Hi Guys,
i have been around since alpha and saw the game progress slowly. I think the release version was pretty solid, but one thing.
Multiplayer.
I know dozen of people complain about multiplayer not available at all due the lack of tools. But my question is have you
tried to play together? Whats your experience?
Here is mine:
I tried to do something usefull with my brother, since missions can not be shared we try to do bounty hunting etc one help the other
and vice verca.
I feel thats really hard to not possible at all. Except by stopping by looking at each others ship not much else works.
Try: we fly around supercruise check for some baddies... we locate one.
One is interdicting sucessfully. Now the other try to close in on the cloud and stop there too, kinda difficult if you too close.
Finally i arrive the battlefield... but wait.. i could not see any other than my brothers ship. The "enemy" was not visible for me
i just notice the laser and gunfire of my brothers cobra. When the other ship was killed i got an incoming comm: "cant not be..." with no sender attached.
Ok we try another... This time he interdicts and enters the fight, but the target ship is still on my target and continues its travel for me.
So my conclusion in the current situation not much possible. Or we had bad luck... we try a couple times with same outcome.
What's your experience? How do you play together?
