Are those extra seat just cosmetic or are they there for a reason,In Frontier Elite II large ship had to have multiple crew which you had to hire and pay for,Do you think this is how multicrew ship will work,just extra money you have to pay out, nothing more substantial.I was hoping the co-Pilot would fly the ship while i manual control the turrets,or maybe i could do damage control,things of that nature,what do you think
Multicrewd ship
- Thread starter bendover
- Start date
Leave docking to a Co pilot (rather than a docking computer)
Perhaps you could set it up for a Co pilot to automatically scan each system on arrival or cargo scan certain ships etc
Maybe even have them automatically target sub systems
And if we do get the ability to dock small fighters on larger ships they could pilot the main one whilst you go pirating / smuggling / outpost trading in the smaller ship?

All I really want is 'Networked shared cockpits' At least that way I can start bringing friends onboard the ship in Virtual reality.
As far as NPC AI crew - Am struggling to see what exactly they will do.. NPC landing the ship, so it's AI acting like the AI docking computer. These ships need to be more complex systems wise, theirs not much for AI crew to do right now. Voice attack acts like an interactive crew member, unless I can actually issue vocal orders to an NPC crew member, I personally don't see any reason why I would want one.
On the flipside they could make it like another mini game, crew members hired, can rank up and overboost systems as skills increase. Kinda like silent hunter or the old cap ship simulator 'Klingon academy'
Anyway, devs please give us multi crew cockpits. flying in VR is as anti social as it gets!

Yeah crew and passengers are probably the biggest "non expansion" thing missing from the game now.
I imagine they will start by giving a boost to engines/shields or whatever the crew member specialises in and expand it from there.
Multiplayer crews would be great but I don't know how much they will do until we get the walking around expansion.
