Don't forget multi-crew is potentially opening a form of "pay to win"...? You can buy a second (or third account) and sit AFK players in your main account's ship and get additional pips.
ie: Would you rather farm a RES with a 4-0-2 configuration, or 50% or a 100% more weapon energy? Would you rather be chased by a pirate (or gankers) with 0-4-2 or 50 to 100% more weapon energy?
When asked about this in a live stream, Sandro seemed fairly dismissive of the concern?
