You can kick him from the ship as OP says.
Dunno, I sort miss buying a new shiny Asp, the sitting on my bum for what feels like hours while waiting for the missing NPC crewmembers to be available. Will that be a feature of Elite Dangerous as it was of Frontier - First Encounters?
Otherwise, looking forward to the beta test and the update!

That's such a good point and really crystallizes some of my own concern.
Player teleportation fundamentally would change the tone and feel of the game entirely [sad]
That sort of thing is so difficult to pin down in terms of circumscribed game mechanics, or features, or assets, and yet the intangible feel of a game, or any media really, can be the difference between it feeling somehow more than the sum total of it's parts & awe-inspiringly vast, and it being a sugar rush arcade game.
Please rethink teleportation FD!
It changes the nature of your game entirely.
Also will NPC ships have the possibility of being Multi-crewed? .. that would be bad
Ed said earlier that the AI will not have access to multi-crew.
Give us another bone FDev. What else do you have in the bag planned for v2.3? Obviously, multi-crew appears to be the ugly bride of this upcoming release per many expectations here; though, can u give us something coming that we will all love/enjoy...even if its a touch of spice?! I for one hope for further enhancements of station interiors to include moving avatars/people. Basically, "life" inside the station other than plants and the car traffic driving around the loop.
Magic Instant ship transfer with pilot inside it? that would be horrible in my opinion.
Small ships are great , I love them. I dont like the big ones , the biggest ship I ever fly outside of trading is a FDL and from time to time I fly a eagle.
You can own anything with good skill.
However I do think smaller ships should get a few buffs that help them against the bigger ships (such as more speed)
Is just not the same. What are you supposed to do when you are trying to fill your ship with crewmembers, just wait in a station? what if you already have another member, but the third one is coming, should the two players wait? When you are in a wing you have full independence. You can play the game as freely as you want while you wait for the rest to meet you. In other words, wings don't limit your game in any way. But with multicrew is different. If you make it so that you need to meet, you limit your playtime to just waiting.
Also, what is being transferred in this case is only the avatar, not the ship. Once the crew is disbanded, you are back where you were on your ship. Instant transfer of ships for wings would totally brake the game. It would make the size of the galaxy meaningless!
This point is crucial when you have a full time job and/or a family. Try to make different schedule and timezones coincide. On another hand, I don't think "fair" is the right word. How can this difference be unfair? However, I do hope that, if legs arrive, then there will be a wait to multicrew the hardcore way.

well at least that's something ..
I think with this there's a spectrum of players and to be honest I think this is the best COMPROMISE, both from an accessiblity point of view which enables gameplay, and a technical implementation point of view, where putting such barriers in place actually requires more work.
Some people want players to have to pick up and drop off at stations, others want agent smithing into other bodies, others just want to join and leave with no restrictions.
You are not going to please everyone but I think that this is fine, that dropping in/out on a whim is easily overlooked for the sake of gameplay just as the player insta-respawning many LY away on death is overlooked.

Thats never going to happen.
FD could fix all the bugs and cure cancer and many will be against it.
I like the sound of this update outside of magic teleportation and the lack of engineer role to control pipe and so on. but it sounds like this is going to be a very cool addition that might change the world for those who fly in the larger ships. and I can even see special multi-crew loadouts being present.
Potential improvement to the external camera. A full 360 degree 3rd person-like camera if they decide to pass it on to everyone.
Other than that consider yourself lucky that you have no stake in what happens in Open. I think you'll be getting more visitors in Solo soon [yesnod]

Can't wait for those live streams.
In elite lore there is no teleportation or anything like that.
Is not a full description of 2.3. Is just about the two already known headline features of it, about which you already knew when buying Horizons. You can consider 2.3 something for everyone though, including solo. And it was announced the addition of a new camera to actually see yourself.
