"Training them is MUCH better than hiring them at rank." - why though? the amount of "profit share" (and XP!!) they claim (all the time!) mounts up so much, it does not seem worth it, ever (and if you train them you are putting yourself in a bind, atleast mentally, to keep them, always, and eat up your earnings, allways). Unless your entire gameplan revolves around having crewmembers 24/7...

... one more thing:

a partner also provides money to your business, by buying into it (new partner) or having set it up with you also. You don't pay anyone to become your partners; they pay YOU. You don't pay them: T H E Y P A Y Y O U !!

Do these NPCs pay for my equipment? - for the necessary purchases in the market? - for new ships, ammunition, weapons? - no, no, and again: no! They are not partners, they are employees. jeez, this is stupid...

"Think of it as like a retainer fee for a lawyer." - you got that all backwards

A fee is a set amount, that is tied to a certain deed; be that work by hour, or your fancy sticking-around-fee. Your lawyer may be entitled to all that (let's not debate rates here), all fair and good; but what your lawyer is not entitled to are shares of your entire income (not even profit. INCOME!), esp. since he does not share into your expenditures also.

You know who is entitled to part of your earnings? - a partner! - a real, full fleshed out partner, who shares into your entire business, your earnings, your expenditures, your liabilities. You know who isn't entitled to shares of your earnings? - everyone else! - every employee (which may or may not include lawyers btw.!), your freelance service providers (which may be the more common category for a lawyer) and your assistant, your delivery boy, your chaffeur, your mercenaries, etc.

It takes a special kind of moron (game designer) to get those two completely different concepts mixed up.

Those NPCs add nothing to my business. They don't give impulses, they don't provide me with additional business contacts, they don't haul in extra missions. All they do is fullfilling a specific task for me, a JOB, they deserve a salary, a fee... NOT A F***ING PROFIT SHARE.
