Is Multi Crew Dead unless with Friends or Clan?

Friends of mine haven't had any issues in open. I would have thought Mobius would be much harder to find a place on a ship.
I'm interested to see if 2.4 leads to more people utilizing multi crew rather than risk their own ships, at least at the start of any alien conflict where the ability to have 2-3 sets of eyes might be a real benefit. I'm hoping the Thargoids are more complex and challenging than most current NPCs. Regards.
It's not dead in open for bounty hunting. there's not ALWAYS a ship but it's pretty easy to find.
Other activities, well. they don't benefit the crewmembers so it's harder to find.
Just my 2 cents though, the people you find for things such as mining and exploration are usually very nice. They're not there for the money so you know they're not the competitive type and they're in there for the "experience".
Bounty hunting is more 50/50. the people you find there can be silent, or kick you if you're no good to them, and those that get on board can leave you without a word as soon as they realize you're not that fast a moneymaker.
That sums it up. Not dead, but I hope Fdev watches and does not let it die the CQC death.

I have no desire to rely on another human for multi crew.
So without being able to assign NPC's, it was dead on arrival.

It was Born Dead.
FD originally said an Multi Crew Ship would be able to hold its own against 2 Ships.
But the entire thing is so Nerfed to oblivion that its effectively an Extra Sidewinder at best. And an Downgrade at worst as it blocks your weapons...
Rewards are less than what you get alone. And the handling is horrible.
Just using a Wing gives you 100% of your and 100% of his Kills.
It even counts for Quests and Bonds etc.
3 guys in Wing are 300% Reward for Everyone in the Wing because you just get the Rewards of the other Guys along.
3 guys in Multi Crew are 50% reward if your unlucky. 100% at best case Scenario. 110% if you got an absolutely awesome Pilot for your Fighter.
So Seriously.
Why the heck would anyone ever use Multicrew ????
FD messed this up Horribly.
Honestly said. The Only explanation I can come up with for this being sooooo damn badly done and being so Punishing.
Is that FD does not actually want anyone to use Multicrew.
They want you to use Wing and to never actually touch Multi Crew.
I somehow have the Feeling they only Implemented Multi Crew because it was an Demanded Feature and dont want to develop it any further so they made it so horribly bad so nobody uses it. And they can say. Well nobody wants that so its got no priority and wont be further developed till 2058
absolutely plus one ^
people want this to be a "sim" right? be all "real"?
it is not a secret that in a multi crew "ship" the guy flying should ONLY be flying, while the other crew member has the authority and ability to do EVERYTHING else. which means, I fly, and you operate systems, plot navigation, use all the weapons however you want, do everything except fly the ship. so the guy flying, can concentrate on doing just that. that would be real multi crew.
pilot flying should not be doing other work while the guy next to him is drooling on himself. FD had an opportunity to take a page out of real life, and really make this fun, but they blew it.

I've had a few people jump in with me when I am out and about. The question I have is can a person with a PS4 multicrew with a PC or XBox player?
Nope differnt galaxy for differnt platforms, but we do share the BGS.
Woah....
Thats utterly Disgusting.
And Unfortunately an Perfect Description for Multi Crew....
The movie itself was visually stunning for it's time. Sadly, Multicrew will never have similar accolades. There was potential, but as the saying goes 'well, it looked good on paper.'
I only use it with friends. I have added to my friends list though by joining others but as an xbox user it seems not many people (or im just unlucky) seem to use it.
Thanks, but PC and Apple are the same galaxy, correct?
Multicrew is to unstable, and only interesting when you got a ship with an SLF (that is multicrew-enabled)
maybe, but mac users don't have horizons, which is necessary for multicrew.
