Mostly solo player with a huge ship - dilemma

[EpilepticCricket]

NPCs should be able to do any job a player can do, so they make that 90% of the 'verse believable. Given enough UEC, I hope we'll be able to hire a competent NPC crew. We'll have to wait and see!

Yeah, the real question there is whether or not NPCs will be as proportionately profitable as players are. If the AI just isn't up to par then the risk of losing money/time/your ship is much greater. If cap ships are as hard to manage as CIG implies, you might have to get a few people on board to cover the most critical roles.

Maybe not a bet more a donation to see Blind Owl pervert the AI's subroutines.

A worthy cause to be sure!

If you use the Endeavor to grow spaceweed (Cosmibis), then all the friends you'll ever need will find YOU. I mean....nobody onboard, including the navigator, will know where the hell you're headed; but it will be a fun ride!

Trust me mate, if you won't be using it, you got plenty of org mates that need to brew some booze. Park my 890 Jump next to it and we got a party.

NPC that crew.

I won't be able to get all the modules, but I've saved up for the Medical Bay + Landing Bay. If they make the modules available for more than 1 day during the Anniversary Sale, I'll get buybacks for more of them.
My top configurations for the Endeavor are as follows:
1. Hope (Medical + Landing Bay)
2. Discovery (full on science - GRP, GSP, Crew) - this is the one that's supposed to make drugs, btw.
3. Supercollider

Which module is needed for distilleries?

The recent post (https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/engineering/16185-The-Shipyard-Turrets) had great info, we should perhaps start a thread dedicated to this and update as necessary. In particular, they distinguish between NPC and AI controlled turrets, stating:

AI vs NPC vs Point Defense Turrets
Any turret can be controlled via an NPC acting as player, but AI or Autonomous Control is a separate function requiring a blade to be added to your computer item (formerly Avionics Module).

For each turret you wish to be AI controlled i.e. it engages and tracks independently of player or NPC input, you need to have a Blade equipped for that. Ships that come with these types of turrets either have these blades already installed or additional computer items to hold them in, as blade space is restricted. This is designed to force players into choosing between adding this feature or other blade features when customizing your ship.

Point Defense Turrets are simply AI controlled turrets with the computer and blades necessary, and with a specific weapon loadout intended to make them effective at neutralizing incoming fast threats like missiles or torpedoes. Any turret can be equipped with these particular weapons and computer blades. PDTs just come ready to go out of the box.

So, we will definitely have options, live crew, NPC, and even AI!

As I understand it, NPCs will be physical humanoids (like the players, but scripted/subsumption-ed), and AI controlled turrets will act on their own - without someone (be it a player or an NPC) standing there.
Think of NPCs as, well... traditional NPCs and AI controlled like an auto-turret, for example.

EDIT: I am incoherent. Some turrets will require a player or an NPC to physically use them, other turrets will be automated (no need for a player or NPC).

One good thing about NPCs they gain experience through time making them more efficient.

Finally, a viable NPC solution that even allows me to get those two strokes off my golf game!
