Hi, I hired a freighter pilot in the hall of a starport. Then I command him to board a one seat fighter, but I forgot to create a squad. So now that I can't command the NPC pilot,
is there a way to get him unboard so I could create a squad ant then he'll follow me , each in his fighter ?
The only solution I see atm is to get a capital ship/freighter with a docking bay and move the 2 fighters on; but I don't have a such ship atm.
NPC pilots don't actually fly anything, all you need to do is board another fighter (not sure if it has to be the same type, or can just be any fighter) go to the Ship Inventory and the Piloted Tab and select the other fighters (the ones you are not in) and go to the DropDown menu at the bottom of the page and select [Set Controller] and click on the (Set NPC Controlled) button before hitting [Process]
You cannot create a squad before you get into a ship. However once you get to the other side, you will currently need ASim assistance to get the pilot out of hte fighter.
