PSA!!! Wing Missions ARE Multi-Crew Missions!!!

[TrailBlazer 143]

I've tested and it works! Multi-crew Missions are in Elite: Dangerous!

How it works:
1) Helmsmen accepts and shares Wing Mission (can only share one mission at a time)

2) Crew joins mission via Missions Tab

3) Crew Completes Mission

4) Helmsen turns is missions (Crew MUST stay aboard until they receive the Mission Completion Message and must NOT delete the message as this will delete their rewards)

Optional: Helmsen can accept another mission (then repeat Step 1 - Step 4)

5) Crew disbands and accepts the mission from the station the Helmsem accepted the mission (or follow the Mission Completion Message details)

I know Frontier said that they'll be adding new Wing Missions, so all frontier has to do now is balance Wing Missions for the number of Wingmates (Crew Members) and Multi-crew should make a comeback.

I'm interested in seeing everyone who might actually use Multi-crew if balances where implemented
and what else Frontier could do to make Multi-crew more interesting to engage with.

Good info.I'll bring it to use if/when my friends find time for MC action again.

Guessing the crew member needs to fly their ship to the station which give out the mission, to get their reward?

One question, since I've never tried multicrew.

Do you do this from the main menu?

If so, it could be the solution for anyone who loses a ship without having enough for the rebuy.

Nope, you join multicrew from in game, just like you join wings

OK. I suppose that is more immersive.

How does the crew complete the mission without the helm?

Fdev: We've temporarily removed wing missions since people were having fun in an unintended way, we apologise for any inconvenience (but don't actually mean it).

And the community finds out about this now?

I guess it's true that nobody really uses MC.

The only reason I know is because FDev said it was piggy backing off the Wings, so I said "what the hey" and I oh boy you should have seen my face when my friends said they got credit for the assassination mission.

It rather denotes the Level of guidance by FD. This game lacks a proper instruction notice.

To be honest, I don't think THEY even know or they would have sported it off as a NEW FEATURE. But that's just my opinion.

All Wing Missions need is Balancing for Number Of Wing Members and BOOM, Everyone's going to use Multi-Crew

How does the crew complete the mission without the helm?

The Crew goes to the station in their own ship, where the Helmsmen turned it in. Just like A Wing Mission.
