I've got JTL and so does my friend, I want to get on lady luck with him. Anyone know how to get on his ship?

If both of you are in the same group and gathered around the terminal you both will end up in there.

I'm not sure if you have to be gathered around the terminal, but you do have to be in the same group, and you DON'T have the be the group leader

So do you think we'll see griefing and kidnapping this way? If all it takes is to be in a group, you can constantly take people, who group with you for any reason, up into space and not let them out unless they log? Does it ask permission of any of the group members before it takes them up? I hope they thought of this.

Should work like the Corellian Corvette, so players around the Terminal in the group get an invitation.

yeah tried this out last night too. Not sure if he was prompted. He didnt have the full 180 days for the yacht but I let him fly the lux liner. It does suck though that the liner, when you get up from pilot seat, the ship remains stationary and does not continue to fly straight or on autopilot. Why cant ya set the autol=pilot then get up from the seat?

What if you have fewer seats than group members? Like if you just need one gunner for your Y-Wing, but you have 4 other group members? Who comes along?

If I remember correctly this was a known issue, but was not going to get fixed until after Launch. So I would hope to see the fix for this in the coming weeks as many people would like to set autopilot and then run around their ships.
As of the last week of Beta I still did not get any invite for a multiperson ship. I went to launch my fighter and my friend launch his Yacht before I finalized mine and I was placed in his ship. This was also brought up, but I lost track of the thread so not sure what answers were given.

There is an escape pod terminal in the pob ships that group emmbers can use to get off the ship. So no kidnapping.

has anyone checked how far from the terminal you can be and still board the ship?
