All you've described, though, is cheap gimmick.
Look what happened when FD responded to requests to allow other players to sit in their ship cockpit and help out. 55 pages later and we still seem to have a lot of people unhappy that they're there, that they do anything, that they don't do enough, that they weren't what was asked for, that it's only combat, that how it happens is immersion breaking. please let me change other bits because it makes no sense not to, how bout these games, i'm the ideas man and not the doing man, ...
EDIT.
MARC! Pass on your ideas to this guy, see if you can see someone else like your idea, or expand on it, or tell you it's shallow and pointless. Just tell the guy.

There's one feature I am absolutely certain Commander Creator won't have, and that's a genital size slider like in Conan: Exiles [haha]
Why, you ask? Well it's quite simple, ED already has a genital size indicator... it's called the Imperial Cutter

A mining director crew
Has the ability to see different ores on an asteroid with a UI which shows the ores with different colors.
Operates the Drill and checks the pressure of the rock so it doesnt shatter and damage the ship, the drill needs to be set tothe correct rpm depending to ore to be extracted.
Can launch smaller drilling ships or ore collectors for one pilot (another crew members)
Can operate probes to scan large sectors of a belt to identify where are the concentrated ores.
Can process the ores, each one with a slighty different precess, rare ores are much more difficult to process.
Oh man, the possibilities of this game... HAHAHA and we have a "gunner" pew pew.
welcome to the future....where we use LASERS for mining....drills? lol this ain't space engineers!

This is a very good summary of my thoughts!
And I think the answer is .... they couldn't think how to make it fun with the current game (I posted earlier for engineer I'd like to be actually running around ship for example) hence why we have gunner and using SLFs....because most people like a bit of pew pew!
And just think, if you can jump in from anywhere...well I'll no longer have to wait for a CQC match to get my combat jollies while out exploring.... I can just jump into someone else's ship in a res and do some shooting!
One of my main "gripes" is actually the inability to give helm to another player. So many situations I can think of I'd want to do that. From me piloting the SLF, to training "new" players, to letting friends test my ship and suggest improvements or even experience bugs! I can guess reasons why they aren't doing this, but for me it's a bit of a shame.

Unfortunately the Game has a serious case of ED that even a blue pill cant cure.
(*Exploration Dysfunction)
Oh but, the future in this game is sooooo boing. The pew pew in combat is exactly the same as an asteroid.
That means... we're mining while doing combat?
feels like it sometimes.....I'm only 50% master because most of the time I can't be bothered with combat because it's no challenge! Been like that since AI got nerfed post 2.1 for me. I only usually fight either with a crew or at community goals.

The thing about telepresence is , if you can beam a body (even if its not physical) to a ship why do ships in elite even bother with pilots? why does the military have soldiers in ships if they could just have them sitting at home using telepresence.
If the reason is telepresence is expensive then telepresence should be a module we purchase.
It might sound like a small issue but it changes everything from a RP standpoint.
I think a nice solution is if we take on the role of one of our hired NPC pilots or even make a new charecter if we are too far to reach our friends ship.
Its small things like this that are not just shortcuts in logic , but tearing giant holes in elites reality.
Who is scared of the thargoids? we can just all live underground and use telepresence to live our lives.
Maybe retcon it so that we are clones that use telepresence a bit like eve , yes it would screw over the books to a point , but if the universe does not make sense may as well have everything be random shapes with no context

It is nice to see that someone from the ream reads our comments
.Time to share my awesome multicrew exploration concept:
The concept is based on physical presence on Friends ship, of course I assume there is no Space Legs in game. When you join your friends on his ship (first you need to dock on the same station) you are assigned to that vehicle, even if you logoff, next time you enter the game you will be still crew member of your friend. Thanks to that you and your friends are able to participate in true multicrew journey. For example, when you logoff but your friends still playing, you are still travelling! Of course to make it more accessible and easy to handle for players. They can quite from that kind of multicrew experience at any time by exiting in "escape pod" or something else. Just like in the case your ship is destroyed.
Next great thing could be Ship Launched Recon Vehicle. Equipped only with only Super Cruise capable FSD, advanced scanners and without weapons it could be great tool for multicrew exploration.

Requiring a module for telepresence would also reduce (by taking up one module slot) the apparent advantage of 1-free-pip-per-crewmember.
I've allready been to all places without being there myself by watching clips on youtube. That doesn't change the fact that even if I went there as a crewmember to do some more interactive things compared to watching a youtube clip, that I wouldn't want to go there with my own ship.
I managed to get hyperdicted by a Thargoid vessel after I had watched a video of the event... Went to the Pleiades and jumped around just to experience it first hand with my own ship.
Woah, Brett posted!
It’s good to see that Frontier is at least reading the thread, I was beginning to wonder!
I would like to know if 2.3 multicrew UI will be VR friendly. I'm seriously concerned about FPS view withour positional tracking.
Telepresence would be mainly repaired, if delayed to be released, after npc crew. So we won't teleport, we'll control a friend's npc crew. At least, it could gives a sense to do crimes and not be punished. And the ship captain should be capable of ending other player control, over his npcs, as he desire.

I just feel like its all about making the game easy.
Its not about challenge , immersion , role play , lore and story it just feels to me that its all about instant gratification... video game junk-food. and it hurts me to even say that , to even put that to text hurts.
Elite is a smart game. but there is no consequences to negative actions in the game , and with commanders it will be... optional.
''sorry officer I may have killed 500 of your men , but I refused to get paid for it !''
''oh very well sir, move along''
I am starting to think ship to ship boarding will never be a thing , same for friendly (physical) visits on a friends bridge.
I mean I dont mind if they do something like you can ''lock'' your ship making it impossible to take it when docked in a station , but one thing that sold me on ED was when braben said ''sneak in cargo and steal someones ship , it might be even end up being a players''

Telepresences is a good idea , but lore wise it does not make sense. because if the tech can work 9000ly for multicrew why does it not work more than 20KM for a fighter?
Why do all the navies not use it?
Why do traders risk lives when they could just use telepresence?

Thanks - you've just excluded all players out exploring.

Despite how fast the thread is growing, have been keeping a watchful eye on the feedback.
