It's very likely just an illusion - humans are quite good in detecting patterns and true randomness tends to create "patterns", so it may appear like there is some system behind it while it's truly just RNG. Of course, all the spawn conditions (presence probability on certain surface areas, etc.) as Sampi described aside, as it's affecting things a lot.

I just tested multi-crew (telepresence) with a second account on my husband's PC. Here's what I found:

  • The crew can see the pilot's holo-me, but the pilot sees the crew only as generic opaque-helmeted avatars.
  • The crew can't see any ship customizations. The pilot's ship will appear in default livery without decals, name or ID.
  • Credits earned from missions during the multi-crew session will not be shared.

It's no surprise that few people use the telepresence feature any more. Without any sharing of rewards, there really is no point in it. And why do the crew holo-me's not show any more? Wasn't that the whole point of making a "holo"-me in the first place?

Multi-crew telepresence was hardly used before odyssey released. Now they nerfed it? Wow.....

wtf - HIP 36601 - C5a is supposed to be Technetium crystal shard moon - i'm getting all sulfer ?!

Uiilwtf - HIP 36601 - C5a is supposed to be Technetium crystal shard moon - i'm getting all sulfer ?!

Well, according Inara's record, Technetium is just 0.4% and Sulphur 27.1% there, so it seems to fit?
You can try Iah Lanitei C 1 or q Velorum A or other bodies with Technetium at 1.5% and similar level.

Was in Horizon 4 - exited and relogged in horizon 3.8 - crystal shards were back to all Technetium

I can only report, that I've visited all crystal shard areas in Odyssey aswell.
Due to the new surface generator, you might have just been unlucky.
Every now and then, a change of about 100 km to a different area should do the trick.

So far, I've found every place of crystal shards working as usual, just like before.
I even prefer Odyssey now, since it's no longer the mindless "log-in-and-out" game, but you can now rather just drive further along the surface from one "shard forest" to the next.
Yeah, I know, log-in-and-out is faster, but now it feel way more realistic.

And experimental weapons effects dont work.

I decided to play miner- I took the wing mission for 226 tons of gold. Somehow I don’t really want to mess around for a whole week, and even alone. Anyone want to join? 48kk or Exquisite Focus Crystals & 46kk

Missions can be shared with others within the multicrew. After completion you'd have to travel to pick up the rewards by yourself. If MC host does not share, there is no reward. It was like that to me yesterday. Can somebody confirm?

AFAIK only wing missions can be explicitly shared, and MC is not a wing. MC does seem to get a share of bounty vouchers but not much else. So there's basically no way to share rewards of passenger missions with MC.

That's what I thought as well. I don't know what my MC host did, but I got his mission both before and after closing telepresence in my own transactions tab. It remained there until I made the trip to the station and pick up my reward from the bulletin board. So I got my share of bounties during telepresence and a nice 10 million reward on top of that for a session that lasted about 30 minutes. Just when you thought you knew everything about this game. :-I

I'm a bit far away (im guessing your location), so no, I don't want to help. However I would remind you that if all else fails you could buy the gold, should be able to get it for about 10million still giving you a good profit. The trade route search on here works well for this sort of thing.
