Suggestion: Multiplayer Co-op mode

[MordorTroll]

My Idea is fairly simple, from a features perspective, but it may be difficult to impliment.

To put it simply: multiplayer co-op.

Each player (up to the maximum amount of crew members) would control only 1 of the crew members. The leader (Host) would be able to control his character as well as give orders to CPU characters (if there are not enough players for each crew member)

This would give a good sense of working together and bit of hierarchy as the host would be the "commander kirk" telling everyone what to do and where to be. (but people can disobey )

This game-mode would work great if larger ships get added with large crews of 30+ people (e.g multiple layers with multiple weapons rooms etc) along the line of "Star Trek" Enterprise sized ships.

It is up to the developers to decide the specifics of how it would work, but this is how I thought it might work.

What do you think, would this be good, bad, or need tweeking?

It's far too difficult to implement after they've been developing the game for this long. Too much has been done, and this suggestion would require them to go back and re-do it.

just spitballin as has been said too late to implement, although who knows thier expansion plans (FYI I will pay for expansions )

A 2 ship co-op mode would be cool. you always jump together and a pause for one person pauses it for the other as well. this would allow fighting 2 even 3 enemy ships at the same time. permanently swap crew between ships with teleporters and swap mods as well. One ship goes down you both go down. add some skype and enjoy.

Another would be a survival deathmatch mode, every jump is a random jump so no sector map, you jump as fast or as slow as you like, but after a random amount of time you and the other player jump into the same sector and have a deathmatch with whatever you managed to pull together during the random jumps.

But I'll take more single player modes and 5 new ships models before I'd really want that
