first of all, brilliant!! really well done and a real game changer!

now, a few things. spent 4hrs in a res site with my combat fitted cutter, i decided to let my crew fly her while i had fun in the fighter - let me just say that was the best 4 hrs ive spent on ED in ages and thanks for continuing to add great features :) there are a few things that would really enhance the experience.
1- no kill warrent scanner in the fighters!!?
2- my crew ran out of ammo for the muliti cannons and didnt tell me :( ( had to discipline her ;) )
3- when in formation, could you please change it so the crew flys a little above and infront so you can actually see them.
4- sexy voices, ooooo we need sexy voices
5- might be pushing it but skimpy clothes :p

overall a great experience and works very well, great work - keep it comming this game is awesome!!

1.) agreed, a Kill Warrant Scanner would be very nice whilst inside a fighter.
2.) agreed, they should let you know when they're out of ammo so I can switch back and magic up some more
3.) agreed, cuz of dat cutter booty
4.) are you implying I need more than dat cutter booty for muh 'mersion?
5.) see previous response

I've tried a RES run yesterday too and was one of the best moments in my ED career. Truly a game changer. Makes the game so much more alive and involving. The girl flew my overly pimped conda gracefully through the asteroids. And its so satisfying to see your modded ship being controlled by AI and disintegrating other ships at your command :) Btw, if you havent tried yet, go do some planetary exploring with the fighter. Gives a new meaning to Horizons

Yeah the KWS missing is a pain. I have one on my main ship so why can't my pilot scan the target and then notify me in the fighter.

Also it would be good if inactive pilots didn't take a cut of your profits, and I could have fighters in my FDL, which is actually a dedicated combat ship that is relatively more accessible .

What are the heat sinks for on the fighters? Maybe they can generate you a fighter with such a scanner instead the heat sink.
I stopped using said scanner long ago but then I am more in CZ zones and les sin res zones.

I figured that I am a lot less interdicted. Not sure if it is because I changed from the python to the anaconda or because of sw2.2
But since I have the fighter on board I stop for every interdiction and say "oh great...my Crew Needs Training!"

I just had my in CZ almost harmless leveled to competent Crew facing an Elite anaconda pirate that interdicted me while I was in the fighter. She did well.
Wasn't too happy about the fighter thing because now everyone flies those big ships only but it is done very well by FD I have to say!

ahaha im allied with both feds and imps, no real preference to either, i went for the cutter because i couldn't stand flying the conda... about 3wks grinding and grovelling to gain rank but so worth it once you go and pick it up.. mine had a huge pink ribbon round it ;)

Problem with having a KWS on a fighter is that they only have one utility slots. I'd MUCH rather have that utility slots fitted with chaff.

Not sure if this was mentioned yet but currently, I can only set "Active" crew members at the Station.

This feature should be available no matter where the ship is.

Yeah. When I hired Terrence I assumed he'd be on board. By the time I figured he was still at the station drinking up his fee at the local bar I was 8,000 ly away.

I kind of wanted to see NPC pilots sitting in one of the bridge seats beside me but the amount of thirsty teenagers in this thread asking to make sure they have a lot of T n' A makes me feel otherwise now.
