Suggestion for next update: Crew

[Unseelie]

I agree with nighthawk. People don't live in my hold. That's silly.

Interestingly, when you attack an npc cargoship, as you blow off the cargopods, (the hold) you don't get the pilot. You -do- get an amount equal to the cargospace of the player-ship from the cargopods. Then, additionally, you get a pilot. hmmm....hmmm? hmmm. Crew/pilots are -not- counted as part of the npc cargoholds.

I'd suggest, if anything like this is accepted, that rather than requiring anything, when a ship blows up, it drops a pilot of the correct faction for the ID. Ships already drop scrap and hull panels and engine bits.

But I -don't- suggest even that, because I don't want to leave a trail of my characters in space, at the mercy of whomever, whenever I die. I tend to pretend that I escape from every encounter.


I -would- like to see crew used as a commodity in high demand on shipyards. Sold on Planets...just another link on a vibrant human cargo chain.
