Multiplayer - Co-Op Support
Has this been planned?

It's been done for FS2 already, surely it shouldn't take much effort.


I could see if I could do it, even. It isn't much more than adding more player starts and making sure some missions don't do things explicitly for Alpha 1 I guess.

Never make an estimate like this when you have no experience with what is involved.

That would be good.  But it is much more than what you said -- it also requires rebalancing, which is a major task.  For an example, going the other way around, from multiplayer Templar (which was designed for co-op) to single-player Templar, requires significant changes in every mission.

I see,  I forgot that it would end up making the whole thing too easy as well...
