Multi crew fighter pilot role

[777Driver]

Have to admit I was wrong about not allowing random cmdrs to join the ship. Past two days have been in a Haz Rez with a T-10, hunting for materials and criminals, a Taipan & Condor fitted, have had a steady stream of cmdrs joining to fly the fighters. Has been a huge amount of fun.

Just two issues I am trying to figure out - Like most mp games you get the occasional player with a stuck mic, TV blaring or talking in the background, is there a way to have mute by default?

Is there an option to only allow the fighter role to be manned?

Cheers

No to allowing fighter role only, except not having turrets, missiles or limpets for them to mess with... but that sort of limits your creativity.
As for Mute by Default... I don't recall, but I do know for sure you can mute someone who doesn't realize they're running an open mic.

You can set voice comms off by default in the wing/multicrew options. Sorry I can't be more specific; I did it ages ago and I'm at work now.

And yes, multicrew with random punters can be fun. I love flying fighters for people. Even just flying CAP while they're mining.

Someone remind me ... can you allow ONLY the fighter pilot role in multicrew? I ask as many of my bigger ships will some turrets on them, and i absolutely do not want other random players manning them poorly. The computer does a perfectly good job.

Negative. All you can do is kick people out if they don't listen and man your guns.

Been running a mix of missiles and torps. Am pretty sure the missiles can be used as turrets. So far everyone that has joined has acted maturely, I'll stick to anarchy's just in case I get a rouge pilot.

Unfortunately not. However, you can restrict their access to the turreted weapons as maybe 'encouragement' to use the fighter?
