Multi crew egress already exists. But yeah in theory, this would be yet another way to leave a dangerous situation. But in reality, digging through your menus while a ganker is shooting you isn't necessarily a viable way to escape.

You didin't get an answer cause it's mentioned in the first post. It's a small slot.
Hello Will,
I wish I could believe that the team is doing everything they can against botting, but the evidence says a totally different thing. Maybe (and I say maybe) it would help to know what you actually do, and if you only check when requested then it's not enough.
I don't want to go offtopic too much, but these modules (even if will help a lot newbies and I've got anything against them) will help bot-abusers too, and that's a consequence that can't be underestimated.
So what I (and many others) would like to see is something more effective done against bots, to answer to reports is clearly not enough: being a customer I want to play the game, not spending my time to keep reporting anything suspicious in the game.
It can't be your customers' job: it's your job, and as a company you're doing a really bad job about that.
Perhaps one of the starting systems for the more adventurous voyagers is called Bajor and has a wormhole that drops you somewhere in the Delta Quadrant?
And funded the kick starter...
Not elite, rank one in any track
This is the REAL reason Frontier added extra module slots, to make room for the elephants!!!This is about elephants, isn't it...
Darnit, does that mean EBL isn't fixed in this update?
Oh, rescuing these guys will be a real challenge...
Imagine. The people who are bringing up botting are people who've been able to recognize this due to botters bragging about their exploits in open. You say you investigate reports seriously but I don't know. Something about that tells me that this is a lie.
SDC's investigated illegitimate (non-menu log) combat logging and has graded FDev on reports in the past. This was responded to by "oh we just fell asleep that day at the office" The super thread on the bots doing undermining for the Alliance by giving them worthless systems still has yet to be responded to by a representative. By what people can see and report, they've done your job for you. Some of the community going above and beyond doing what QA should be doing.
All because they have a passion for this game to succeed.
Botting will be fully unchecked. It's already unchecked. How are people supposed to report botting that occurs in PG/Solo? I guarantee botting happens way more than it does so in Open play. Stop lying to save face, thanks.

If this thread did something well it was highlighting the fundamental schism in the player base. There are people who approach the game as something to be mastered and a challenge to be overcome, and there are people who approach the game as an opportunity for escapism and relaxation. If you think about it, pretty much every issue that divides the player base runs down these lines. Frontier has to balance the game around these different playing styles.
"Oh but people won't master the system if we give them tools to automate things!"
Well the only one who is concerned about other people mastering the system is you. They certainly don't care if they "mastered" the system or not, it's not why they play.
The same applies to concerns of making the game "too accessible" or "too noob friendly". If these are all things that people can opt-in, then in what way does it affect your game? My working theory is because you're not concerned about the game itself, but rather how people outside perceive the game, and by extension, you. You want people to believe you mastered a hardcore simulator where nothing comes easy, and making the game more accessible dilutes that perception.

I’m sorry, but you seem to be experienced with bots issues. Can you please elaborate here what is the bots’ impact for a casual Commander, apart from it being unethical? Do you mean the BGS is messed up by such actions or...? I’m trully interested how few bots might mess up my funtimes in-game?
I agree.. but this is all speculation of course because we don't know the actual financial situation for elite dangerous so no one can really tell what's the truth
U better read it better, it does say size 1!!!!
"Free module slots for everyone!
With the introduction of these new modules, small ships will be outfitted with two additional size one Optional Internal slots, while medium and large ships will also receive one additional Optional Internal slot. This will automatically and retroactively apply to all relevant ships. "

Will, if you plan in the future to also make the game more welcoming to beginners and experienced players, removing boring or long minutes of meaningless waiting from the game, can we expect such a module as a "magnetic beam" to collect only materials for engineers? because in other games where things fall out from opponents to improve equipment, they are collected atomatically or by a single click. Collecting cargo using drones can be left as is.
In Solo every ship but me seems to be botting tbh
