Multi-Pilot ship suggestion

I would like to suggest a new ship, a multi-pilot ship.

Navigation (flying the ship around) done by one player

Weapons controlled by 1 or more players depending on ship size

Defensive systems like armor and shield modules controlled by 1 or more

EWAR controlled by 1 or more

For best performance the players controlling the ship would need to communicate and work in synergy so it would require some skill. As for boarding and leaving the ship only pilot (one in charge of navigation) couldn’t leave outside a special docking station that needs to be anchored in space like pos structures and the ship could only be boarded while it’s at one of those docking stations. A fitting name for it could be Athena for the strategy feeling.

No. There is nothing in eve that would require such ship and no need for that type of junk

It would be a nice addition to expand the game.

Be sure to add the part about some of those additional players fly frigate sized ships out of hanger bays.

It had been mentioned almost yearly that I can remember.

Sick, now I have even less buttons to push. What an improvement to gameplay.

Multi-crew was a neat gimmick in Elite Dangerous too, and it did provide some minor buffs, but at the end of the day it was just taking away something that you were more than capable of handling in addition to piloting. Its more fun to both fly a ship each than to have a singular function to push and nothing else to do.

So player A presses button 1.
Player B presses button 2.
Player C presses button 3.
Player D presses button 4.

Why do I need other pilots in my ship for this?

more pods to destroy in one ship

Actually, that is an interesting thought

I would prefer being able to have Frigates or Destroyers (maybe even cruisers) dock into a Carrier and be able to deploy from that carrier. Allowing it to jump with friends onboard. I do not believe that is currently in the game (correct me if Im wrong)

simply not possible with POS spaghetti code, they even telling the shared containers in station is not possible and that is only work with tables in database
