2.3 MultiCrew Payout Model

Lol? So now I would have to spend my time so another guy can earn the credits? No, thanks.

Comrade, I am heartend to see a post like this. As you know, it is essential in the building of a people's intergalactic dictatorship of the proletariat, that we must throw off the shackles of the bourgeois class. The helmsman, who owns the ship, is able to make the crew increase his profits by donating their labor in the form of additional pips, better targeting options, SLF piloting, and so on, but then the crew does not receive equal reward for their labor.

We must not struggle on behalf of the space-kulaks, who would exploit our labor to make themselves rich. It is the duty of every space communist and space anarchist to reject multicrew until such time as we can expropriate our labor and seize the means of production.

Multicrew is a bourgeois trap. You are an icon of the people's galactic revolution and I wish you luck in your glorious struggle against the inequity and exploitation of the crewing class. Diamond Frogs stand by our communist comrades on the space-Left against this latest bourgeois threat.

the question above alone is so bad formulated, that its even harder to answer it.

it goes with the assumption that multicrew ships are just piloted by elite pilots,
that the crew payout is only dependant to your own rank, not the pilots,
and that multicrew is only for the payout to beginn with.

now... can someone confirm the top two asumptions?

Not even bothering to Update the Game right now.
Planned to play with two Friends when it came out.
But this bullcrab ruined my mood.

Not going to touch MC like that.
Its worthless rubbish like this.
Dunno who had the idea to make MC be completely useless but they should sack him.


Any decent Fighter is stronger than a Gunner or an Printed Fighter.
And they earn Full shares of the Money.

If my Friend now would tag along for MC we would get Enemies done maybe 10% faster and he would get like 30% reward.
Total reward 140% of what i would do alone
If he just tags along with his Vulture we would do Enemies 80% faster and both would get half.
180% of what I would get alone.

Moreover in MC i get 110% he gets 30% which is totally idiotic.
In Wing we both get 90%


Lets face it.
The MC mechanic sux and makes multi crew completely useless.

actually, you can earn 200% to 400% wings members get 100% bounty now.
 
One thing is the real life and how I (der real person) value my time spent. The other thing is the role-playing (not der real person).

Ah, so what you're saying is you are in fact a fascist roleplaying poorly as a communist, and you somehow think that your time is more valuable than other people's time because you have played the video game more than they have. Not exactly a well thought out position.

That is your opinion sir. I do not happen to share it. I don't care for PowerPlay so I don't use that part of the game. Plenty left to do
in my opinion.

Agree. Born dead to be exact.

Wait.. Did someone say that making kills as a crew member does NOT count to your combat rank? This must be a bug, right? One of the reasons to use the MC feature for me would be to engage in combat and increase my rank.

Yes, it counts towards your rank. Ignore forum hysteria.

It doesn't matter. If I was roleplaying I'd just venture for equal pay for collaborative work and that in a true egalitarian society the means of production (here: ship) should be in the hands of the community for the greater good. Satisfied?
 

So Multi Crew is Intended to be a one time fun experience and then be abandoned because its useless.
Great.
No Offense but sure for a one time fun experience if you disregard any Gain.
This can be used.
But sorry. If Multi Crew is Intended to be a Just for Fun Feature used by those who have already Finished the Game anyways and dont really need to Progress anymore.
Than its a Wasted Feature.

Its going to be used a few times. And then be abandoned.
A Fate unfortunately all to common in ED

You need to pay NPC crew for piloting SLFs though, and it's not NPC crew that man turrets, it's our ship computers (which is why they get confused by chaff, unlike actual crewed systems).

People can use multicrew because they want to play with their friends. It's not always about money, some people wanted a social aspect and another way of playing with their friends.

Taking your friend along in his Vulture would certainly give greater income, but if he is the other end of the bubble then he will be spending the evening travelling over to you rather than actually helping you with bounties. Multicrew is instant, no travel time required.

Look at multicrew as a fancy toy, a little pew pew minigame to play with friends, not a proper avenue for advancing your career.

Thats an pretty exact evaluation.
Its a Fancy and Useless Toy.
Its like a Golden Toilet.
Its fun to use it once. Its exiting. But for Daily life since cleaning it is a pain in the . You will just abandon it and use the normal Toilet again.
Soon it will be forgotten that it exists.

actually, you can earn 200% to 400% wings members get 100% bounty now.

Which is a total joke really.
It takes away all reason to ever even touch Multi Crew....


The went and made a Great Feature entirely useless.
Unsurprisingly.
None of my Friends is even remotely interested in trying out the Game after watching the Video of Obsidian Ant and knowing that they wont earn scrap by using this Feature anyways.
