Any update on elite dangerous multi crew?

Multicrew looks like it's just going be doing something in your friends ship for now pilot/gunner in a turret maybe or something else ????? who knows. Coming within the next few updates! Did read a couple of posts saying that commander creator and multicrew may allow basic walking around ships and that Frontier might release some fps stuff season 3, but that's just speculation as such. No one really knows what season 3 is yet!

Season 3 is likely to be walking around ships and maybe stations. Be good if there was some EVA as well. Multicrew is just more than one player in a ship which has multiple seats.

Where did you read that? Walking around in your cockpit or command deck would be nice during season 2. Season 3 should have full first-person gameplay with walking on planets and boarding ships.
 
Knowing how Frontier works, it will probably be a simple yet very well introduced way to multi-crew, don't expect anything too flashy but the core will be set. Then over time they will use it as a base for the new gameplay they will introduce (Walking around ships, First person...)
 
No walking around in Season 2, MB has said so many times, unless they changed their mind.

Season 3 we know nothing about, it's all speculation. We do know that FPS will be in the game at some point, and it will include EVA, ship FPS, station FPS, planet FPS.

Everything is Soon(10 year time scale) Tm ;)
 
I wonder if FD is competing with Fractured Space http://store.steampowered.com/app/310380/

The type of intended audience is totally different for both games. Fractured Space is a MOBA whilst ED is a space simulation. Even ED:Arena is something totally different from what Fractured Space is. FS is more based on tactical gameplay where as ED:Arena is more based on the classic gamemodes you find in PvP games.

Fractured Space is competing with the other MOBA's out there and specifically in the area of space based games is competing more with Dreadnought than anything else.

Well, that is true, however if we start to put the dots together with the info we already have, My guess would be season 3 for the FPS part.

Speculation!!

Season 3 will include FPS in our ships, outposts and part of stations, same with settlements, planetary FPS will be possible, and so will EVA.
Not all at once, but released during season 3.

End of speculation

For many reasons I don't see this postponed to season 4 or even season 5, the atmospheric planets will require a pile of work, if they want to do it right.
The FPS part will require more background work due to VR and controls. It's not that easy and FD will need to make it the same high standard as they have now.

The whole moving around in your space ship without Artificial Gravity will be very interesting.
 
Well I'm certainly looking forward to Elite Dangerous: Legs
Especially if it allows us to get out of and flip back over an upside-down SRV!
 
I really would love to space legs come sooner than later...its sorely missing from the game imo.
and multicrew without it?....how boring is that going to be.

basically its the same as flying your ship as normal but you can see a mate sat in your co pilots chair and he can play with shields ect........great as a basic function,but I want to be able to hold a meeting in my annies war room with my multicrew.

I back that other space game that does all this pretty much as I imagine it,just more polish ect and it will be there,i just hope ED can pull it off to the same spec.

Lets get this great space classic into a modern day format.

"Put the dots together"?

You don't believe in shape shifting space lizards do you?

Ah, but the question is how long is a frontier season? ;)
 
Ahh...Commander Smith, its about your insurance claim. You lost your ship how again?
I was walking around my ship
Right...and who was flying it?
Nobody
Okay....so you didn't see the star approaching.
No...I didn't, because I was walking around my ship.
Parole denied.
