Will it be posible to join online games with random people? 20 random players on the same ship for example(or whatever number needed to play a decent sized ship) or do you need to have a team /group of friends to play?
In that last scenario I'm f**kt
Thank you for the kind words!
About multiplayer... In our first release, the game will act much like a traditional deathmatch/matchmaking system you might find in any FPS. This will put you in with other random people, or you can join the same server as your friends of course.
In future, the plan will be to have a more persistent singular world, and at this time your crew would either be paid AI seamen, friends you've invited on board to assist, or other players who are looking for work aboard your ship. Of course, they will expect some share of any prizes you might capture in return
