(PSN)SlyFox5679 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 so with corpus railjack and command intrinsic coming soon how is it going to work exactly with if you want one of the NPC's you hire to pilot your railjack ? if thats even an option will the NPC pilot your ship to objectives only or will it try to gather resources for you or what ? further more will it be able to control your forward artillary and blow up crewships for you ? would you be able to send the NPC's to board crewships or galleons ? the only things i can think of atm is if they use the side guns would be pretty simple just point and shoot and engineering they would go by a certain percentage when to pop a forge for resupply.

MollAgdeduba Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Well.. to avoid disappointment i just tell myself they probably will be like specter; following you doing nothing for all the mission, same AI of "Pac-man ghost", same damage of lvl 1 pobber, and if you want to give them a task you should go to the menù and manually tell them to do things, cause do useful things automatically is too much complicated. The things they could do of course will be extremely basilar: repair, attack boarders and use the lateral guns. Maybe you could sent them to the foundry to do something... but i'm not completely sure they'll implement somenthing too useful. This is what i think command will do. I hope this "crew" will be really useful and not just a dumb bot trolling around.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When other payers just make it harder, it's easier solo :P I see now that you already mentioned solo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put a specter on repair duty, will they try to patch every hole? Or would you be able to tell it what type of hazards to ignore? If you put a specter on forge duty, will they wait until you've used 2 dome charges? (or 8 rockets? or 150 revolite?) Or will they forge more of a consumable whenever it's not at max, wasting tons of resources? While I am looking forward to seeing what the command intrinsic turns out to be, I suspect it might take DE several updates before it becomes fully usable. I really hope to be proven wrong here though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMostFrench Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 It's definitely going to be...interesting. There is so much to consider - I know that from the start you only get one crew member, and need to upgrade Command to get more. Maybe crew members won't actually know how to repair breaches or use the forge from the beginning? Level 10 Command might be that they can fly the Railjack for you. but I wonder what other upgrades we will get? There will be a whole new section dedicated to managing and customising your crew which DE showed in a preview not long ago, so crew members might have their own stats like 'engineer', 'pilot', 'gunner', and then you can level them up individually to be able to handle different things e.g engineers learn to fix 'fires, breaches, catastrophic failures' but gunners learn to use 'turrets, munitions, artillery'. So you might have a crew with no engineers, but there are always people on the guns, or the opposite where there are engineers (but if they have nothing to do they might just guard the ship from boarders or try to use side guns). I'm not expecting it to work perfectly on release, but I'm glad they're doing it, because they said they would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought i heard that DE mentioned maybe using liches as crew on railjack as well which could be good but we'll have to see about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
