question about co op

[StarryEyes]

was thinking about getting this game with a friend but i remember there being an issue with mercenaries that didnt allow your co op partner to edit their mechs like the host could. i think they may have added a feature where the host could enable it but it dint always work? Found lots of conflicting info regarding that. Read somewhere thet tyou needed mods to allow your co op partner to edit their mech.

SO.. how does this work in clans co op? can my xo op partner have full access to the mech lab and edit their mech just as the host can?

I havent done any Co op, But from what i heard , , The host is the only one that can choose the mech your for player 2, no editing.

Edit...
You cant believe everything you hear :)

Yes, kinda surprising. I've played a good couple of missions with other people. Your friend can change the mechs.

Also there was a problem of not being able to switch pilots. Hotfix 2 fixes that, so you can switch pilots now.

I can confirm my coop-joiner was able to buy mechs, mech equipment and, mech upgrades without any issues.

afaik the only issue is that he has to buy equipment manually, aside from that "mechlab" works fine

whereas you yourself can just equip something you have no stock off and it automatically gets bought.

This ^^^

I've been playing co-op with my son, and the guest is able to buy mechs, customize, purchase weapons, level up pilots and chassis, etc.

IMO the guest has too much control :-)

Only bug in customization I remember is when assigning fire groups, they were not sticking, I had to redo it when mission starts.

So the bug from launch is fixed where you co-op mates would switch around randomly piloting different mechs.
