So I burned out on the main game before Horizons came out and I'm still generally one of the people who griped about the lack of depth to most of the content. The general response to Engineers I saw in this thread was that it added new stuff to do but didn't fundamentally change the game experience for people like me, but if multicrew works out and they've generally improved the multiplayer aspects of the game such that playing with friends is both practical and rewarding I'd probably be interested again. Any news on general coop support?

Any news on general coop support? So like.. Take a fully weaponized D rank anaconda with a 6A FSD and it can only jump about 22-25ly. So I take this thing to an engineer and in about 10 minutes the beast of a ship, literally untouchable, has a reinforced D rank shield, dirty thrusters, and a new jump range of 37-39ly. It is huge game changer because I'm now basically flying a dreadnaught with the jump range of an Asp. I think multi crew is going to make this game so good. The frog goons flying together w/ fighters and ships is just going to be phenomenal fun. I really need to join the frogs.

The rift has a setup screen with a vertical and horizontal bar. So when it's the clearest it means everything is aligned properly Like I said before I simply don't know what the baseline is for blurriness and such , maybe it's as good as its going to get I just expect too much coming from a 2d 1440p monitor ?

I don't notice it much in other games , but I thihk because of the way the Hud works combined with lighting it really amplifies it in elite It's kind of like 3d movies you notice how strange it looks for the first 10 minutes but once you're into it you stop noticing and just enjoy the experience

Any reactions to multi crew from here? The elite forums and reddit have a number of people saying it is incredible and they are speechless at how cool it is. A lot of connection problems right now though. Also, I guess nebulas got a kick up in their graphics in 2.3. http://imgur.com/a/8McWC

So you have to be in a wing to do multicrew. Is it possible for example to have a pilot and a gunner in four ships, with the pilots all being in a wing?

Trip report from playing multicrew with a friend of mine: It owns bones (when it isn't crashing). Turrets have instant travel time when controlled by a player and a lock on style that ignores chaff. Gunners can easily have 100% time on target when the third person aiming reticle which fixes the problem that AI turrets currently have (they are awful at tracking moving targets). It's easy to look at the damage difference between turrets and fixed/gimbal weapons on coriolis and dismiss turrets due to having lower 'DPS', but in reality player turrets are very competitive due to the aforementioned time on target. We even had some really successful PVP encounters vs other Engineered players outside of The Dweller's home. The third person perspective gunners have really helps drive the sense of scale and detail that Elite has. Being stuck in the pilot's seat already feels so restrictive to me.

If you're flying a ship that can mount one, put the 2 bay hanger on your ships. Waiting for a fighter to respawn from the single bay is boring as h*ck. Edit: you're going to want to double up on fighters because both human crew can fly one

So is it possible to have another player fly a fighter, and have you, the owner of the ship, fly another fighter while your AI crew member flies the main ship?

Is it possible to bring two friends into multicrew, have two of you hop in fighters and one in guns, and have an AI pilot the main ship for your gunner? Or do the AI count against your multicrew crew limit of 3. On a related note, which of the fighter capable ships that can actually fight (big three and gunship, I think?) has the best turret sightlines?

I wish FD would just add a proper system for racing. All the assets for it are in place (driving around outposts and surface stations in a srv is fun) and people are unofficially doing those already. Looking at that trailer really makes me wonder why they aren't doing it. Low G planet, in a canyon racing next to a red dwarf or neutron star in the background. If you get bumped hard enough you fly off into space. ughhhh fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Mar 10, 2017 |

I think you can leave the ship without a pilot and leave an NPC as a gunner, or something along those lines.

I've heard this mentioned a bit recently, and I've had this happen myself when switching instances to find missions. I noticed that it mostly happened when I had gone through Open->Private->Solo and then back to Open again in a short time. I'm wondering if it might be either an intentional but undocumented design flaw to discourage mission stacking, or a bug related to relogging into a different Open instance before the mission set has changed.

Beta-havers, what kind of Corvette loadout do you think would be most fun for the gunner role? I'm thinking efficient beams and high capacity guided missile launchers for variety's sake. Give the person minimum downtime and some interesting choices to make during fights.

Also considering the lack of C4 turrets I think either the Anaconda or the Cutter are more "gunner-friendly".

Can't imagine why since it seems like the fighter con doesn't really get to do anything they couldn't have more fun with by just being in their own ship. The extra pip they provide doesn't even affect their own gameplay. I think they should at least get command of the NPC pilot to give them something else interesting to manage.

They get to play with friends and make a lot of money. A combat ship plus two human fighters puts out a lot of damage.
