| Just wondering if the Beta team or SCS could give us a hint on how it worked. I have the basic concept, but how are stations assigned? How many stations can one player operate? Who in command. That sort of stuff? |

NDA so they can't say.
NDA = Non Disclosure Agreement. |

| There is a screenshot, I think on the official site, that shows two people ("mh60 ace", "mh60 senso guy") sharing the stations between them. |

Hi All,
Any station available from the station menu can be assigned to any one player. All players need to have at least one, but other than that they can take as many as they like. You are in control of any function that comes with the stations you are assigned- for instance, if you are assigned ship control, you are the only one who can change course. If you are assigned fire control, you are the only one who can actually fire weapons. There is no enforced command heierarchy, it's up to the players to cooperate.

| How will voice commands effect multi-station play? |

To be honest, i think that for multi-station play, third party voice comms are more or less a necessity. No use in typing
"inbound missiles bearing 130, 540 knots, range 15nm"
By the time you start responding the missile will be on top. |

I hate to be the spoiler, but are you sure this is such a great improvement?
I know from experience how dificult it is to have more then two people online the same time, who want to play the same game for hours.
For team dives in SC and 688, you need only four players and thats almost impossible over a longer time path.
It will work for a few weeks posible months, but......... 
I hope I am totally wrong!

I see your point. I wonder what will happen when a person drops? Will his station become locked or will it roll to the next guy? I guess there is more to this feature than what I orginally thought. I'm sure SCS has this covered though.
I guess you'll just have to try and schedule dives with ppl you feel comfortable with. I think it would worth the time and effort to conduct ASW ops against a skilled diesel driver though. I can't wait!! |

This will go beyond 2v2. Think about it...you can have a boat of 3 people, another 3 on the P-3, 3 on SH-60, 3 on OHP, and yet another boat of 3.   |
