If I hire a few NPCs to crew my Retaliator, will they have a day-night cycle on the ship? Will I need to do a crew rotation, so that after an hour or two of real-time, I'll need to assign members to the "off-duty" crew station so that they can recharge up to 100% effectiveness through resting, eating and sleeping?asked by Zan Caelo

I would say so, we're planning on having a day/night cycle for SQ42, so you'll be on a big capital ship, so I don't see why we wouldn't extend that system to the PU. So on some level you'll have to manage your crew in that way, but that'd only really affect really long journeys because most of the time it's not necessarily be quite as long, and you'd be near the planet before everybody needed to sleep. But I guess for those longer trips, it's one of the reasons we have beds on the ships, besides the ability to save your game while you're out in space. So there you go!
