2 AI Crew members?

The fighter pilot is your imaginary friend
somewhere in the haul, no one knows where he or she goes or is.
Hm... I wonder what is the reasoning behind this decision... I also would very much like both fighters deployed in my PvE sessions...
The fighters are cool, I like switching between helm and fighter frequently, taking out eagles in the fighter is so much fun...

Apparently, two NPC fighters are OP, whereas two Multicrew CMDRS in fighters aren't. They must hold a very high esteem of their AI.
I'll say, even Harmless NPCS with railguns can be annoying to fight if they are in a nimble ship and you're in a slow turning big ship. Also the fact that NPC railguns NEVER miss.... so wings of Elite NPCS armed with rails are a sheer nightmare to even a seasoned pilot if you choose to fight since they just keep peppering you.
By becoming overpowered, they'd become a no-brainer/end goal for almost everybody, with the other ships just a little fancy ride for vacation purposes and frontier does not want that.
But I'm just bumping this thread to ask this :
put the NPC crew in the seat when possible. Please. That in itself would justify, to me, the huge risk investment. I want a person in there.
I quite regularly go into CZs, and whenever I do, I open up my Corvette. Normally I have 2 crew members within a couple of minutes. If one drops out, they are soon replaced. From that perspective, "very dead" seems and entirely wrong description.
My guess is that you say it's dead because you try to join someone else's ship, and that far more people want to do this than open up their own ship, so you get placed in a long queue.
Maybe FDev need to provide a bit more incentive for people to open up their ships?
Not to mention players can block other players who screw around or otherwise act in an anti-social manner. If you set off a sequential chain of heat sink for lulz you may not find a lot of CMDR's willing to take you onboard.
Just sayin'
I've had dozens of randoms on board, and I never had anything like that happen. Multicrew has been a very positive experience for me, and I try to make it a positive experience for my guests. I would really like to see it expanded on to cover other activities.
Says every solo mode player on this forum.
They did not completely rule it out completely for the future, and yep, I'd very much like to have that.
Really? I thought, based on a previous livestream, that it was more technical issues and the command UI that prevented two fighters being used? That said, Frontier do make weird decisions in the name of balance (wings and multicrew extra pips are fine, stacking SCBs/boosters is fine, over-engineered ships are fine? AI wingmen and multiple fighters are not? Go figure...)
