Will you always have to take 3 BO's?

I just realized that in almost all the more recent screens the player has been with their 4 BO's on the ground, I was wandering if anyone has any knowledge on if you will be able to take just 1 or 2 specific ones or just go alone if you want to go somewhere like quark's bar etc.

for "away missions" I think you have to take upto 4-5 people (Player and Bo's if solo, or buncha players)

[TruthSeer]

On missions you will be taking 4 BOs if soloing (the team will always [as far as we know] be 5).

We don't have any idea about when we are in social hubs, though my guess is we probably won't have any with us because that could make places really crowded really quick.

thanks for the info, but I guess it's just one of those thing we won't know until open beta.

Well from the look of the Starbase One Video, it looks like you don't have to always have a BO trailing you.

Indeed, in the video that visits Starbase 1 there is just the player character. It is a 'social hub', not a mission, & thus you go there alone. Your BO's are busy re outfitting your ship :cool:

Think of Guild Wars, if you have your Heroes in your team in the instanced world they are visible. When in one of the hubs they are not visible.
