I have to regrettably disagree with that statement.Coops said There was nothing stopping you guys forming teams (if you know how and I know some of you do). But this was for fun, so I'll let it go...
I have managed to get both my Mechs to run as a team in seeker mode on occaision, but I can see no way to have 3 or 4 mechs doing the same thing which the pirate were managing at one point and using defensive mode at that.
After all any one of our mechs will view all but at most ONE mech as an enemy and attack if they enter the same grid square, the pirates could in theory (and a lot of luck even for theory) get every mech they own into the one grid and moving in virtual synch.
