I don't like it. You know this by now, probably, if you remember what happened in the cadet academy and frankly, even after all that time, little has changed on my opinion on this.
The main problem of mine is still that on a mapping aspect, things are being tried to shrunk down, thus we have a whole area dedicated specificly to 5 people that noone else can realy get to in the middle of nowhere. That is not to say that I don't like the idea of different crews doing different crew stuff, this is to say that the current map is not good for this type of concept. The tether is already too huge as it is. Now if it was a map with 3+ small stations with some outposts thrown around, that could be a fun map concept to explore with the new ship-code but as an addition it just feels bland.
Speaking on the matter of different crew stuff, welcome to corporate regulations, which only applies to the tethers crew and not to crew outside those hired people. Does talon crew count as visitors? What if no heads are online to give the code out and they just force their way in somehow, is it now piracy? Who knows, regulations have not been updated for this and it gives me a headache everytime talon-crew decides they want to stay on the tether and noone can give them the docking codes.
Next comes that the talon regularly has nothing to do, thus the tightly knit group of spacecrew badasses just sits on their ass in the bar, doing nothing. Sometimes even in the tethers bar. At that point, the entire point of the talon went out of the window.
That's more or less my 3 big main problems right now. Some of those can be easier fixed than the others and from what I've read in the thread so far, I'm not the only one who at least thinks in the same direction.
TL;DR, map feels not suited for it (yet), corporate regulations/SoP is not updated on what to do with talon crew should they do crime, talon needs something more concrete to do.
