Multiplayer: no progress and resources (therefor no new research) for invited friend

[ÜBER⊂klaus]

I really like this game but one thing is a little bit frustrating.

I just started this game, so I have no maps unlocked, no research unlocked. Then I invited my friend who is also new to this game (no unlocks). We played some maps together and enjoyed the game, but just me the host is making ingame progress. I can research new things and start new maps.

The main problem is that my friend can't build new unlocked things, there's an ever greater in game difference building up between us.

To prevent this we would have to play everything again with him as host (which doesn't work because there's a steam error that prevents me from accepting his invitation, the button appears not, only the message that i was invited).

It would be nice if there could be a mode in which the progress is shared.

For me and my friend we both get to unlock stuff when playing coop online. We both get the progress and dont need to play anything multiple times.

Everything you get is only for you, anything you research is yours not the hosts everyone can research whatever they want, the same goes for maps you get the stuff you need for maps and YOU unlock them not the host not anyone else, and the error probably is portforwarding me and my friend had the same problem.

What about in 6.0?

[LOGMA]

For 6.0 as far as I am aware from what I've played with, each player has their own resources for unlocking, so long as they have sectors in their own campaign providing them. If a player has no sectors in their own campaign providing resources, they get none, unless the resources are sent via a launch pad in multiplayer.

Ah, thank you.
