Yesterday, my friend and I went out in my Gunship to give Multicrew a shot. Previously, I'd done it with some other friends and it had been plagued with connection issues. One time I'd spent twenty minutes trying to successfully connect with my friend and another time my fighter pilot disconnected in the middle of a fight with an FDL. On top of that, I'd find myself making a few million credits and my friend, or friends if I was flying a bigger ship, would get only a few hundred thousand for their contribution.
Last night, my friend and I only had one or two disconnects or crashes and the few times it did were during lulls in the combat so it wasn't as inconvenient as it could have been. Additionally, my friend ended up with a few million credits in rewards which, though less than the total bounties that I myself accumulated, seemed a significant increase to previous crewmates. I should point out that my friend has Elite on Epic and complains frequently about connection issues and bugs and, unlike the other people I've done Multicrew with before, lives in a completely different country.
On top of that, we had one disconnect where, before my friend could reconnect, some random CMDR joined my crew. This was probably the biggest surprise, to be honest, so my friend just grabbed his regular combat ship and we managed to get into the same instance without any issues. We probably did steal each other's kills a bit though, given how the bounties are awarded.
