    No, patrols are open instances.. if other player enters in the same instance, then they are with you..

    BTW, we need a few ground patrols to mix it up a little..

    I've had a couple or three patrols where somebody else was in with me. Didn't mind it. After this long in the game, I can probably carry someone either badly geared or uninformed about how to play the mission in question. It was odd the first time it happened though.

    Have we ever had Ground Patrols? I know about the Ground STFs...err...TFOs and how a great many of the Ground Episodes will let you form a team to play them.

    I would imagine there are a great many Ground missions from the now defunct Foundry which would work well as Ground Patrols. (HINT HINT!)

    The Fed only patrols you could only play once had one or two ground patrols in them IIRC.

    Cryptic has already said this sort of thing wont happen because the way Foundry missions are set up is so fundamentally different code wise that they would have to remake everything from scratch to bring a Foundry mission into the rest of the game.

    Not to mention they would have to get permission from the people who made that Foundry mission due to copyright laws

    Is it a bug or a feature that after I started a new solo patrol, sometimes one or two players join me during patrol? Its annoying :(
    Thanks

    Really? Oh, no. I've never met with it before this event, except Cernan system. I think its a (or one of the) worst feature of the game. Because it needs some places where i can farm mastery xp or test my build without disturbing other players.
    Please add a feature to solo patrols.

    You can solo the Patrols through the UI.

    I have had that happen to me once. Not sure how that happened but it wasn't intentional.

    the old-school one-off patrols were/are also open-teamed. People didn't play them often though.
