The other option would be.
Give us dedicated server support for group play.
The dedicated server will allow us to play as a group guaranteed, no instance lottery, and the dedicated server could still call home and get up to date info from Frontier
As for the current group system:
Make a group or join your friends group.
When you click play, select <GROUP> and the group name you wish to join.
Then hopefully if you are in the same station/area and you won the National Lottery Jackpot 4 times in a single month, the wind is blowing in the right direction, you have your lucky rabbit foot in your teeth and you crossed all your fingers and toes, you might win the Elite instance lottery you might be able to play together.
My friends and I have never been that lucky.

Wrong.. Its a mainly solo online game with occasional multiplay and an always online DRM
