My understanding is that each character will be able to go through the Squadron 42 campaign and enter the persistent universe of Star Citizen afterwards. Will it be possible to have multiple characters play through Squadron 42 simultaneously, with NPCs controlling the extra characters?asked by Venator

Okay, so there are going to be a lot of questions about this stuff, so we'll try to be direct about the questions we're facing at a time. So you can't play multiplayer all the way through. It's a drop-in mechanic that we're going to be using. So what's going to happen is your friends, and not your NPC characters, but your friends can drop in and join you on a mission at any given time and be a wingman, but they're not going to be playing through the campaign, walking around the carrier with you or anything like that.
