NPC wingmen in solo play

Hi Dev team,
Since the release of beyond chapter 1, I see that there are a lot of missions that appear to be geared towards players in wings. It would be nice for those that play on the PS4 and I'm sure other platforms who do not have a subscription and can only play in solo play to be able to form a wings with npc cmdr's. We would then be able to enjoy what seems to be a vast part of the game.

I did see that this topic has been brought up in the past hoping that it would be in this latest update but it would seems even more relevant now.

Great game though that I hope will only get better.

regards,

Brett76.

Heck no. If Open Play doesn't get it's own thing, then Solo Play doesn't get it own thing.

Now, make Power Play and BGS work Open only, and I'm down to negotiate.

While I am a great supporter of NPC wingmen, I don't quite see why they would need to be solo only. Just give everyone access to them, makes for a simpler system and keeps the multiplayer crowd happy. Sure, solo players might get the most benefit out of them, but I'm sure many open players would be more than happy if they could work more with NPCs.

I think NPC wingmen would be a good thing for both solo and open, I was not suggesting that they be excluded from open play only that in solo play people on PS4 that don't pay extra for a subscription each year don't even get the chance to try or enjoy that part of the game.

I add my vote to solo and open NPC wingmen. I see why solo suggestion might seem better as it would not interfere with others' game but if I am to be interdicted by a wing, I am far less scared of NPCs.

The only problem that may arise is IMO a technical one; each player ship WOULD soon be a wing of ships if it was not too costly. Meaning far more ships flying around constantly.

I think there could be an easy answer to the problem of every player then flying around as a wing. The Dev team could make it so they are mission specific and that the NPC wingmen are hired on for that one mission and will not go along with acts of aggression against other players. There could also be slightly longer term NPC wingmen for hire just for the community goals where a Wing of ships is advantageous, say for instance taking on the Thargoids. Just a thought but I think it could work.
