We can buy a faction trooper in ground ... Why we cannot buy a wingmen for space?
I believe wingmen as faction perk have to be implemented (like in TieFighter game)

Not everyone is a crack pilot. I for one would probably never use them, unless it were for show, or I was in something like a decimator and wasn't running with a full crew for some silly reason. However, for those who either struggle with or just manage with flying, but do enjoy it, having a wingman or wingmen would indeed be a boon.

Yup that would be awsome but how do you balance it for the rebs with no BS3, I also think maybe faction crew members to help with multi crew member ships whould be cool too, could even be part of the solution for the wingman balance

cuz Rebs will cry we dont need anything more than BS3?
I like the idea I do, dont get me wrong, and when they fix Set Formation it would be even better if they add things like,
Cover Me
Attack my Target
Protect my Target
Follow Me
Fire Missiles at my Target (if the ship is something like a TIE Advanced or something)

Would be a nice gimmick, but where´s the point? U cant use them in PvP since PvP is over as soon as one of the fighters hits the other only once.
And PvE aint difficult enough to need them ^_^

I thought of this idea too and while it deffinatly would be cool and could be a huge help in some of the trickier missions it would make JTL an even more solo game. I only group to help in a mission or to recieve help (so far), if anyone could get wingmen anytime they wanted it would destroy the purpose of it being a multiplayer game.

Yes this would be great, I love npc troopers, they are great for ambience, would be cool to fly around with a full squadron of space npc'sin formation, just for the look of it. Imagine setting patrol points to have a few guarding Ties circling around your buddies big MP ship. like the Ties where circling that destoyer in Rojt.

I think Emon was Irish. And we both have the same name so I was like fun game.
Wait I think I know who you're talking about, one of those random wingmen who were on the skirmishes.

The later missions are hard without grouping, and there aren't always other players available
