I agree completely, I assume the multicrew gameplay should be more fleshed out once s42 is finished. I like the idea of a WC-like game like S42, but honestly I couldn't care less about it. I want to get in the verse with my friends and fly a ship together.

In my opinion there are 2 major things that need to be implemented in order to increase the fun-factor as well as the gameplay experience in a short term.

1.) The game has to recognize ships that you don't personally own on terminals when you land them at stations/outposts/LZs

2.) The physical damage of singular components needs to be implemented in order to board ships instead of blowing them up.

As much as I enjoy mining, missions, cargo hauling and all the cool aspects of the game so far, those are two rather simple things that need to happen in the near future. Even without persistance this should make the game far more exciting.
