So multicrew doesn't provide any exploration rewards?

I'm confused - I thought multicrew allowed copilots to share the discovery tags and rewards from universal cartography, but that's not what happen when I just tried it. Am I doing something wrong, or is only combat and trading rewarded? If the latter, while ignore one out of the three major rank professions? That doesn't seem right...
 
You should share first discovery etc markers. I know myself and a friend a little while back did some multi-crew exploring for giggles and we both received credit. the biggest problem with multi-crew exploring is being unable to use your SRV's etc. has your friend also handed in their explo data?
 
You're thinking of wing exploration. Multi-crew exploration awards nothing for the crew members, only the host gets the usual tags and credits. Frontier confirmed (after a long while and lots of inquiries) that this isn't a bug.

ah possibly I was winging it then. that seems silly...
 
Well that's really disappointing. Why even bother having "Exploration" as a multicrew category only to show me a report about combat and trade?

I remember those old posts where people said, "Frontier hates explorers." I'm beginning to think that at least the multicrew coders just might!
 
in my experience, MC has been janky and poorly implemented since the start. hopefully, the Oddessy expansion will fix some of it.
 
It is frustrating.

Wouldn't you think that the creative process being asked for was "think of a good idea to spice up gameplay and apply it to all three of the principal gamestyles"?
 
HALF-BAKED! Now I wonder, if I mine some Tritium for my fleet carrier and sell it to my market rather than just transfer it, will my crewmate get a cut of that? Might be the only way my crewmate feels part of this expedition...
 
only if they are in a wing with you, which you can't do in multi-crew...
Okay, next question - is being in a wing ALL that is required? I mean, if a person wings with me and I'm 1000 LY away and discover a new system, do they share that discovery, or do we need to be in the same system at the same time?

that's a good question, I've not tried it. but my instinct says that you both have to be in the same system during the discovery.
 
You need to be winged and in the same instance in the same system. FSSing large systems in a wing is much quicker, especially if you are competitive!

If mapping, you need to be in contact with each other (can see each others marker) otherwise sometimes it doesn't share the FD tags.
