I really don't like driving, steering, and shooting at the same time.
When are multi-crew SRV's coming?
- Thread starter amadeus1171
- Start date
Another simple add-on that can improve gameplay tremendously. Right now the 4 slot SRV is underused. Mainly because one is enough. But there's been times at ruins I'd wished I had a few other players to help test theories out. Or perhaps for even races to break up monotomy.
Again this would be an awesome addition to improve the fairly new multi-crew and something that most of all mechanics are already programmed in game.

Next week. I could be lying though.
Maybe never.
Being able to MC the ship with the gunners or fighter pilot in the SRV would be a good start.
As would wing/MC mixtures ^^
Most likely answer : never or far down the line.

Ah yes a space tank thread. Love it.
No idea why multicrew isn't a thing for SRVs already. My dropship carries 4 but I can only deploy 1, what gives?
As for a two seater space tank SRV thing, I already ran the numbers in a different thread. Some real life armoured fighting vehicles (basically small tanks) are smaller than the SRV so they'll fit through the bay doors. SLF have fed, imp and allianceish versions. We could have the same with this with balancing between them. Obviously the second seat and larger turret would take up the cargo space but that seems a fair compromise which would keep the SRV relevant.

It's crazy this wasn't part of multicrew from the start.
Technical issues around instancing I suspect.
Also, the slight oddness that would happen when you collect materials, with your telepresence self... what happens, do you somehow get them? (from across the galaxy?) does the helm get them? (and how does that feel to the guy in the SRV collecting them?)

Like the gunner role in the mothership, a second crew member in the srv would potentially have a lot of downtime. No worse than for the mothership though and that made it into the game so it's not a reason for this not being put in.
I have a ship with an SRV bay and an SLF bay. I can multicrew out my slf and if they screw up I (potentially) have plenty of spares. With the SRV I don't, if I lose one it's a Big Deal so to some degree I am happy to restrict that to trusted crew only (ie only me).
What I would really like though, is to be able to have air support via SLF while I'm in the SRV, with the mothership parked (to allow the SRV to return) or hovering nearby (to deploy another SLF if needed).
If the SRV could be resupplied as the SLF can I'd be happy to offer that role to a crew member (or two) while I flew the mothership.
would be nice if my friend could use my SRV while i'm still flying my ship
