You don't have to schedule weeks in advance to wing with people.
Make an animation of a shuttle/pod flying over to the other ship, then make it so you can multicrew while in the same instance and it works just like wings do right now.
True to form I see salt, indifference and enthusiasm.
It doesn't say anything how FD will handle AFK players. Which I am sure they will do.

it takes all sorts to make a world, nothing to worry about [up]
Explorer: 'Yay instant commander transfer, I can play with my friends' ...'Oh hold on, they can only fire my guns and fly my SLF's' ... 'Sob'
Well, from the description? Not really. It seems like you can put yourself in a Looking for ship list and then get paired with someone who is looking for a crew. So maybe it should be seen as a way to get friends?
How will FD know you are AFK .. wiggle your joystick/mouse a little every now and then and you're golden ..

It does sound great , but instant magic-pilot transfer is crazy. even with ''telepresence'' makes no sense.
If its telepresence then why even fly a ship at all? why even do anything when you can teleport a fake body billions of lightyears away.
In lore we have a max range on fighters? is that just because they are cheap? do bigger ships have a better telepresence function?
I got into elite and paid a lot of money because of how immersive it was , because of how intelligent it felt.
Yep...combat elite without having to even undock the starter ship...
On AWS cloud. Yep tell me how your going to implement this again? Netcode for SRV instances is extremely buggy still so your saying multicrew is a possibility too. Or will Fdev be getting a nice new shiny dedicated server so that we can all play on instead?
To be honest , I dont care what other players do as long as they are not killing the space time continuum with magic ship transfer and telepresence with unlimited range.
If someone wants to cheat that way , I loose nothing because they are just leeching off someone elses work.
They are not upsetting the ballance or gameplay for me , or the lore. they are just some guy sitting in the backseat of a ship.
But I agree that from a gameplay stance something will need to be done
true, this does have a stink of PR disaster if the networking is as shaky as it is now.
They will also track your contribution to kills, which is easy to do. I don't see problem for them to detect if you are just slacking.
This really does not fit into the spirit of how multicrew is being described. Everyone getting 100% payout automatically fits perfectly.
What it has to do with AWS? Local instancing is done via peer to peer, using direct connections. As for bugs 2.2.03 fixed bunch of critical ones, and 2.3 no doubt will work on more.
Why people keep mentioning dedicated servers? They will make transfer slower, gameplay slower and doesn't remove lag as potential issue, nor either hacking (as evident with Space Marine from CIG).
I think you are hoping for too much ... if the idea is that all combat profit gets duplicated to all CMDR's on the ship, why add some kind of "you did x-amount of shooting so you get X amount"? - that is not going to happen, really.
Description is for people to digest at this point. Of course they are aware of potential AFK exploits. Also it might be they undecided how to handle that (as they usually decides during beta period).
