Guard Stations selling Pilots

[Narcotic]

What about Guard stations selling Pilots?
(Which can currently only be obtained by shooting NPCs.)

For example;
Stations in Virginia selling Navy Pilots.
Stations in Braunschweig selling Military Pilots.
Stations in Omicron-85 selling Outcast Pilots.

I think the only Guard Station which already sells Pilots is Corinth Research Station in Omicron-74.
It won't be that hard to make it possible for all Guard Stations to sell their Pilots?! With doubled prices maybe?

Would be cool if it'd be possible.

(Same goes for Fleet Admirals, Cruiser Commanders, Gunboat Captains, Pirate Pilots, Civlian Pilots...)

What do you say? Is it worth the effort?

I think one of the few Hellfire bases sell Lane Hacker pilots. Outdated stuff must go.

Ya, would be pretty cool.

Especially if they could sell the cruiser commanders and etc. Would open up a bit more RP for cap ships.

Also, so that they wouldn't be traded and gathered in mass numbers, the cruiser commanders and etc should sell for 0 or something.

The next NPC patrol demands it. If you don't drop it, you get red. great RP.

We make the rules, you follow them.

For that reason, I'd make the buy cost 2x than the sell price.

Not if you've got Navy IFF.
(When speaking of Liberty Cruiser Commands. There are different ones for each house of course.)

True. Only Airdrie and Cochrane should sell those.

Anyways, there would be a lot of problems with the NPCs, but as RP tool, it will get handy for sure.
Also, imaginating trade runs for military with pilots.

That's actually a bug which kinda needs to be solved. To prevent the following:
- Junker liner docks with that guard base, loads up on pilots.
- Junker docks with Sugarland and unloads. Ch-ching!

Kinda oorp that. Pilots aren't for sale, they're a small bonus that you get from blowing up NPCs, which can be cached in for extra credits at specific locations. They're not meant as an actual trade commodity.

What about adding pilots as equipment for ships bigger than a fighter, which would give an other multiplier for powercore (between 0.5 and 1, as an alternate for efficiency coming with crew) and which could be lost upon every blowup like bots/bats? Just a quick thought.

Why would a base sell their own pilots into slavery? That makes no sense at all.

Spaceship Crew is there for an RP device if you want crew.

The Lane Hackers always had a buypoint for their pilots, so they can buy one to have it on their ship as RPing tool. (For official LH~ that is)
