In the Dogfighting Module, will we be able to have our friends join us on our bigger ships? It would be great to test out crew cohesion.asked by Baron Brewzer

So yes, I totally agree, I definitely would, we're definitely going to let you. When we have big ships in the dogfighting alpha, your friends will join and that will do the whole part of the co-operative stuff. In the very beginning, the very first release of the Dogfighting Module we won't have the bigger ships. Mainly because most of them haven't been built yet, I mean the Constellation is the biggest one right now. So the ships themselves in the dogfighting, there's a lot more assets that have to be built besides what you've seen in the hangar. So there's a vast amount of damage modeling and states, there's equipment that goes on the ships, shield meshes, so there's a huge amount of assets that are built. So what's going to be constraining us in the Dogfighting Module is how fast we can get the assets done. So the plan is in the beginning that you start in single seated dogfighting stuff, the Hornet, maybe a couple of the other ones like the 300i and the Aurora, and then as the assets come on line, as we finish off all the damage pieces, all the rest of the stuff, then we'd fold them in. So I wouldn't expect the bigger ships to be in the Dogfighting Module, it won't be in the first release and may not be in the second, but probably some time around mid-next-year we'd hopefully be having battles where you'd have a bunch of people on a Constellation or an Idris against a bunch of people flying other kinds of ships. Yeah, definitely. That's a big draw, that's the thing for me that I'm most excited about doing. Playing this game where I can run around and man a turret inside a gun when someone else is doing a strafing pass in their fighter. So I'm working on that. That will be in as soon as humanly possible, let me put it that way.
