My still trying to drag and drop was the problem, thank you Kay for putting me straight. :)

Found it helpful

Very helpful, thanks

I wasn't able to figure out creating a fit out so I manually equipped my npc one at a time. The most going to try this now. Thank you

Is it possible to equip civil NPCs (like builders or workers) with armor / weapons and take them hunting?

Yes but their skills aren't as good for it.

Thank you, Syn. It works for me.

Noob Question here but is there any chance you can get a refund for NPC's? I kinda rushed in and wasted my CP as soon as I could...

I've never known there to be refunds of CP, so very probably there is no chance.

Good news though: CP daily rewards give you CP just for logging in consistently.(See Sim news) Just log in daily - ie at least once every 48hrs basically... to get a reward. It escalates in reward up to 7 days where you get 310CP a pop. 2,170 CP per week is pretty darn good.

thank you very much for your help
--- now their all equiped with rifles and cheep armour (golden bikni's)
-Huumans have such strange idea's about armour for slaves oops i mean workers
example a male gamorrean in a golden bikni is just eewww
-------again thank you for all your help and advice

I was wondering how to hire an NPC in the first place? If anyone could help that would be great!

On these pages, you can view the available types of military and civil NPCs:

http://www.swcombine.com/rules/?Civil_NPCs

http://www.swcombine.com/rules/?Military_NPCs

Under the "Locations" section is a list of where NPCs of that type may be hired. Once you are in one of those facilities, go to Actions -> Hire NPCs, and select the number and gender of each type you want to hire.

I agree with Mark Smith, I also looked on the guide and I and get my npcs equiped
