Newcomer / Intro Returning Player with questions

So, I stopped playing around a year ago, my work was killing me and I didn't have much time for gaming in general. I sort of left ED out of my mind and have not jumped in since horizons or engineers came out. Hell, mining was still a new thing when I quit and wasn't even considered a viable profession at the time. I do have the lifetime pass from beta so I have all the expansions but I'm horribly out of date with everything, and honestly will probably have to relearn all the basic controls. There's about a 50% chance I'll crash my ship trying to fly it out of whatever space port I'm docked in.

I do have some questions:
1. Could anyone link some good videos/guides that give a decent overview of major changes that have occured? Horizons and Engineers is obvious but I've heard powerplay got some changes as well. Are there any other major existing systems that got overhauled?
2. I'm really excited about multicrew, I do have some friends that played ED in the past with me and that would be just the thing to get us playing together again. What ships support multicrew and which ships support fighter bays? I haven't been able to find a solid answer on those questions.
3. Last time I was on I had an ASP explorer and was making pretty good money bounty hunting, as I grew really board of cargo hauling. Aside from mining are there any new lucrative ways to make money via the ASP?

might have some more questions later, but I would appreciate any info regarding the above.
 
Don't know about unofficial videos but a good place to start might be to read the patch notes. After that check out FD's youtube channel and watch some of the older vids and streams.

No details on multi-crew yet but I don't believe it's ship limited. Fed Gunship, Keelback, Corvette, Anaconda, Beluga, Cutter support fighters (that list may be incomplete).

There's always rare trading for an Asp.
 
federal gunship gets a fighter bay but imperial clipper doesnt? damn, I was only a rank or two away from getting the clipper. Oh well, hopefully there are some more options. I really wold like to avoid trading for money but maybe i'll grind enough to get a python so I can try mining out.
