Yeah.  After playing a lot of EVE I am once again disappointed by the size limit on teams in this game.  It hinders pvp and other things.

So how are mission teams hardcoded?  Is there a simple way to increase their size?  And knowing that this might raise certain exploit objections on the part of mission running (people already use one or two fast runners to grind rep while the rest sit in team, for example) would there be a way to code an entirely different sort of group?  Say, a combat group or otherwise that would be unable to run missions together but could still teleport each other and chat together - or even just a way to open a chat group by itself.

Basically with EVE you have the ability to open up group and private conversations at will, among whomever you want, regardless of organization/alliance status.  This would majorly benefit MxO as well - allowing more coordination among pvpers and different factions.

Please tell me something like this would not be difficult to implement.

I think the size can be adjusted since it used to be 8 players max.

That's good.  I am also suggesting a separate mechanic along the lines of a private group chat.

2006 = Immense necro.

Because of course re-using an old thread which hasn't been used for years which will save server space and eventually save money thus it is such a barmy idea that SOE have decided that all thread necro is now completely and utterly wrong so the thread gets locked as soon as a new post is made on it.

Money priority: Dev power < Forum server space??

After having some time off been looking into how the Warhammer beta got teams working and it seems like something MxO should definately look into (if at all possible). 1 team = 6 guys, 6 guys + another team = a Warband. Hey, whatta ya know, suddenly the team is no longer 6 but 12 people raiding together. SMILEY
