Save your energies for a battle you can win, FD are adamant about this. Your poll and this thread won't change anything.
I'm sorry But i disagree. this thread and other feedback threads have been useful. This isn't a battle. This is just feedback and it's always an open discussion with understanding and respect.
Their replies have been insightful and in the future when they revamp exploration or put resources into the insurmountable technical issues that need to be solved, with those conditions we might potentially see them revisit it and either give something like this or some appreciable practical alternative that makes sense in where the game is right now or will be in the future.
I understand the potential coolness but I think part of the exploration issue would be, it's because you can holo-me massive distances, the concept of exploring as it stands currently, it wouldn't be very useful. You would be kinda exploiting monetary gains or exploration gains because you don't do the work which is getting there. Now that's not to say if for example in the future, exploration was overhauled and there were more procedures during exploration then of course multi-crew would take on a very different aspect, potentially, because there would be things for the crew to do while exploring.
This bit gives me pause. At the moment, exploration with multi-crew provides no exploration for crew members. Why would there be a reward if those crew members were allowed to be in the helms position?
The logic here seems to indicate if the insurmountable issues were solved, a crew member were to be given the helm position, they would be able to get exploration rewards. That would be an exploit.
If the current holo-me system is to be kept where crew members should not get exploration because it would be an exploit, in the event that crew members were given access to the helm's position, they shouldn't get any exploration rewards for it. This should keep it inline with current decisions on how exploration is shared.
I and others would be thrilled for more roles for an exploration ship, but the main thing was to allow others to fly our ship. regardless of whether they earn exploration or monetary rewards from it or not. Even without those rewards, we'd be fine with it. the mere ability itself has intrinsic value. We don't need the shared rewards... yet.
That said I understand why, the holo-me travelling massive distances is a big exploit in the exploration context.
