Will we be able to see our alternative character slot NPCs in our hangar as a living breathing entity, not just a character slot we can customize?asked by Failscalator
TL;DRYes, Roberts says customizable NPC crew members would appear in your hangar or ship doing idle behaviors and maybe generic conversation, though it's challenging and they'll try to give them personality.
Yes, so uh, I think you're talking about the character where we've talked about, if you have multiple game packages you can sort of change one of the packages into a "customize-able NPC" for you to have on your crew, as opposed to a generic one you would hire. And yes, you would definitely have them as a character hanging out in your ship, or you "pad" as it were - like a hangar or something. So if you basically put together your crew - think of it like Serenity or something - you would see the hanging out, goofing off, doing their various idle states, and you go off and fly, and they're doing the same on the ship. So yes, they would be NPC characters going about... you know, maybe they would have some generic conversational lines. I mean that, to a certain extent will be fairly challenging, because there will be a lot of different potential NPCs and characters, but we'll try out best to make sure they're all-... they have some sense of personality and are kind of fun.
