    No to both.

    One player, one ship

    It is a shame. They could have opened up so many possibilities with a cooperative multiplayer ship. With different people manning the different stations it would have made it more interesting.

    Good on paper not so good in action. if one of your bridge officers goes 'afk..bio' in middle of the fight, you are screwed bad.

    However, you can form a team of ships and work together and your friends can join you on your away missions, instead of your crew.

    Edit: And you can invite your friends to join you on your bridge for meetings or just to hang out and roleplay.

    :cool:

    No, you just plug in one of your normal BOs.

    meh..in any mmo, if someone critical in your group/raid goes afk in a fight, you're screwed. Ship or not.

    I wish they would have had a group ship of some kind. Coulda made it an optional guild thing or something.

    When you beam down to Away Missions, your Away Team is either composed of your NPC Bridge Officers (if playing solo), or other player captains (if you formed a team before starting the mission), or a combination of player captains and bridge officers.

    Where would you find someone willing to sit in engineering punching buttons while you sit and order them around?
