Help Kraz Cybernetics, Deep Sky, and Syndicate Systems produce their artificial crew offerings.
Maybe you're more comfortable in the company of robots than people. Maybe you just like the idea of being a solo captain. Or maybe you just don't like writing paychecks. Whatever your reasons, you want some artificial crew members, and the mission lines to enable them. This plugin delivers.
First, acquire Endless Sky (this is left as an exercise for the reader). The plugin is designed for 0.9.17 (that's the current "continuous build" version), but will be okay in the current stable version (0.9.16.1) -- all quests will work, but at least one of the outfits won't have all the intended benefits.
Acquire the plugin (click on the "Code" button above and either clone the repo or download the zip). Then, install the plugin (see this page from the ES wiki for information). Finally, play Endless Sky with the plugin.
Well, nothing is actually going to be different until you pick up a quest or two. Some companies have been working on artificial crew projects, and might need help finishing them -- I recommend hanging around parts of the galaxy associated with those companies.
This plugin is by no means complete, and work continues on things like:

Alright, so "hang around in parts of the galaxy" isn't enough of a hint. I get it. Here's some slightly more spoiler-y hints on how to get started:
Also: if you start a company quest, and then fail or abort it, these products will still show up. It's just going to take much longer since you weren't able to help them out.
