You should be able to group with people without either of you cancelling your mission. Why?

Traders are on long trade missions. They want an escort. 'grouping' makes it a lot easier to chat with each other, and for you to see each other on radar, and for you to see where the other people are via the chat message having the system/sector in them.

However, you cant currently 'group' with the traders to escort them, because that would cancel the traders mission.

And we know it will be months before the devs have time to implement anything like 'group trade/escort missions', and do the balancing on them (balancing is as hard as implementation it would seem).

So until then is it not possible to do a quick fix where if you group with others, your trade missions wont get cancelled? And you don't get credit for each others work? Or maybe it wouldn't be that quick of a fix, in which case, nevermind!

Thanks

Then what would prevent someone from doing a trademission while doign a group combat mission? Eh?

uhm because you can only do 1 mission at a time?
