SLF Pilot NPC Creator Next?

How about using the CMDR creator to create your own NPC crew?

You make the name, create the pilot, pick the voice pack for that NPC and pay the appropriate cR for their starting rank.

If you can find a way round the lore, cloning vats or something this sounds great.

Hell, sounds good even if it had no explanation.

But the NPC's die when your ships sinks.... Then the face design is dead.

Unless you can save it, but that then means Fdev need to purchase storage on their end to save the metadata for your multiple custom NPC's


...which they wont.

Let them die.

Don't change the mechanics, just offer more options and use for a tool that you already dumped money into development on.

I picked one I like from the internet? Basically you can find someone exactly like you want him/her to look like. There is s lot of people in the bubble, maybe even billion billion people, who live on different kind of planets/environments and under different suns. There would be enough people to find the 3 you like, easily. You "customizing" them would just be the game part. OR then just don't explain at all as there is no need to explain it like there is no need to explain, instant multicrew, controlling ship launch fighters, cmdr respawning etc. ITS A GAME.

Doesn't need to be explained why you can change what they look like. Give the option to change their name as well and even their bio. No lore reason necessary, it's a customisation option that helps attract and keep players. Same as with X Com

Bet that even with Frontier supporting this we wouldn't see it until "season 4" and even then it would be behind another 2 seasons worth of paywalls.

So much pessimism, the mechanics are all pretty much there so it'd be a fair bit of UI juggling to add the new bits in, some links to make the whole thing fit together. I'd say maybe 3.1 would be possible, 3.2 if they took their time... Assuming it was picked up now of course :)

Although what's possible and what hits the top of the priority tree are entirely different :p

Not pessimism, truth.

I know two things in life:

1) Russians don't take a dump without a plan.

and

2) FD don't develop free content.

I think this would be great.
More use of the commander creator too.
Would need SLF pilots to appear on deck though.

While I would love to see my copilot as holome on the bridge, and maybe be able to choose their uniform, i am happy for NPC's to be the NPC's that the RNG gods created. No editing.

I'm of two minds, one of which agrees with you.

The other though doesn't know why both can't coexist.
