So uh, multicrew on small ships is basically a bit pointless?

Don't get me wrong, the update looks slick as hell and very lovely. None of it is really my cup of tea but hey; I'm not going to grumble about that. I fully understand that not every update has to suit every player.

What I don't understand is what multicrew does for ships like say uh, the Cobra Mk 3; that most iconic of Elite ships. Was it really so impossible to invent a reason to bring a friend along in a ship like that? Seems like multicrew has been invented purely for the big, slow, tanky ships.

Anyway there's been too many posts tonight, so apologies for creating yet another one. Can't help but hope that there's something else left to reveal that answers my concerns though

Edit: You know what would make the most sense? A navigator role. A true co-pilot role. That would be nice.
