NPC Crew members/vendors that can be hired for your ship

maybe the chucklefish team could have some random NPCs that you could hire for your ship to gain bonusesfrom them or have a few vendors who would be willing to go aboard your ship.

Great idea. The more you can customise absolutely everything around you, the more personalised the game feels, the more immersed I get, and the more hours of my life will be spent glued to the computer.

 

you say that like it's a bad thing

 

Correction: you interpret that like it's a bad thing.

 

I want my soul.... To create everything around to to have the universe to revolve around me and to be at my whim! MUWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA..... actually can I just make something beautiful for people to enjoy? Why do I have to be evil ALL the time it's just EXHAUSTING.... Sometimes I just wanna give a girl a flower ya know and ask if she wants to see my Dark abyss of doom or something. PERSONALIZE THE WORLD WITH SOUL!... I agree... more npcs and minions the less Alone I am in the dark :'(

 

You sound like you need a cookie.

 

While I'm voting this up, it occurs to me that if I were on the dev team considering different suggestions to add to the game, I'd be far more inclined to add them if the ground work was already done to some extent.

For example:
Perhaps certain vendors could be paid to join your crew and always be available on your ship. Or perhaps you have to complete a set of quests for them? This would be added to the existing NPCs that spawn on planets already, so they would simply be added to your ship and not need to be generated or created in some special way.

Additional thoughts on this idea:
Crew members that could improve the accuracy or amount of information you can get on the planet you are orbiting, such as commenting on it with things like "that looks pretty cold down there, and rather cavernous...hope you have some warm clothes and a grappling hook." or "There are a lot of monsters running around on the surface that will chase you down."
Perhaps the crew members have living requirements, like a certain amount of space with certain decorations within that space (in other words, personal living quarters).
