Questions About Team Play/Multi-Crew and Rewards (Bounties, materials, missions, ect)
Real quick...

If you have someone flying with you in your ship, how are payouts distributed? Just to the ship owner/pilot? Or shared?

What about having someone in a turreted mining ship blasting away and helping to collect material to sell. How is that shared? What if you have a wingman and both are focusing on targets for bounties...is the one who gets in the final blow the only one who gets the credits? How about exploration and turning in cartography data?

Thanks!

Selling things earns trade dividends that needs to be picked up manually on the station.
Wing/multicrew payouts are earned evenly, be it missions or bounty hunting.
Exploring in a wing shares the data so can be extremely efficient.

Regarding bounties, as long as you and your wingmate get a couple of shots on the target, you both get the full bounty of the enemy.
That combined with stacking "Wing massacre" missions can make you and your buddy a heck of a lot of credits with low risk
For example you pick 3 Wing massacre missions to kill 10 "Bad Pirates" for 10mil, and so does your friend, you both get 60mil for killing just 10 pirates plus full bounties, not to mention you will get the kills a lot faster.

Multi-crew, when it works, pays out each crew member, but they have to claim their reward when kicked out of multi-crew... I mean, when you or they are done with the multi-crew session. Fines are likewise divided among crew members - though they do have the option to decline their "reward" and simply skip out on the fines.

Wings are a little different and actually tend to work, and yes, either pay out trade dividends, or Bounties as long as they score a few hits. It's been so long since I've even seen another player I really don't recall any of the specifics, but I think the payout for bounties is somewhat proportional to the damage done... but it's been at least two years since I've even seen another player - been out on the rim of the galaxy.
