Recommended way to play as a group ?

Hi everyone, I’m a newcomer here, but the game has already pretty much blown me away :stuck_out_tongue: !  (I’ve known about it for a while, but the entry hurdle seemed a little high to me until a couple days ago).

 

Anyhow, my main question is whether there is a recommendation for how people might play as a group. Asking this for the (somewhat obvious I guess…) reason that I have a couple friends I regularly play with, and I was thinking it’d be fun to play SpaceStation-14 with them / let them give it a spin.

So I know voice-chat is forbidden (which would be kinda the obvious route to go), I guess my question boils down to whether playing as a “party” (with somewhat likeminded goals, etc.) is frowned upon / not wished for, or whether people (for the most part) are likely to be ok with that. I realise that there are a number of factors / elements of the playstyle + culture that kinda might be at odds with the idea… (I have in fact wondered whether an entirely different “gamemode”, or even project might lend itself better to playing as a group).

So, interested what people think, and I’ll probably be saying hello on the Discord sooner or later (I do think this is very cool “little” project / game :).

Regards, Sean

 

Side note: The link to the RSI-Editor in the pinned “Information and FAQ” thread is a 404. (since this place seems pretty low-traffic - I’m sure the discord is quite different :stuck_out_tongue: - not too relevant perhaps, but thought I’d point it out).

Frontier station is pretty well set up for group play, buy a ship and go on expeds or run a restaurant or any other of the many ways to make money, its not frowned upon to all join up together, just stay out of voice chat and communicate in game like normal.
