Edit Crews And Assign Them On Other Ships

[dq1410]

I hope in the next update we can edit the crews, at least their weapon and spacesuit. Also, we can assign them to other ships so they could assist us as a fleet in space. I mean why do they have piloting trait if they can't pilot another ship

You can already give them weapons and space suits and clothing to wear.

Yeah and I hope we will get a confirmation request when editing binds in the menu, like all the other games had since 2000, wishful thinking xDDDDD

You can give them weapons and spacesuits and clothes. All of my crew is custom fitted.

I do agree it would be cool to be able to assign them to other ships that you own and have actual "wingmen" flying with you.

Do you have a guide for that ?XD

Just make sure to equip their gear after giving them stuff.

No guide is needed, it's pretty easy.

Just talk to them, select the dialogue option indicating that you want to trade, and then give them what you want them to use through the trade menu.

Once they have it, view it in their inventory (still in the trade menu) and tell them what to equip. The hotkey for telling to equip things is shown in the lower right. For me it is "F" but I may have rebound it.

Note that it will show YOUR character on the equip screen, but they will be the ones that actually equip it if you are in their inventory. Also note that for weapons, you do need to provide them with the proper ammo. They don't actually use the ammo, but they need it in their inventory or they won't use the gun.

Trade it to them. Equip it to them (see bottom of screen for keys/buttons) then give them 1 bullet if ammo for whatever weapon.
They also benefit from whatever is on the space suit. So if they are wearing armor or clothing with certain perks they benefit from them.

UC vanguard piloting exam alrdy spawns some assistants...so it's not like it isn't alrdy programmed in...and why have 10 ships if you can only always fly 1? let us have 1 or 2 friendly ships with all our crew members!!!

The process is the same for both.

It's not like there is any generic "crew" that doesn't have a name. There are some crew that are just crew though, which cannot be used as following companions. Lin is an example of that. She is still given equipment the same way as any other follower.

I have edited all my crews weapons and apparel. I put Barret in the Syndicate Capo Suit just to show you it could be done. He also has an upgraded, fully-auto weapon. Don't remember which one, but he has been customized:

Ah, I haven't hired any of those. I actually forgot there was some crew that didn't have a name (as you can see in my edit above).

As it is, there's way more named crew than I need.

You can probably still give them equiopment and have them use it though. Just you'd have to use the console command "Openactorcontainer 1" to get to that interface, if they don't have the dialogue option.
