Keeping teams together in missions

Our group/fleet has been having one hell of time keeping our group/team/fleet together (same instance that is) when entering missions. Last night, we tried to get a team of 4 into a patrol/enemy signal contact intact. We were all within .3LY in sector space, hit enter near the same time, and no less than 6 times in a row we were split up among separate instances. Nearly took us longer to warp in, realize we were split up, warp out, try again, multiple times, than it did to complete the mission.

Back in beta, there was a check box option to force the game to ask you what instance you wanted. Haven't been able to find this option since release (guessing it was taken out). Are we missing some other tool or technique to keep our team together for a mission?

    Until they fix it, for DSE missions you can change instances by going to your map and selecting it. For a standard mission, I'm not sure what you can do until they fix it other than trying over and over again.

    Here's what you do...

    Team up (not just be in a fleet)

    Turn off open grouping...

    Enter instance...

    If you are separated, use your map and change instances to match the group leader.
