Someone whacked him in the head!

But in all seriousness, who is on my spaceship? I have flown my Nighthawk for over a year now, and none of the crew have introduced themselves. When will walking in spaceships let me meet my crew?

Now with 100% less Troll.

And now you know why they say it's lonely at the top.

You make a valid point, good Sir or Madam.

The fact that you can kill 'em all with a single press of a button makes it wiser to not get to know them, I think.

Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you.

I'm pretty sure Tom Gerard flown spaceships run on skeleton crews. Which means no time to talk. P

My crew are better off not knowing what I look like.

Post with your monkey.

Thought so :(, you are like the guy thats got all the ship commands connected to your brain. Forever alone though :(
Would be fun to have at least exotic dancers/janitors/any sort of people tell you jokes in "local" when they are in the cargohold. (Slaver jokes would be quite......funny i'd think)

Now hold up, that doesn't hold water. Maybe if we were able to fly specialized Capsuleer ships that might be possible, but we're flying ordinary ships here; ships crewed by non-Capsuler pilots and crew when encountered as NPCs. To think that our pod does everything is a bit... far-fetched.

They're probable basic space-scum anyway. I mean, they're working on a ship for an immortal pilot who can and will send them to their deaths whilst he skips out in a pod, or at worst, wakes up in a comfy Med Center. And they have no say in the matter - you wanna suicide gank? The crew all die. Serial suicide ganker? Serial crew-killer.

Who, with any kind of real prospects, would sign on for that gig? I figure criminals, drunks and junkies, the pathetically unintelligent, and the pure plain gullible.

Not the sort of folks you want walking up and knocking on your capsule hatch.

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Capules are Jovian tech. Your argument is invalid.

Read the lore if you care.

Maybe it is like those crabfishermen in Alaska.

Very high risk, very high pay?

Not true. This is the case for frigates and potentially destroyers. Cruisers and up contain some crew, just at a reduced amount compared to a non-capsuler piloted ship of the same design.

I ran into some of your former crew in a dockside bar.
They all hate you.

Anonymous former crew #1: "He was a jerk, nobody liked him.

Anonymous former crew #2: "He never did figure out why there was always a bag of flaming poo on the steps in front of his pod when the ship docked up.

Anonymous former crew #3: "Yeah, he was really cheap when it came to the crew. I could hardly wait to get off that tub!
