My crew member is a billionaire from lounging around in crew quarters doing nothing for most of his career. Who is working for who here? My suggestion is to give more uses for the crew member for them to actually earn their wages beyond flying the srv.
Possible ideas:
1) Allow me to comms/message/book/order my crew member to fly my ship. The mechanic is in place for Apex to do this, so why not have my crew member fulfill the role with the benefit of using my own ship(s) to eliminate waiting time currently where I wish to fly my own ship after travelling with apex.
2) Allow my crew member to join my team and accompany me in ground conflict zones. This could introduce additional elite ranking for my crew member along with increased equipment requirements to outfit the crew member with suit & weapons
3) Allow my crew member to join my team and assist with any ground mission. Could simply act as combat support or even assist with looting items to make collecting resources easier.
The mechanics for 1) and 2) are essentially already in the game since we have apex and friendly npcs in ground czs. I appreciate it would still need a lot of work but it would sure add to the game, in particular to the solo cmdrs.
