So was having a discussion about the perma-death feature of the game and how our beneficiaries will become our new character. I had then mentioned about being able to have a second account and make that character into an NPC that can be used as a crew member and that you could also make that second account/character your beneficiary. So it hit me then that if I die with one account i'll still always have a "new" character but that account will stay alive infinitely. If I name my second account the beneficiary then when he dies his beneficiary will carry on infinitely. BUT I will have gone from two accounts/characters to only having one. So if we are running multiple packages to have extras for crew then we need to make sure not to name our own characters as beneficiary or we will effectively lose that account upon death and will be merged into our second, leaving only one.
Thoughts? What am I missing here? I had planned on just keeping it all within the "family" so to speak and pass belongings to the next crew member (my npc second account).
