Within SQ42, will players be able to interact with other players in the bar or other public areas on the ship to swap combat stories or look for a potential PC wingman for the rest of their mission?I think this would be a great in-lore way of handling the PC wingmen mechanic you described.asked by SmartAce

Not within Squadron 42, but definitely that's what we plan for the Persistent Universe of Star Citizen.Squadron 42 is much more a focused, Wing Commander, narrative story, and so the co-op will be on some selected missions where your friends can join you and help you try and beat certain missions. But it's not that your friends also are hanging out on the ship involved in the story as you're going along, 'cause that's really hard to do.You can't tell 4-5 narrative stories all at the same time, 'cause it's usually always focused around the protagonist, which is you the player. It is a cool idea, but it is actually the way that we're going to allow you to find, meet people, for the Persistent Universe, it's exactly how SmartAce suggests.
