When will grouping up be fixed

[Zarlok]

Greetings Cmdr's.

A group of friends and I started playing this game around 4 weeks ago. As a space sim its fantastic, the realistic speeds planets and systems are great. For the most part the missions are good as well.

Now to Private Groups. Yes we can see each other most of the time (yes our routers have all the correct port forwarding) in Supercharge however once we drop to a nav beacon etc we change instances and can no longer group. It makes impossible to do missions together, we are unable to help each with naval progression, taking out big bounties and bascially any co op work. We have tried logging in and out of the game with little success. And we do meet up its always very hit and miss.

So some questions.

1. When will this be fixed?
2. What ways do others get around this?


Thanks for your help. Cheers

Update 1.1, due in mid-February, will fix/improve a lot of the grouping mechanics.

Update 1.2, due in March, will add 'Wings' (groups of up to four players for now) and should allow for group missions/bounty huntings/piracy etc..

Guesswork isn't it?

That's what I want too; go out into space with some friends etc etc.
