Why is there still no REAL multiplayer?

There is still no REAL multiplayer. The only thing you can do together is flying arround at supercruise and meet in front of stations. There is NO possibility to make an ingame-group. There is no way to fight together, there is even no way to fly together to the same unidentified singal. Its sad. It should be able to interact more than only chat with each other. There is no way to trade with players either. WHY?

THIS GAME WILL DIE IF YOU DONT MAKE THIS POSSIBLE, ITS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN WALKING ON STATIONS OR LAND ON PLANETS!

Its still impossible to play this game really together. Maybe just like you can play skyrim together. You can just talk about it, thats all...

Gamers, players, commanders HEAR MY CALL: RISE your voice! Show Frontier that YOU want a game where you can really fly together and interact. Just copy, paste and post below:
------------------------------------------------
Dear Frontier,
please fix this, please dont let Elite die! Please hurry and implement REAL multiplayer interaction!
Thank you.
-------------------------------------------------

Just to show them thats important. I know there are plans, but there where plans at the beginning and until this point, there is nearly no happening.

I didn't know this was the case because I can't play until they remove the buzzing static background noise when engines are activated, if this is the case then it's really sad and the game will take a nosedive in popularity really fast. Can't believe they didn't implement this already for launch, hope they do so soon.

Well I've managed to go dogfighting with a group of guys in the Mobius group. Teaming up over TS and hunting targets together. It is possible.

As a matter of fact where can i find any info on incoming features and plans for the future of E:D.

Fly safe,

There's a thread dedicated to archiving planned features of the game.

Correction. They removed the development archives. So you can't read them no more :(

Yeah, "REAL" man play "REAL" multiplayer :)

Seriously, devs are on it. By the way, I am not entirely convinced people even understand that Wings won't guarantee dropping out from supercruise at same time.You will need to organize, as you do know - you will have much easier time to find your wing members though, which I think is very important feature by itself.

They wont remove it because it doesn't exist (on purpose) I think you may be experiencing a bug between your audio card/software and the game-audio, check it's not adding post-processing effects like a base booster or something. If not submit a bug ticket with details of your setup and hopefully they can fix it for you.

hahah RISE UP HEAR MY CALL.... *tumbleweed*

I agree the multiplayer really sucks in this game, was looking forward to playing this with 4 of my buddies.. but so far the game feels like its doing everything it can to not let us have fun. Example I got interdicted by an npc and a mate followed into the fsd wake to see me shooting a non existent ship. It would be great if we could have joined bounties/missions or even npc kill credit.

Yea the game looks good n all, and yea 400 billion systems welll done, but its blandy mc blanderson at the moment. Hope the devs have a nice deserved Christmas break though!

Actually, some of that isn't even true, it's just not that widely known:
- You can meet up with a friend at a nav point or extraction zone and bounty-hunt or mine together. (Doesn't always work, granted.)
- You can follow a friend (or actually any ship) around by targeting their FSD wake rather than trying to reach the same destination independently; for low-energy FSD wakes (which are from Supercruise entry or exit) you don't even need an FSD wake scanner.
- To trade, you can meet up and drop cargo for another player to scoop up. The "abandon cargo" function was implemented specifically for this purpose.

That aside, as has been said already, FD have the "wings" mechanism high on their agenda, which is intended to make all this simpler and more reliable.

Why are there so many things that "devs are on" when this is not a beta game, this is a 1.0 full release
Shouldn't this stuff be lie, part of the game already? Especially something as important as functional co-op and all of the blatant bugs?

I don't think the game will die, I think a few will leave or be disappointed.

True it's barebones but Frontier will improve and develop it soon.

Remember Elite is about your story first then others.... try communicating with other players on here or Facebook and focusing on working for a system to try and force political change. Theres currently an Alliance effort going on to over throw Feds in a certain location. It's not group multiplayer but its certainly fun working with others.
