Will NPCs work for a player, even when the player will go offline? Or, can I hire NPCs to do missions(mining, hauling...) and myself is sitting in the hangar or bar waiting for the NPC to finish the mission by themselves?asked by Alan Parsons

I definitely don't think you will have NPCs doing stuff for you while you are offline, you probably would be able to hire some NPCs to go and do a mission while you're sitting planetside in a bar and say, 'here, I'll pay you this to deliver this cargo to this planet or this other player'. That definitely will happen, the game time will tick by while you're on the planet waiting for them to finish that mission and when they do, then it will happen. So, I guess you could run NPCs just from a static location if that's what you wanted to do, that's kind of how the design's set up.
