Question to DEV's about NPC CREW.

[InDigital]

Good day Frontier!

Amazing game Elite is...
But can we hope in future our NPC crew we are training won't die with the ship as they are even not sitting in there.
Or maybe then we can have them on board?

Also i don't understand why another inactive crew members get's money for nothing.
Ok i understand they are hired but can they at least get half of ranking then?
Otherwise they are useless...

Thanks!

They are on board, they are in the fighter bay.

They are on board, they are in the fighter bay.

Really?

Where your NPC crew are is unclear.
They are conveniently present in every crew lounge in the galaxy, so that must be by telepresence.
But you have to take them with you if you want them active, suggesting that they cannot in fact operate by telepresence.

Go figure.

Gameplay reasons are because of multicrew - they don't want players to choose between MC and NPC crew at this point. It is not most 'beautiful' reason, but that's the one.

In-game reason is that they are at fighterbay.

I personally would welcome visible NPC crew in cockpit.

I totally agree with CMDR Eagleboy. I don't understand why we are getting pushed into MPC instead of getting our NPC trained and show up in their seats. We do have the choice to to pick Solo or Open...so why do we haven't the choice to go for MPC or NPC? I don't want to have a player in my Cutter making "strange thing" {no cursing[yesnod]} that in a worst case could cost my ship!!

+1 for active NPC in the cockpit and yes...we must be able to train the like the fighter pilots....
