How's the Multiplayer of this game?

[DragonH]

Good Afternoon guys
I was thinking about buying this game because i heard the MP is very good and feels nice!
But i was wondering, is MP "INVITE ONLY" or there's SERVERS we can browse for players who are looking for a team?

Thanks in advance

There are public lobbies that you can join or create, the multiplayer is excellent and is the primary focus of the game. You can communicate with a laser pointer, text chat, or voice chat if you want (although a lot of players keep vc disabled).

Yea, there is a server browser.
Also, you, yourself, can host a game.

thanks for all the answers so far!
What happens if a HOST have to leave a server? Does everyone else Dc? Or they can keep up playing and i come back later for example?

If the host leaves or drops, the lobby is closed; since his computer is hosting the game.

there's no host migration in the game so if the host leaves (intentionally or not) everyone gets dropped and the mission is over

your safest bet is to host your own games, as you won't have any risk of random disconnects or latency. it's also just naturally better for newer players as you can learn the game at your own pace and you'll have the ability to kick any undesirables who join you

thanks for the insight!
But how do we progress then?
Imagine me and a friend are playing together, and after 1h we have to leave, both of us. We will come back later, we have to start over?

Finish the mission. Missions are typically 15-25 minutes.

well, you earn resources for completing missions, and then you spend them in the space rig (the hubworld) for stuff like upgrading your guns. the resources you earn are saved when you quit
