I forsee the #FreeDropship threads

Isn't the fade to black transition animation still working?

Fade to black into / out of the srv.
Fade to black into / out of the slf.
Fade to black fleet carrier jump.
Fade to black into / out of the outpost/station using the ship as a "portal".

I think the issue is that there needs to be somewhere to "park" players while they're aboard a ship, prior to deploying as FPS characters.

I guess the "MVP" solution might just be for any passengers to see a 3rd-person view of the ship they're aboard, perhaps with a small UI super-imposed so that a player could do stuff like equip weapons, configure equipment and initiate their exit from the ship.

I guess we'll find out what FDev are going to do eventually.

It would be easy to put them in an airline like seat in either a passenger module or some off bridge location in the ship with a display in front of them that let them watch what was going on through various ships cameras. This does not have to be hard. But I do suspect, at least "at launch" you are all going to be limited to multi-crew seats only. So yeah, KraitII, and Crusader are likely going to become the legs missions metas as the only mediums with 3 seats. Hope to be wrong.
