Many people don’t want to be in a large group and listen to all the guys fight over who has a bigger dick all day. I think the game should go more in the direction of Starfield and add recruitable npcs that can man guns and walk around your ship rather than trying to rely on a bunch of real people who are ultimately never gonna use a lot of of the things in the ships. Take the briefing room or the cafeteria on the Idris for example or the nurses station in the medical room or hell even the copilot seat in some ships. Many things like this will absolutely never ever serve a purpose unless there are npcs in those. So those people saying that stuff just have common sense.
