Stevedores - Expanding the role of NPCs

[TrevorJD 117]

I think it would be very cool to be able to take a few NPCs off my guns when in port and have them unload my cargo chests into chests or a resource box on shore. Orionsun's Transfer Gun could be repackaged as a Bosun's Whistle and used to select an NPC, a source chest and a destination chest. The NPC would then walk back and forth between the two carrying a "75% of level 1 player" carry weight of goods, per trip.

Interesting idea.  I like it.  So long as it’s not some instant transfer, and takes some time to completely empty your stores. 

As a builder, I would like to be able to add merchants/bar maids/tavern keeps as well.  Maybe even guys just standing or sitting around town too.  Try to liven up our outpost a little. Would allow the devs reason to add more clothing options to the tannery and loom too.
