Mission sharing
Is there a way to share mission?
And how mission reward works? If 1 wing player has mission and another doesnt have it do u share rewards?

No sharing, no reward splits. They are fully solo tasks

If you're in a wing the mission board gets synced across all wing members, so everyone can pick the same mission. The only thing that changes is individual payout, which depends on either rank or rep, can't remember now. Long as you wing up before taking the mission and all of you are in the same station, you can "share" missions.

This is stupid Why there is no quest sharing? Will there ever be?

Read my post. Unless 2.1 did some heavy changes in that regard, it's how it's been working since 1.6.

And all this has nothing to do with sharing a mission with your wing. If you can't rationally discuss something, don't reply to a post.

Did anyone read my post? Like, at all? Anyone bothered to check if boards are still synced across a wing before starting the whinefest?

Two people can take on two identical missions, unless 2.1 changed it.

Mine have never synced at all, and even if they did it's pretty much a half baked implementation

How is getting two missions for the same thing, to return on the same station, "half baked"?

You can both get the same missions. Friend and I did it last night and it works as expected. However, your payouts might be different based on your rank, rep, etc.

And while it works it still is a poor design for coop.

However as of late Elite has some of the better coop play around. I bought ESO during the summer sale and while that is advertised as an mmo and/or coop it feels nothing like one. All quests are done by each player in the group as if they were in solo. Dialogue takes place only on the local player machine and each player in the group goes through their own dialogue. Doesn't feel right at all.

At least in Elite you somewhat feel like a wing even though there are some poorly designed aspects such as missions, FSD jumps from system to system, wingman nav lock dropping you if you are nav locked and friend goes to SC, wingman nav lock dropping you nowhere near your wingmen, wanted status not being applied across the wing and forcing you to get hit by each wingman in the wing before being able to fire on them and NPCs failing to realize you are a wing.
