Multi-crew / Winged Hanger Bay

[teejnits]

So yes, we have Hanger Bays... And those are ok in Multi-Crew...

Can we have a ship just large enough to allow me to dock my own small ship in a bay?

My Vulture just doesn't have the distance capacity that an Anaconda does. So while in a Multi-Crew, allow me to elect to bring my own small ship "docked" to his Anaconda (or Corvette, etc)... Maybe have it able to "hitch a ride" on top or something. While we are in standard multi-crew I am on his bridge. But when we enter a war zone, I can hop into my ship or something.

Thoughts?

It best to have the Multi-crew and SLF. Because I can see a lot of trouble. Let say someone let you do this. They have 70 LY jump range. They either due to Internet or power failer leaves you 60 LY of the nearest station and you have 10 LY jump range. Or the sick joke of taking you 60 LY away and self destruct and destroy you and themselves. People might go well that 200 Million credits down the drain. But some of us has Billions of credit and tons of ships.

I think frontier saw this issue early and it why they went with SLF setup.

There are definitely issues with Multi-crew... And currently some bugs to be worked out as it is.

Traditionally I only play games with friends, so I haven't done a public multi-crew at all. To that end, I suggest two forms of multi-crew... Public and Private.

Similar to Sea of Thieves in that you can form a private team and have a lot of fun... Or you can form a public team and it'll be hit-or-miss.

Since Multi-crew is it's own instance anyway, where you can end a multi-crew session and either accept or reject the result, could do the same here.

I completely understand what you are talking about, and can empathize with public rando issues. Ultimately I don't have those issues because I only play with friends or solo

Just something I'd think would be fun to play with friends. Right now, cooperative play is fairly limited without external organization. I hope they continue to improve it.
