Players in Elite Dangerous have reported a multi-crew issue preventing co-pilots from launching the Nomad SRV. Despite having a class 7 mkII vessel hangar equipped with two Nomads and granting all crew permissions, some commanders find their partners unable to deploy the Nomad from the multi-crew interface. The system only offers the gunner role, which does not permit SRV piloting, and no option exists to assign the necessary role for launching the Nomad. This limitation or bug restricts cooperative gameplay involving SRV deployment in multi-crew sessions as of late July 2026.
- Issue affects Nomad SRV deployment in multi-crew mode.
- Only gunner role available, blocking SRV piloting permissions.
