Odyssey and NPC wings / crew

A few months / years / aeons ago, Frontier was asked about the topic of NPC crew and wings. I believe that was during a live stream but I don't remember exactly. What I do remember exactly, is that their objection was missing communication systems between the player and NPC. It looks like Odyssey will address this issue so now is the time to add cockpit cats.

I have a feeling going by the likely name of the 3rd dev diary "assemble your crew" it may be a hint on what's to come. Someone asked about npc companions in the stream and they basically said they have nothing to say at this time. So I'm calling it, next dev diary is npc crew or companion.

I wasn't aware that we already know the name of the 3rd dev diary, thanks!

Been hoping for NPC crew filling seats for a long time. But whether it will happen, and perhaps as importantly, how FD implement it, remain to be seen.

It would kinda seem silly to populate the planets, stations, outposts etc and still leave our ships empty! Haha :LOL:

Making your NPC pilot appear in an empty seat would have been the EASIEST way to first introduce life into the game.

We are calling you out FDEV - make it happen! (y)(y)(y)(y)

On that topic.

Can anybody tell me who the two people are in the original announcement trailer? We have to assume one is, well, us, the player. Who is the other one, travelling in the same ship?

Another player? If so, there will need to be a way to do physical multicrew on a single ship.
An npc crewmember?

Can only be one of the two surely?
