I Wish this Game Had Co-op

[Mythos]

It will probably never happen, but how cool would it be if you could manage your empire with a buddy? It would probably have to be the two of you controlling the same empire much like how Anno 1800 works (I can't imagine two separate empires being viable without tons of slowdown).

One of you could be running missions while another works on building a station. Or maybe you team up to try to tackle harder combat missions designed around co-op for a challenge?

I just think it could be really neat.

Keeping another client up to date on the state & movements of every single ship/station/asteroid in real time would be a nightmare.

While I would love co-op... I remember the last time players asked Egosoft for co-op. They gave us ventures, and then took it away again, (likely) never to return.

I'd love a co-op X4 (or X5, as shoehorning MP into an SP game is a p.i.t.a), but I think Egosoft lacks the expertise to make it work.

Exactly. They should do, what they do best. Maybe someday it is possible to MOD a COOP Mode. Just think of some games that are hyped right now and lost 90% of their MP Players in a very short time. And there are sadly to fiew players who like to play and hang out with friends for a long period of time which would be neccessary for X.....

Although there would be the possibilty of a asynchronos type of Multiplayer. Just think of a mostly Single Player X Universe where other players could - when you allow it- jump in and play pilots of your fleet for some time or could even play as your enemy if you allow it. But Yeah..... not likely to happen.

Yeah.. but it is possible. But it would be a very costly thing

I'd be interested to see 3 youtubers get together and share a single save file. Each player gets 2 hours to play on the save file before handing over the save file to the next player. And they all play off of what the previous player did. Would love to see where that playthrough ends up even after a week! Would like to see a "no sabotaging eachother on purpose" handshake deal though. Like, selling a station a previous player built (without reason), or putting all their ships into a xenon sector and logging off. . .

Just play Avorion?

No

Anyway I would like to see an implementation like Death Stranding where you have other players stations and npc controlled ships spawn in your universe.

I don't think the venture feature is what players are asking for. It's quite clear that most players aren't interested in asynchronous multiplayer.
Egosoft has this peculiar tendency to ignore what players actually want and what most games are delivering; they insist on introducing something "new."

I want something similar to No Man's Sky, where players can interact with each other if they are in the same sector as the host.

However, having a wingman from another player sounds fun as well. It reminds me of the pawns system in Dragon's Dogma.

I think most people who want Coop and have the guts feeling it wont happen simply cope with the idea that we could have asynchron multiplayer.

this guy gets it.

You both dont get it, OP said COOP not multiplayer.

Yeah COOP would be awesome honestly, like say Evochron, where we can setup a PC as a LAN server and play with friends.

With x4 sure. But x5 could have miners, salvagers and traders with larger capacities, faster, more efficenc and more expensive. Larger ships would just be straight up upgrades to encourage players to move into them. Smaller ships would still be faster for niche cases like aux ships. This would greatly reduce the amount of ships on the map at any given time and greatly increase performance. Hell, I wish they'd do that for x4.

I'm sure there are other improvements that could be made, but they'd need to be successful enough to hire a few netcode specialists. It's a pipe dream at this point, but maybe we'll see something in x5 or x6.
