I heard a rumor you could have 2 people ride in the Y-Wing at once, the passenger gets the secondary guns. Is this true? Me and my friend tried it, this is waht we did...
We grouped, we both stood around the terminal, and he launched his Y-Wing. We both loaded into space, but on my screen I wasn't tehcincally in a ship, and I couldn't look around. When he killed things I got half the XP, but really on my screen it was as though I was floating. Whats up with that? Did we do something wrong, or is the Y-Wing made just for 1 person?

No. The Longprobe is the single seater, the regular tier 1 Y-wing is the two seater.
To the original poster: are you sure that you actually had a gun installed in the turret? What you're describing sounds like what happens if you go up as a gunner without a gun installed, ie. you're up in space but basically can't do anything.

Don't know if this makes too much difference but I'd make sure that your friend put guns in the turret beforehand. Like I said, not sure whether this would be it but it doesn't hurt to check.

no you don't need a long probe, standard Y-wing is 2 seater, but your friend needs to install a weapon into the second slot, then when grouped you will be able to fire this weapon

Hm, even if it was a gun problem, wouldn't I still see us flying around? My view was locking, looking into space... nothing updated at all, no animations, as if I was suspended in space while he flew around and we both got XP.

Seems to be a bug with Gunners. Do a /bug report on it.
If you have a gun all you can do is turn left and right. So check the gun first....and if there is a gun and you can't move then its a bug. However your the 2nd person I've seen where the "gunner" has no animation. /bug it for the hell of it.
