Is not being able to team for patrols anymore as intended?

I tried to play patrol missions not just the new ones but also the old ones in team or private party but every time i launched it ended up being in there by myself. Is that as intended?

    You can teamup and play them together.

    Whats new is that everybody in team will have to select and engage the patrol on his/her own after teamup. All members in team who do will end up in the same patrol instace then.

    Unlike PvE a teamleader cannot line up the whole team for it. No idea if it's WAI but at least one can play the new stuff with his friends. :)

    Thanks, do you team up or do you open a private group?

    I did it via old fashion teamup with my fleetmates. Then everybody selects the same patrol and enters.

    Will try out private as well tomorrow in order to get kdf and fed in same patrol but have no clue if it works.

    Private doesn't work but team up works if all go in there manually, not the best solution at hand but then I didn't expect them to do miracles.

    It's always been that way with the old patrols - IE you're in a team, but everyone needs to click on Enter Star System prompt on their own to be put into the instance.

    Don't knpow how the new system works WRT being teamed and the Leader clicks as I haven't tried any of the new patrol content as part of a team as yet.

    Just now I somehow ended up teamed with someone in a patrol. Didn't chose to, it just happened.

    Could be "open teaming" (just speculating)

    Clarification edit: I meant, beside the obvious screen O/privacy -> team settings (where you can set some options, one of which is open team), you can be in Open Teaming mode in LFT Settings (O/privacy -> team settings -> LFT Settings) without even noticing. This happened to me before.

    So did I, yesterday. I still got the credit and points I needed, so that was okay. Sometimes on the Rom patrols I didn't get the stuff if I was put in with someone else.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D
