2 Player Coop

[DeepInvader]

Hello, WE would Like to Play this Game as 2. WE read that IT IS pretty hard If youbplay only as 2. Can you recommend the Game of we only Play as 2 players?

I'm fairly sure that one of the beginning ships is recommended as 2-3 people, but I'm not sure about difficulty. About to go in as 2 with a friend, I'll let you know if yer still curious in a bit

Oh I'm also curious if it's doable with two players.

I would like to know this as well :-) Sounds like a game my husband and I would enjoy playing together!

[WillRebelForCoffee]

consider me interested as well

Hey hey, I've been playing a fair amount of missions with just 2 people total. It's very doable! The Frigate class ship is specifically made for 2-3 people, it's small, has a very straight-forward layout and is easy to maintain!

[Hatsune Marineku]

2 is totally fine, just use a frigate class ship.

There are some missions that are going to be a little bit rough with only two, because they involve having to EVA out of the ship to open doors, loot, do repairs, etc. Meanwhile the other player can only either pilot the ship or man the guns, and you WILL be getting attacked. You can try to avoid those missions, but you're somewhat at the mercy of RNG when it comes to that. 3 players is kind of the minimum if you want to be fully functional all the time, even with the smaller ship.

This is where I think some very limited AI modules on the turrets could come in really handy, just to fill that gap. If the turrets could auto engage enemies while the person still on the ship could fly (even if they mostly sucked at aiming), it would relieve a lot of the pressure.

[Scarred]

You absolutely can. It's quite difficult tho and needs a lot of communication

[lydocia]

Okay, so my husband will have to do a carry on the difficult missions, got it.

[Liquid Tracer]

I would like to echo the sentiment here It's indeed achievable. Played about 5 hours with 2 players only and while challenging on some mission types we came out on top more than we lost.

It definitely seems balanced more towards having that extra 3rd person around but when you plan around expecting to be outgunned its doable and alot of fun.

My friend and I just tried a Temperance mission with just 2 players and totally got our butts kicked. There is NO real tutorial or help on a first mission. And now we can't do that mission, at least in that game. Any suggestions? I don't see how, even just destroying the Hollow Cores can be done by 2 people. You have 1 pilot and 1 gunner. Not enough people.

It definitely seemed balanced around 3 people, but is possible with 2. I did that mission and we shot the cores and got THE ♥♥♥♥ out. Took like 70% damaged, but survived I suppose. Its rough and could prolly use a bit of 2 player scaling? Or at least a difficulty choice.

Other missions are pretty simple with 2, like the protect one.

[Valinov]

It is very doable with 2, and my second player is a fr*nch, so DEFINITELY doable with 2.

[Trenyt]

Three in a frigate would definitely help a lot, but I've only been playing this with one other friend so far and it is fun and doable. You just need to rethink some scenarios to take that into account.

I just did "Following in Their Footsteps" solo on the large ship.
How do you choose the smaller ship?
