Looks interesting.

So, other folks can ride in your spacecraft while you fly at the helm?

New roles: Gunner and Fighter

That would be pretty cool to have multiple gunner stations on the same spacecraft.  Like on the Millennium Falcon on the gunner stations shooting down tie-fighters.

Is the above description of gunner correct?

Are the 'Fighters' infantry dismounts?

I've just updated ED with new 'The Commanders' update!

As far as I can tell you can have a multi-crew with:

Commander (pilot), who controls the ship including power management to systems, engines and weapons.
Gunner who is fixed on gun positions.
Fighter who pilots onboard small fighter ships which are deployed by the Commander if under attack!

Don't forget this adds to the ability to form a 'Wing' or squadron of buddies who could also be multi crewed!

The only worry for me is that to have a ship big enough to carry fighter ships, you have to have invested huge amounts of time and cash. There is a lot to loose.

I think the best approach would be to play in a private group like Mobius where players only attack AI. Maybe that is just me speaking as a lone wolf trader and explorer!

It is an exiting development though!

To change the topic slightly, I have taken the plunge and entered the world of VR gaming with Oculus Rift! OMG OMG OMG! Elite is another world (and Assetto Corsa) There is a drop in quality but there is just no going back. The immersion is astounding. I would recommend it to everyone who loves gaming. So far, I have just used sims like driving and flying. Not tried shooters yet.
