Use for NPC crew (NPC Missons)

Need the ability for FC owners to send our hired NPC crew on missions for passive income. Something similar to NMS fleet missions. If I own a FC I need to feel like its being used.

Mission Examples:
1. Send an NPC on a mission to gather trade data from surrounding markets
2. Send an NPC to offload stored goods on FC for sale
3. Send an NPC on general combat/patrol

Details:
All of which can be used with already in place mechanics. Ships stored in your storage will be used so you will have to own multiple ships. There would be a timer like the ship transfer timer and that ship will be unavailable until the NPC pilot has returned. Can generate "passive" income for FC owners. Risk would be if ship is damnaged while on missions owner needs to pay repair. No affect on BGS simply to engage the CMDR in fleet management.

Sorry if this suggestion has been made before:

- You train NPC fighter pilots up to (for example) elite level, and can "sell" them in your Fleet Carrier.

Regards.

It could be nice to be able to TEAM and SHARE team missions with NPC crew. So once you completed a part of mission yourself the rest can be (eventually) done by your NPC (or failed with all the consequences). So you:
  1. took a cargo transport of 5000t of water to another system
  2. completed 400t by yourself (so got a market details needed)
  3. then shared that mission with your crew assigned to the ship
  4. while you are online that crew will try to complete the mission (making necessary number of trips)
  5. you can help him, or protect from pirates, or do completely independent activity at the same time
The other players and other NPC can see your crew as NPC in supercruise and normal space and attempt to interact.
