Crew Stopping Confuses New Players

[Deantwo]

It seems that a lot of new players are confused as to why their ships traveling to explored space stop while they're avatar is offline.

A small easy solution could be to have it be part of the ship's welcome back message that the ship sends on the crew channel. Maybe something along the lines of:

Code:

... Welcome back commander. We could not continue with the travel order into to unknown space while you were not actively on the ship.

They can also mention something in the ship log mails, simply add a line like: "Couldn't continue order without an online avatar."

The biggest issue I have with this is how the crew is supposed to actually lore-wise react to an avatar being offline. Not a big issue I know, but it just bugs me.

Better explanation of ship colliding with black mater should also be there. I rage quit back in 2011 for not understanding this. I comeback some month after.
