I can't wait seeing all the cool stuff in the galaxy without having to do anything other than log on...

SC has the excuse of being in early Alpha to justify snaffu's such as multi-crew = God mode. ED no longer has that excuse.
Instant transfer:
I think it's a little too free form, I think I'd rather see it that commanders have to all berth at the same station or even just be in the same system to join a crew, and allow you to instantly rejoin your last crew if you disconnect and reconnect and the crew slot is still open for you (i can see this being a great thing to sign up for long exploration trips).
Death or eviction, yes I can live with that, but instantly teleporting seems a little open to abuse

Disclaimer: I was pro delayed ship transfer
In this case though I don't see gameplay issues besides immersion - and that can be achieved setting up meeting at certain stations anyway.
Multi crew will not last that long anyway (IMO) it'll be the CQC stepchild to Elite: Dangerous.
Ship Camera?
Can we have a role that can be a camera? View from limpets? That would be an awesome thing for community video content

Can we as Owners also move around to perform the other roles and even allow NPC to take over Helm?
Consider yourself lucky. The addition to a player in Open is getting rofl stomped by a God mode enabled immortality boat unless you're in one too and playing fiddle the pips.
Yay 2.3!

how about this:
Basically thought here is that console players do not have the benefits of PC such as VoiceAttack, HOTAS, and other addons that make ship control mgmt, frankly, a non-issue.
Also, given PC and consoles do not cross pollinate, it would allow the "stretched" reality on consoles, while PC would remain more true to "realistic" immersion.
- Telepresence = consoles (xbox and PS4)
- Station Only Meet-ups = PC

No, you're stuck in the helm role, you can't switch to gunner or slf chief.
Fine , so it should only work within 20KM. or unlock the limit on fighters.
I think it should be instant within say 100LYs. so its not too bad , but still keeps the scale of the universe
Sounds great!
My 2c:
1. Since it's telepresence, is your ship vulnerable in space while you're in someone else's ship or are you effectively logged out of it?
2. To add to the telepresence immersion, you could have crew members glitch like the HUD does when the ship gets hit by weapons fire.
3. Can you add SRVs to the things that crew members can pilot?

Looks pretty good to me. Re:"magic unicorn" argument....Don't we have enough time sinks and grind already? Seriously, lighten up. This is just more opportunity for peeps to play together.
I do think the option to dump any responsibility in whatever action you took whilst on board another's ship is not the way to go. We need more accountability, not less, and certainly not a get out of punishment free card. Wanna fly outside the law? Own it! Part of the experience imo.

The next big thing that will delay the release of further updates will be balancing Multi-crew with wings .. mark my words
Or just have an option in settings ''magic : On/Off''
That way players like me can have that feature hidden , whiles others can go at it

Which makes using the SRV not in keeping...
e.g. obviously Ship Dismiss and "I'll be back" (3hours later still not finding Arsenic!)

First of all, I really like that the Dev-Updates are back 
Everything that supports cooperative multiplay is +1 for me, since this is my favorite way to play with others.
Getting unique bonuses when teaming up (2 fighters, 360 degree scanners,...) creates an incentive to use this playstyle.
I do miss the option of using multiple SRVs... I would like to double up my mineral gathering speed when teaming up with my friends.
I have no problem with insta-join (since it will make multi-crew actuallly usable for so many people)
If you do not like it, just restrict yourself:
Do not allow some guy from Sol to take a seat when scanning Beagle Point and/or just dont join other crews that are not in your system.
Viewing the game with all its options I miss/would like to see many more non-combat bonuses for teaming up (scanning, mining, USS detection, trade boni, powerplay boni...) , but I hope this will be adressed in future updates (like the urgently needed exploration and trade compartments)
Any news about naming our ships?
Good work, FD

If you want to travel to swap to the multicrewed ship, you're more than welcome. The current implementation is fine.
