Using more than 1 ship at a time

This may be a stupid question, I have searched but could not find any thing, you can own more than 1 ship, you can have wing men or if you want some thing better than men wing girls.

There are NPC all over, so can you hire an NPC to fly one of your own ships, if so do they have to be wing people, or can you start a company sort of and have some trading while others guard them ?

Thank you leona

Not at the moment, but these ideas and others along those lines were talked about in the design stage. We just have to wait and cross our fingers.

No question is stupid - answers may be!

At the moments you can opnly have player wings - there has been discussion over non player wings joining you but I think they would be in their own ship rather than yours
.
Also unused yet are a number of crew seats (see cobra upwards basically) - who sits in them player crew or NPC crew? don't know

Click to expand...

hopefully one day, but not yet. First we need the ability to move a ship from station to station without flying it yourself. I imagine this will all come after we are walking around the station and our ships, so we can walk to the bar to hire the NPC ;)

Whilst you can own many ships, you can only pilot one ship at a time. All your other ships remain docked where you left them.

As for wings, you can forms wings with other Commanders (human players), not with the AI ships.

Also, there is no business type affiliation model in the game, but you can align with one or more (currently) factions in the simulated galaxy, more on that to come in the upcoming 1.3 update.

nice question...., but i think.... now is not the time.

dont get me wrong, i think there are circumstances where it might work,

like for instance, if at some point in the future it were possible to buy a capital class ship,
something that was capable of storing your whole fleet, then the idea of having a few cobra's
which you could let crew member's use, as long as they return them back to the base ship
might work out. lets face it, if you can afford a capital class ship,
then you can afford have a coupla cobra's blown up.

but as it stands now, i wouldnt want someone using one of my ships
unless they were as competant a pilot, or i knew that they would respect the fact that
the ship belongs to me, and they should treat it as if it were their pride and joy.

so i reckon when the game scales up, but maybe not a good idea as things are now.

David Braben has confirmed at some point in the future we will be able to dock Sidewinders in Anacondas.
It doesn't look like this will be in the near future however.
