Loving the game so far, I've reached level Lt. 10 so should be getting my tier 2 ship soon enough! However, I've only been grouped with 'real' players 3-4 times so far, every other time I've just had my away team and NPC's. Is there a setting I need to adjust so that I auto-team more? It feels like I'm playing a single player game only bumping in to people between missions at the moment... it's also making some of the missions REALLY hard as I'm taking on dozens of ships and mobs on my own (with a little help from my Del Taco shuttle

)
Thanks!

If you really want a group.. make one. Use the search feature.. ask in zone, send tells.. Its really not to hard to find a team or get a couple people to join you if you just ask
Other than that, like most MMO's you rely on Zone chat, the Team Finding screen (have not used this, personally), a buddy list, or a fleet.
