How about a multicrew “Galaxy of Warships” CQC game option inside ED ... a large ship multicrew CQC version?

Every now and then, our player faction has what is called a “Fixed Weapons Friday” where we play 2v2 or 3v2 (with one of the 3 being a fast defenseless VIP to protect). We usually do this in small “low rebuy” ships with “report crimes” turned off. It’s great fun and some friendly competitive PVP action in our main system RES sites.

Our only rules are: nothing that locks or tracks a target ... meaning fixed weapons only, or weapons that can be set to forward fire only (like turrets). We do allow mines and dumbfire missiles, because they don’t target or track anything. And we allow any engineering on the small ships as well (making small stealthy ships really fun when hunting down the VIP). It’s a really cheap rebuy night that improves our flight skills ... and builds player faction rapport and camaraderie.

Why can’t Frontier create this type of big ship multicrew CQC ... loading up large ships with preset weapons packages, in various combat environments, in various game modes?
 
If a module were added that was similar to a manifest scanner but gave precise details of another ships loadout it would allow many emergent PvP playstyles to overcome potential trust issues when organising events such as this.

I was talking about a large ship, multi crew version of the small ship CQC that frontier already has as a separate part of ED ... not something in the main game itself.
 
Nice thoughts! I'd like to see some boarding action scenarios also once we get space legs.

You could get your pals to multicrew with you as boarding specialists, there could be grappling cables to tie ships together once shields are down and boarders could be sent over to the other ship; modules could then be sabotaged from the inside out, ships could be captured, etc. :)
