Silly question. For those that got an NPC pilot through backing, is it possible for us to 'force' them to spawn for us?
Secodary to that, is it possible for us to add our own 'voice' lines to those NPCs? Maybe by sending out a new survey? I dont know how feaseable that is, of course, no idea how KS/BackerKit work on the dev side
Either way, super hyped to see this gotten so far

The best way would be to make a custom OpFor and add a pilot there – that way you have full control of everything about them.
We have a “good ideas we don’t want to lose” ticket sitting in the backlog along the lines of your idea – getting both a pilot portrait and bark lines from backers as an additional survey – but so far haven’t had the time to put it together and can’t say for sure we ever will. It was a significant time sink to even just scan all the callsigns to vet them (removing direct references to politicians/other IP), so barks would be a significant job to do the same. Even though I suppose it’s likely we’d get way fewer submissions…
Understandable. Sure, you could prob plop a text file into an LLM and have that automate the bulk of it. Or if you dislike AI in any form (respect), crowdsourcing platforms exist. Either way, I do hope you find a way that wont overburden you. It would be cool, but I also get it if its too much of a PITA
