"Linking" up?

Hi,

Somewhat new to the game. My son and I play over our network, but I can't seem to find any way to form some sort of clan or team up in some way... can somebody provide instructions? There doesn't seem to be anything in the controls either except the num pad minus key, which apparently makes something briefly flash on the screen and disappear.

It seems there is no real instructional to be found on this... help?

Thanks!

afaik, clan is just [clantag] before your callsign, ie, if I'd want to be in a clan with my friend, we'd just change our callsigns to "[HerpDerp] Malix" and "[HerpDerp] MyFriend"

and there is no party functionality in the game, you automatically share quests if you accept them and are in same sector with each other.

Though I really wish Vice would implement a feature which would allow players to join a fleet with each other (unless this is already in the game, its been a while since I last visited mp)

Hi and welcome.

You are doing coop contracts if you are in the same sector when one of you accept a contract.

If you want to have a clan, both of you need to add [clanabbr] to your profiles. (Mine is [HB] SeeJay)
That way you will be green to each other.

You can also link your ships together and one pilots (and use your weapons) while the other is his gunner (using laser/guns)
To link up.
- Target each other and press F4.
- The Gunner clicks on "Connect Gunner Binding".
- Off you go for great fun combat missions.

Hope this helps a bit.
