Passenger cabins and stacking missions

[Bomba Luigi]

It depends on the passangers, some you can put in the same cabin some not. Some of the larger groups you can put into two cabins, but that seem to only work for economy as far as I can tell.

I run one class 6 First class cabin and 2 Class 5 Economy, and a small class 4 Buisness class where I can put some picky people in that don't wanna share a cabin. Also have a class 6 luxury cabin but its really just there for the sake of having it. It does not seem to be of much use.

So I bought a Keelback and installed a 16 space economy cabin so I could stack missions and take a large group of passengers. I accepted one mission of 5 passengers and I could not accept any other missions. It seems that only one group of passengers are allowed per cabin?

Has anyone else experienced this?

I would like to see a ship with two or three large cabins where I could potentially take 30-45 passengers at a time, but it seems that we can't stack missions in the same cabin.

Would love to hear what other are seeing...

It's a      poor game mechanism which was flagged up during Beta but still slithered into the full build...

You guys are mistaking the crown icon meaning they are VIP, it's actually to signify the precious princess syndrome.

Ah OK, I get it now, they are happy with Economy but want it to themselves because they are a VIP. Getting confused with the logical disconnect that VIPs would generally want to fly First or Luxury.

I actually really like that. I imagined the famous journalist being like, "Fine! I'll ride in goddamn economy - but you better keep that riff-raff away from me or I'll be calling head office!"

Some do - you'll note the "Minimum Accommodations" listed in their description. Others just want to get from Point A to Point B.

And if you really want to be annoyed, pick up a "Secretive" passenger of High Value. Not only will the NPCs be shooting at you the entire time, they will be scanning you over and over and over, to p!ss off your passenger(s).

I see a mission, 21 protesters, economy class.
I can store them easily in my beluga, one economy, one business, one first class cabin.
The mission is under "available missions"
But when I come in the screen were I have to pick a cabin all the cabins are "capacity exceeded"
I have to divide those protesters in two cabins, how do I do that?
....or should this mission be under "requirements not met" ??

Now tell me that there isn't a lot of people thinking that way

When I've done people transporting, i find it's better to have a homogenous cabin type in your ship. So, 2 x 16-pax business class units will give you 32 seats, and that's fine for seating a mission like 21 protesters, but a 1 x 16 pax business class and 1 x 20 pax economy won't let you seat them.

It's a bit annoying tbh.

Also, best way to tell the difference between VIP and Non-VIP missions I find is that VIPs will be "Take Tom Brown to..." while non-vips are "Take 12 X to Y". I don't find the icons distinct enough... maybe VIPs could be a face, rather than the same non-vip suitcase with a little crown?

Yes, it will let you spread a large group of passengers across multiple cabins, but those cabins all have to be the same type. It won't let you mix'n'match cabin types, upgrading some of the passengers but not others. It appears that these passengers have a very strong sense of fairness: either everybody gets a free upgrade, or nobody gets a free upgrade. So to carry that passenger mission, you'll have to ditch the Business cabin and replace it with another Economy (or vice-versa).

And yes, it seems to me to be a bug that the mission states it's "available" when it really isn't.

Some VIP's, I guess, are prepared to slum it . The clue is the presence of the crown icon on the mission title.

It is bizarre though, you have to admit. On the one hand prepared to slum it in a seat with the legroom required by a three year old, but don't put anybody else in my cabin because that messes with my chakra or something. So this VIP is sat there folded up in two in his economy seat, with seven other empty economy seats around him. It's nonsensical.
