy in a team of three plus yourself. When their suit battery gets low they will actively seek out charger sockets so if you want to find a suit charging socket just follow your crewman. They will also scan any non guards they come across and, if wanted will shoot you can override this with scan at will
