Is Multicrew Completely Useless as in Broken?

[Schmack]

There seems to be an entire laundry list of broken MC aspects. One in particular is mining. You want to show someone how to mine, they join your ship in MC. Great app, no? No. The seismic charges detonate as soon as they contact the fissure.

I came to this forum to look at the bugs report. I searched for "multicrew seismic" and there's a report for it, but it won't open.

• Has it been closed?
• Is it working as intended (meaning only for battle to prevent basically Cr twinking noobs)?
• Is the bugs report site also buggy?

I have read multiple reports on here of MC having issues. If it doesn't work, why is it still an option? It's like handing out a brochure of a product with many bullet points of what the product can do, but then it cannot do most of it.

• So what can you do with Multicrew?
• Anything other than join with your alt account to gain that extra pip while in battle?
• Is this the most broken aspect of the game?
• Does it need to be repaired and if not, does it need to be removed?

Inquiring minds want to know.

These forums are full of inherently selfish people, so you might find that people who do actively multi crew are thin on the ground here.

But yeah, for me Multi-Crew is like CQC.
A sort of development stepping stone towards space legs that ended up being a dead end.

What did they say:”We’ll fix it if enough people use it”

I originally bought 2 copies of E because I was super excited to play multicrew, alas it still doesn't work correctly for me. I do have faith that one day years from now it will finally be working, but basically no, it doesn't work yet.

That's like saying "the beatings will stop when the morale improves".

I don't use it often, but I'm not greedy. If it worked, anyone is welcomed to the empty seats if you can stand the company.

Lots of questions, one answer; another of FDs half-baked add-on features. Marred by failures to connect, disconnects, crashes and the odd instancing bug. Could have been great. Remained a broken, buggy mess last I checked. Sad.

Could be a really good teaching tool for new players who can find a mentor. In fact, this would be a great way for new players to experience bigger ships they might want to own, to allow them to fly the ship but not use the weapons and get the feel of the handling to see if they like it. This would beat having a showroom and encourage teamwork.

Could have been.
