[Request] Loitering

[morbideth]

A simple idea to make stations feel more alive. Whenever a ship is docked at a station, some percentage of the crew show up walking around the dock/station. Doing it for the player faction shouldn't be too hard, but for the others you would need to color them so they would not be confused with the NPCs for hire. Having them vanish when the ship takes off might be a bit disconcerting, but I'm not sure how to fix that.

They already do that. I have seen my ship crew at stations sometimes.

They have their text labels colored green instead of blue.

Not very common though. I guess if someone could increase the percentage or number of loiterers

They may do that, I dont know...but if I go to the traders and do some business and come back and go back out, my crew had better be on board, thats all I'm saying. loitering is something done on your own time or days off not during business hours. If I hire marines and go cap a ship and there are none to pilot it then I'm going to get a bit testy about it.
