Crew missions?

[Narcolypse204]

Does anyone think it would cool that once you have multiple ships that you could fill the spare ships with crews and send them out to complete side missions? Kind of like the Caed Nua missions from Pillars 1. They could bring back items and supplies (food/drink/other random items) as well as gain sailor experience. It would be kind of cool to put your spare ships and sailors to work and do something productive while you tackle the main content.

 

I haven't played since launch so forgive me if they have already done something like this.
