We’ve added a few moments in conversations where you can ask them to speak for you.
For example, you are traveling with a companion and someone gets in your way. They tell you that you can’t come here, but you can turn to a partner and say: “Listen, can you work this out?” He will talk for you, and what he says will lead to good or bad consequences.
Of course, there will be everything that you used to expect from satellites. They will protect you, you will be able to exchange equipment with them, they will be part of the crew of your ship.
