Don't think so. It would probably mean source code editting.

you can do is make ships fall into formation, but then you have to find out how to select the hotspots for formations and lock them into that position, but the ships will not share stats eg. sheild hull and energy

so yeah it might be remotly possible, but any attempt will fall short of being good

Ah well, it was just a thought.

Guys, correct me if i am wrong, but possible modding the view system?

One person has their own cockpit view (pilot) who only has access to say the fixed forward firing guns, and their control is over the flight of the ship.

Second person is sitting in turret view mode, with control of the turret system.

Maybe possible if both players use the same pc, one uses keyboard, the other the mouse, but MP game might be a bit hard. (hope your on good terms with the person on your lap)

Just my $0.02, but it could just be the cardamine talking.

yes you can do that, but the problem is how to seperate the controles for different ositions if you are just using one model.
Dont even THINK about how your all suposed to get in just the one ship.
wtf r u suposed to do? In Battlefield it was easy, you just hop in. But here you buy them on a planet and launch, how can you all buy the same ship?
