I think you should add NPC like crew mates and what not so we can be more immersed and make little custom chapters and stories

This is a neat idea. I agree the game needs more in depth NPC behavior (persistence, areas around factional type bases with patrols, mining, shipping). I think there's a bit there now, but it's hard to know where anything is and mostly feels pretty empty.
There is already a mod for NPCs that don't move that you can put in your control area for larger ships. They also improve systems functionality:

Here's a script that you can use to get kind of a wingman drone (I'd like more commands to give it, maybe one of these days I'll learn to script for this game - really only need to learn more about the API as I'm already well versed in C#):

On ship formations - if you want to get more advanced to have squadrons you direct to coords from afar, here's a script:

Here's one with a GUI that gets put on a screen in game that you then interact with to command the ships, the range is relatively short if I remember correctly though :( It's called RDav's Fleet Command MKIII:

Other than that, PAM Autominer script does really well for making drone ships that automine.
I think NPCs should be a combination of spawning/encounter system and actual persistant characters/ships. Having NPC teammates would be pretty awesome, but would also be quite a chore to code up for the game.
