I brought a brawler NPC onto a cloudcar. I couldn't fight with her in the cockpit, but I could in the side room. (got a message that nothing was in range when I scanned). I then tried removing her from my party in the cockpit to see if that was somehow the issue. I still get the message that nothing is in range to scan and now I can't add her back to my party. The NPC does still show up on the crewlist as a current passenger. Could someone help me out with this?

Can you confirm from your NPC-inventory that that NPC is at the same position as you?

Only one person fits into the cockpit of a vehicle.

You'll have to do everything in the entrance. That's where it all happens.

Ok, thanks Casedevo. I guess she got kicked when I entered the cockpit and was in the second room. All is again right with the world.
