Telepresence for exploration

Who else would welcome this feature? I enjoy exploration a lot, but if you're 40,000 light years outside the bubble then you can only do exploration and with the current state of that career, it can become pretty monotonous. Why not allow the player to switch between ships via telepresence? Say you've got a fleet of ships in your home system in the bubble and you take your exploration ship beyond Sagittarius A*, and you're able to switch to another ship to get back to the bubble. Put whatever restrictions on this like data can only be sold by the exploration vessel and materials do not transfer over. Deep exploration isn't about money or materials for me, and if I can speak for the rest of the hardcore explorers, it's not for them either. From what I've read, officially, multiple accounts are discouraged and rightly so because why should anyone buy the game twice in order to enjoy all that it has to offer? I'm not knocking on those who do have multiple accounts though, you can spend your money any way that you see fit but I cannot take that route on principle.

I think that this kind of mechanic would be a very welcome feature to current deep explorers and to those who are on the fence about it due to the nature of the career. Bring down the wall that divides.
 
As I understand it, having several accounts is perfectly valid and not against the EULA. And quite frankly that's what I would use these accounts for but with entirely different CMDRs. For someone who is pretty close to a roleplayer that's more viable than teleporting around.

What Andrew said is what I do too.
 
I wished FD just allowed us to have a couple of CMDRs per account. You could limit the log in to one CMDR at a time to avoid cheating etc. That would avoid the whole telepresence thing which IMO is completely lore breaking for the Elite universe. It open up such a can of worms etc.
 
Fdev adapting one of the new features for exploration? I guess you haven't been around long enough, CMDR! :D
Braben loves to talk about the joys of exploration on every stream, unfortunately, the developers doesn't share his idea for this game. At all.
