Ok, me an a buddy grouped in the ground game. He was standing right next to me (Mos Eisley, Flurry, we're both Privateers). We tried this twice, once with me launching into space first, once with him launching first.
Each time we could never find each other in space. We would fly back to Tat station but never saw each other. /findfriend came up blank. Furthermore, when we used the 'L' key to target nearest friendlies, we each saw a completely different list of PCs/ships! All this while being at the same location in space. I tried emailing him a waypoint and us going to it and the same thing.
This leads me to think there are different space "zones", which I would not have a problem with except groups should get to go into the same zone! I've not heard of this issue before.
Can anyone confirm if space is multi-zoned like this? Is there a way to force it to put groups in the same zone? How can get sent to the same version of space as my friend?

During Beta they implemented two instances of the newbie zones, one just for those on the teir one missions and another for everyone else. This was to cut down on the amount of lag present in those zones (Naboo, Tatooine, and Corellia). I was not sure if this made it's way into final or not... As far as I know the only way around it is for both of you to complete all the teir 1 missions.

Well, I've not experienced anything of that nature yet, but that sure sucks.
My major beef with grouping in space right now is the fact that "F" and "CTRL+F" seem to have no effect whatsoever on anything. (And the manuals say this should open some kind of formation interface).
Where are the formations, and if they're in - how the Hades do we use them?

I would say it is, I was going to help a friend the other night, she was still doing novice missions. Anyway grouped, and even flying to her WP and nothing.

What PhoFlame said....I was still doing the Tier 1 newbie missions, that was it. Forums win again!
Still, I do think if you are grouped with someone doing the newbie missions, you should get pulled to that instance. Groups should not be split.

The n00b instance is a good idea. If you tooka Tier 1 anything you would proally die fast.. Expecially if your just trying to figure the controls out.. BUT, if youare in the back of a Y-Wing and your only Tier 1 you will follow your bud into the non-n00b space and rack up the XP

That is correct. The newbies get their own instanced space.
Kinda...all you need is one skill box to group with people.

Yeah, but tier 2 and up pilots cannot group into the same space as tier 1 pilots.
