Are further activities placeholder?

If MultiCrew only works for pew pew: gunner and SLF roles (that's SRV in the corner), then what in heavens name are the other "roles" for?

These so called "further activities" seem utterly placeholder to me. Please prove me wrong.

Mining has some gameplay for multicrew. Turreted mining lasers and I think they can run limpets or whatnot.
Exploration is cool to multicrew because you can jump in and see something you probably wouldn't have.
Smuggling...no not much to do there.

I dunno but Exploration is effectively "spectator mode." I use it if I want to run E:D as a screensaver or just mess around with the external camera. Course even as a spectator mode it doesn't work too well, since you get yanked out of external camera mode during hyperspace jumps.

Exploring via multicrew? You're having a laugh!

I may as well go on YouTube to watch something interesting someone has specifically uploaded while in the black. Watching someone else jump between beige systems while waiting for something interesting to occur is certainly not my idea of gameplay.

Made me think of a heat-management minigame for Multicrew Smuggling. Could only be done with hardpoints retracted to prevent abuse, the crew could carefully vent or cycle (someone more knowledgeable could fill this in) the heat buildup in the ship to increase the amount of time you can stay in Silent Running. Maybe two or more commanders could get a bonus from selling to black markets or completing smuggling missions too.

Mining was fun but I felt exploited getting trade dividends for doing half the work.

Exploration is cool if you want to look about and maybe chat.

Smuggling has no explainable place whatsoever in that menu.


In this game consider everything a placeholder, unless expressly stated as otherwise.
