Please Fdev, give us our own personel apex like pilots

I'm not sure how popular apex is, but I use it all the time in odyssey, in fact I haven't used my ships at all. Why? Because almost everything i do in odyssey does not require anything my own ships can offer. Not to mention apex is so convenient theres almost no point. If I need to go and do a POI mission I just buy a cheap sidewinder to complete it.

So fdev please give us the ability to either use our npc pilots or an additional crew member as something that can ferry us to stations and settlements and bring our ships into relevance in odyssey, because as it stands odyssey is so disconnected from everything else. Imo I would much prefer my own ship ferrying me than an apex shuttle.

Some ideas with this to make it slightly less convenient than apex would be cost (npc crew already charge a % of your profits), perhaps they can only be hired at bars or inside stations/settlements.
 
Shouldn't really be locking it behind multi crew ships.

Mechanically the system exists for ships to be auto flown to viable locations.

In the lore we have computers capable of managing the fsd as well as manipulating the ship to reach a location while avoiding objects.

Having auto dock and super cruise should be all you need to have your ship fly itself from a to b.
