NPC Pilots (non-player characters) can be hired as [[:Category:Crew|crew]] to operate remotely-piloted [[Ship-Launched Fighters]], or the player's [[Ships|ship]] while the player is operating the Ship-Launched Fighter. Pilots can be hired in the Crew Lounge available at many [[Station|stations]]. | |||
Each pilot has an initial hiring cost and is paid a profit share of all player earnings during their employment, both of which are based upon the pilot's combat [[Pilots Federation#Rank|rank]]. The profit share includes all profits from commodity [[Trader|trades]], selling [[Explorer|exploration]] data, completing [[Mission Board|missions]], and redeeming [[Bounty Voucher|bounty]] and [[Combat Bond Voucher|combat]] vouchers. | Each pilot has an initial hiring cost and is paid a profit share of all player earnings during their employment, both of which are based upon the pilot's combat [[Pilots Federation#Rank|rank]].
