Any chance anyone roughly know or have seen an article talking about how much uec it’s going to cost to have an npc crew? Only asking on here cause I tried to look it up and didn’t find anything but saying that I am a google mong so there probably loads on it lol, hoping it’s not a lot so the people I normally play star cit with can just sit in the holding bay and play games on there mobi glass while I try get us somewhere safe cause they are absolute liability’s when it comes to any role whatsoever in the ship, the guy with his porridge is unrelated
Another stupid question

They haven't nailed that kind of cost down yet.
This is, of course, my plan as well. I've asked in a couple different places as to the feasibility of an NPC-run ship, but the responses were all basically "We have no idea yet; ask us when we're not busy doing other things".
Ideally, of course, we'll be able to have NPC crews do milk runs for us while we go off and do fun stuff. Like, tell your starfarer to go refine some fuel while you explore the galaxy in your carrack, or whatnot, and then the starfarer can either sell it or bring it to you. That way you dont have to worry about making money, you can just have it happen in the background. Or, if you wanted to worry about it, you could optimize the hell out of it with spreadsheets and all that, and rake in the dough. Either way, you have fun.

Hope not that much... but who knows... ps not a dumb question
There is no such thing as a stupid question about SC.
Chris Roberts has not decided yet & stated that will be determined later after the economy is balanced.
It will be minimal & affordable however.

That would be ideal being able to get npcs do jobs for me while I try and babysit my idiot mates lol
I hope it's not too much or I'll be screwed trying to do anything with my mates lol
That's good then, won't have to rely on other people waiting for them then come on and what not
we've been told costs will vary with the NPCs' skills
the downside of an NPC crew, AFAIK, is that you will have to pay them a salary whether you're using them or not
or, lay them off and have to hire from the pool again for each outing
so no gadding about racing your 350R while your NPCs sit idle
having a large ship with an NPC crew will be quite the commitment

What this wise man says
That also is very true
Double true
a little suggestion, multi quote works fine :wink:

I honestly cannot remember where I got it from, but I seem to rerecall saying it "could" be as much as 20-30% of your total haul if you for instance fly a 'Tali on a full cargo run, and have 5 NPC turret gunners, or rent out AI possibly for the 5 turrents for a period of time, or buy the AI, but overall there were no decisions made, just ideas being thrown around
The only thing everyone talking seemed to agree on was that it would be a sizeable chunk of your profit if you want bots taking the place of people and doing a decent job at all

Would that be the same price for escort missions, if it is I’ve fucked it getting the hammerhead lol

I hear you, Whi7key. I definitely agree with whatever point you were trying to make.

NPC pay scheme will not be determined until sometime well after mission pay stops being completely revamped and cargo pricing is finally established.
