2.3 Stream on [All 2.3 feature discussions here please.]

Negative comment inbound, but I just don't get all the hype hysteria on the commander creator. Sure they've done it well but once you've messed around with it for a few minutes and looked at yourself in a few different camera angles so what? I mean they have had this in every first person or third person shooter for years, what's with it?

...and once u done that, others can see ur CMDR portrait in chat, and u theirs ofc... how cool aint that?! (we can see NPC cmdr faces too or did i missunderstand that one?)
 
Third person combat in Elite...how disappointing to see the game reduced to this.

It's an arcade feature and more akin to Eve than Elite. I've no doubt it'll be popular... however briefly... just not for me. The Holo-Me is very well done with a lot of work put in by the team, but as an addition to a barely stable game with many problems, bugs and shallow gameplay as it stands, it's of limited value.

I'll wait and see what else pops up for the 2.3 release in the vain hope of something with a bit more depth gameplay wise, but so far for me...I'll be looking for something else to while away my time once Elite: 'Arcade' goes live.

The ship naming is cool too, I didn't see the name on the exterior of the ship though.

I can see how many will love this multicrew, I'm interested in the possibilities in exploring, two sets of eyeballs see more then one.

It certainly looks awesome!!

Exploring will be fun. Since they didn't tak about everything, I'm holding out hope that crew mates can hop in srvs as well!

I believe they said that srv's can't be used in multicrew yet.
I was more thinking in the line of someone sitting in the lower seat in the AspX or even better an slf in a Conda or Keelback to search for geysers, poi's, etc.
When equiped with a turret the 2nd crewmember has a nice 3rd person view too.
 
Second stream showed some great stuff - multi-crew looks like a lot of fun! Hope they expand it to four players in the future.
