Some questions about Multiplayer and one discovered bug

[Patsche]

Hey guys,

I love playing Evochron Mercenarys but i discovered some issues.

First i want to ask in general, if it is possible to form up a group, so you can see the other players highlighted on the nav map or something, i thought it is really hard to find each other, maybe i'm just missing something?

Another thing i am very confused about is the LAN mode, which i tried first after confincing my brother to buy this awesome game

First it seemed to work, because he could join my session with no problem, but when meeting up i was very surprised about his appearance. His ship was just looking like one of the big ones, but still navigating like a common ship, what looked really funny, but made it nearly impossible to play together. This happened while i used the ingame function "host and play".

Here is a screensot from his ship, which only appeared to me like this:

Hope you can help me

At last we can fly a capital ship in Lan mode, what a fantastic update !:D;)

Hi Patsche, welcome to the game and forum!.....Hope to see you out there some time!.....

I experienced that same bug of some one flying a capital ship once. I think this happens when you join a multiplayer game session and a Capital ship appears by accident at the exact same coordinates as that of the other player. So the other players ship is actually inside the games generated capital ship. The person inside the capital ship will not see that he is in side it! And only you will see him as flying a Capital ship!....:P

ok that would also explain why this bug happened twice, we didn't save and i just reopened the server, so we had the same positions, just as the capital ship, thx

I also figured out how to "team up" with clan tags.

Did you also figure out how to assign a turret gunner.
