If I create an NPC on a ship that is owned by my faction, (from the days where you could do that) can I get it off that ship and on to one owned by me? I have ownership of the NPC, but can I add it to my party and move it around?

Thanks peeps,

Yah, Last time i looked you could.

Cheers.
Oh, one more question:
When you enter a building and 'hire' an NPC, does it stay with you forever and you own it or does it leave after a period of time/or when you leave the planet?

Thanks

It's just the new way of buying NPCs. It stays yours, just like if you'd bought an NPC the old way.

Wow. That's fairly nifty. Well done to whoever programmed that. (If you're up there)

a question from me. I have an NPC with a good trading skill. how does this affect my fac income if the NPC is in my party?

Also one more. how do NPC's gain XP? Is it by walking etc?

It is only the facility operator's trading skill that affects facility income. NPCs and other party members have no effect on that.

NPCs do not yet gain XP, but they will in the future.

On that note, could you assign one of your NPCs as an operator? Not necessarily advocating this, but that would be an interesting twist.

No, you can only assign facilities to players and factions.
