When can we expected a more rounded multi-crew expierence?

TL;DRThe speakers acknowledge a large backlog of multi-crew improvements and a new European vehicle team helping, but give no date, answering only a joking "soon™".

So the good news is we know all about that. We have it actually in our big gigantic backlog. And our backlog has a bunch of stuff, like how we want to give players control. Like if we have a pilot and I have a co-pilot, I want to give this guy the services and go, "Hey, you can have this now." And we have even more crazy stuff, like how power, heat and all that balance stuff could go. And it's just a gigantic thing in our backlog. But because it's in our backlog, it's going to take time to get to those things. The good news is we actually have a European vehicle team now run by a guy named Paul A. He is taking a lot of the pressure off of our end to look into those things, so that we cooperate and build these things so that we can get to them. So to go back to your question of when: soon™.

He's awesome. And we actually had him here for a week in LA to get him up to speed so that he could take over some of these things.

Yeah, this is one of those things happening. Remember, the feature survey that's up on the website now allowing you to vote: right now the frontrunner is the Item 2.0 feature improvements and stuff. And these are the kind of things that will go directly to the sort of thing that we're talking about right now. So we know it's coming. We're working on it. But it's just too early to say when. The question was essentially a when question, and we're not going to be able to give you a when just yet. But we're on it.
