There will be some simple melee and coop missions.

You should be able to make your own, though. (And/or others can).  FRED FTW.

We're working on several options for multiplayer at the moment.  The current state of FreeSpace Open netcode is pretty poor though, which makes combat at the increased speeds we use for FotG difficult to impossible.  We're investigating what we might be able to do to fix some of that, because good multiplayer is actually a priority for us as far as giving the mod more longevity.

You REALLY want to make sure FotG delivers a great multiplayer experience?  Go help the SCP guys rewrite the netcode.
