Guests

Guests are survivors rescued from derelict ships and stations. They keep their own faction, and they eat, sleep and socialise alongside your crew - but they never take a work order.

Living guests are listed in their own Guests group in the beings list at the top of the screen - separate from your crew.

To send a guest home, hail a ship or space station belonging to their faction and choose Send Beings. Their people will come collect everyone of that faction currently aboard your ship, pay you for each person returned, and their attitude towards you will improve.

This requires a working Trade Portal, and only picks up guests who are not tied to a delivery quest.

If a guest's own faction raids your ship, they will defect and fight alongside the attackers.

Guests left behind on a derelict when you hyperjump away are gone for good.
