Thread: How do I get to my wayward group in space?

If I get separated from my group and they are (out of range) the only 2 ways we can think of to get re-connected is to meat at a station or relay /waypoint coordents. Neither is good if a fight is going on. Space is too large and chaotic for (out of range). Group members dont even show up on the near useless 3d map.


Another problem I'm having with group play is not knowing where the mission waypoint is.


Bottom line is there needs to be some way to locate wayward group members, if only for the sake of promoting group play. Please.

If they are on your friends list you can do /findfriend (name) and it will give you a wp to where they are at that second, it will get you close enough that they will show back up on the group list.

As Sumner said, /findfriend will be you best option. So long as the person you are trying to find is on your friends list and he has you on his then you'll be able to find them quite easily. Everytime you repeat /findfriend for that person it will delete your previous WP and update it with a new one.

But as Azzixx said what about Group WP's for missions. I've been helping fellow guild members and them helping me on Teir3 missions. and the function on group WP like on the ground based game would be helpfull to our groups.

This brings up a good point that's been bothering me in space. As soon as you leave the immediate vicinity of your group, everybody becomes "Out of range" if they are more than 2km away it seems. On the ground, this is not a big deal because 2km is a lot when you're fighting together. In space, however, it becomes very annoying because the distance is not all that big and it's easy to lose locations of group members.

One thing that would be really nice to have, especially since the higher level JTL missions absolutely REQUIRE a group to complete, is to have all members of the group recieve the mission dialog and waypoints so that everyone in the groupcan keep up and stay better organized.


The requirement of a group to complete a mission is a separate issue that I don't agree with, but that's been addressed on other threads.

There's also in your options target tab. Set a key or button on your joystick to target group leader, next and previous. Those I find helpful. hope this one helps
