Hi people,
I Love the game and I love Pulsar, Lost Colony too. Pulsar does a few things extremely right, resulting in a lot of fun and immersion while multi-crewing
1 WARP AS A MOMENT OF REST AND ORIENTATION
in Pulsar, during Warp there is a little bar visible counting down the minutes/seconds untill you arrive at the new star system. This allows a player to check up on systems, review the map etc. This can at all times be skipped by the "Skip Warp' function, after which you instantly arrive at the destination system. Also, Warp count is used to represent Research Time. Very usefull and could be used in Elite Dangerous for refining, I imagine. Also, you are able to view your ship at your leasure. (PLEASE ADD CAMERA DURING WARP) If these things were to be added in ED, the Warp sequences get more immersive and have functionality.
2 MULTI-CREW FUNCTIONS
I havent had much experience with multi-crew in ED, as I dont own such a ship yet ;P...but seeing some youtube video's I get the impression that it is rather stale. Please look at Pulsar and it's multiplayer features to be added in ED:
Engineer (distribute power to Systems, Engines and Weapons, prepare Jump Drive, Repare Damage)
Science officer (various scans, refine materials, Navigation, Communications) With respect to Communications; There could be just a few standard greetings or threats and a reaction. It doesnt have to be deep, but the possiblity can add a lot of immersion and a kind of sense of real communication between vessels, stations and planets etc.
Tactical (man a turret, fly a fighter, SRV)
Pilot (fly the ship, weapons)
This would make ED a far more interesting Multiplayer experience. Where Pulsar is a very small game in comparison, the true potential of that system could easily be come to its full glory in a game like Elite Dangerous). It would make exploring with ur mates fun. Have discussions over where to go next while at Warp and if everybody is ready, skip warp and enter a new system with all kinds of things to do.
3 Have a few more interesting places to land or investigate on foot with ur team (for when Space Legs is ready) like ancient ship-wrecks or have the odd solitary Trading Post where u can dock and pay hefty sums for Rare items etc.
Thanks for a great game, I hope someone from Frontier sees this message.
Thank you for considering
