Description
NPC Pilots can be hired to pilot your ships, trading between Stock Markets. You can hire several.
The NPC is a chatbot, with limited vocabulary and AI. They are currently being educated by R & D, and will be more socially able in future updates.
They can be found at any colony, on the top floor of the Entertainment Complex.
They do not travel between solar systems unless they are gated systems at this time.
Instructions
To get to them Land in the Landing Bay, disembark, and use the Transport Grid to travel to the Entertainment Complex. There is a door at the bottom of the Entertainment Complex with an elevator inside.
To hire one, enter these words:
You: "I want to hire you."
NPC: "Are you trying to hire me?"
You: "yes"
NPC: "What do you want to hire me to do?"
You: "Fly ship.
NPC: "Ok. I'll make my way to your ship I guess, and you can take me to the one you want me to fly."
After that, you can assign them to a ship by:
- Fly to a station where you have an extra ship, or have purchased a new ship.
- Use the Manage Ship button and you will have a "Crew" and "Pilot" button.
- Click Crew. Assign the NPC to the ship.
- Click Pilot. Give the pilot a command.
Trading
"trade between <basename> <systemname> and <basename> <systemname>."
* Use underscores instead of spaces in each name to prevent language filter errors. * The AI thinks "Black Hell" is "Black Hello" with a typeo. But "Black_Hell" works.
me: "trade between MG Albrat and caprica"
npc: "trade route between MG Albrat and Caprica?"
me:"yes"
npc: "ok, that's now my trade route!"
To Clear Orders
Me:"stop"
NPC:"ok, clearing my orders."
Trivia
When the Pilots were in Beta, one of them, a Rhes Spangler, stole countless ships and made off with them. The last person to see him was gotpurplefleas, who reported that Rhes was tunneling into a planet.
