Are there any plans for allowing SRV in multicrew?

Myself and my wingman play a lot in multicrew, mostly combat. Is there any indication on whether they will expand the multicrew functionality to allow things such as taking out SRVs in a multicrewed ship and perhaps allowing a crewman to pilot your ship whilst you're in a fighter?

My guess is that FD genuinely don't know how to do it. To us it might seem simple but i genuinely believe that their are reasons FD cannot find a way to make this work. Why?

Because its such an obvious feature to include, it would probably be the single most used feature within MC (2 people using an SRV). Its like asking for a black coffee without the coffee.

I do believe FD have stated there are issues that prevent them from adding this feature but it would be nice for them to explain why they cant put it in.

Or you just buy a hangar with two bays?

thats not what i meant, ofc you buy a hanger with more SRVs. but if you went multicrewing and your mate blew up his SRV.. end of the session, head back to start, you dont get 100 bucks..
there is no fun in that, SRV hanger should be equal to SLF hanger and should print them when destroyed.

Having one or two extra would be great yes, but then again, they're sturdier than the SLF and usually not used in combat. :D

Another fun option could be another kind of SRV (or even more then one) that can have more then one person in, which should be as doable as multi-crew ship...

Have some larger SRV options that require the 2 bay. Currently the 2 bay is a bit odd, and even more so with SLF being able to rebuild but a dune-buggy taking almost the same size cannot?

but lets have a situation.

Someone is on an exploration trip and enables multicrew. Someone joins and they go to a planet.
one of them dies in the srv, and now there is only 1 srv left and no stations nearby to repair.

Having the hanger print new SRVs they could continue..

Well yes, but that's part of the game and one of the risks that comes with exploration. If you drive your SRV in a manner that makes it explode, you probably deserve just that.

One or two as a replacement would be nice, but not 15 like the SLFs

I was asking for SRV in MC from the beta. Well, at the end FD said that they will work further on MC features if its popular among commanders so... maybe?

I see wich issue you are adressing. 10.000 ly away, opening your ship for multicrew to have one of your SRV crashed by some troll is tough. But if you make SRV printable, the Hangars with multiple Hangars would only be bought and used by People who want to multicrew, like the double SLF-bay. Well, in fact, I don't care, make SRV usable in multicrew at once, no matter how.

If this restriction is all about horizons, make it so Crew that didn't buy horizon can't enter a SRV, Problem solved. People who didn't buy horizon can already land on planets when multicrewing AFAIK, so it wouldn't make much of a difference, on the other Hand...

No they don't. That isn't even remotely a prerequisite for enabling multicrew functionality to the SRV. Printable SRVs are just a Thing You Want, which is fine, but has nothing to do with multicrew.

i think having more hanger space should come to play when we have more differant types of SRV.

also, if we get hangers with printable SRVs, i would also like an SRV hanger that cant print, but has a much lower mass.
so i could put one on my racer ships with not to much downsides.
if i would smack on a hanger on my icourier, it goes from 830ms to 670ms

Multicrew is already a feature that is locked to Horizons. There is no such thing as a non-Horizons crew member.

yes its something I want, because i could forsee problems with the current state of the hangers and multicrew.
