In the case of accounts with more than one game package, will there be a benefit of using one of your characters as a crewman instead of other NPCs? For instance, will your character's wage/upkeep cost be lower than other NPC crewmen?asked by Kal_Allusis

The way we've been thinking about using other characters is less about a lower wage, we don't want to give people free people to crew all this stuff, but more about having control over what a character looks like etc. If I have 5 game packages I can create a crew that look/named just like I want them to, whereas NPCs you can't. Once you have them together, you can play any one of those characters in a game session, it allows you to pick and choose who you want to play, and what they look like etc. You could probably designate them as successors to each other as well, or some of your friends could take them over and play them in a co-op mission as well.
