I know its kinda late. but what if a player went to join in later, he couldn't actually do anything but he was there waiting for the quantum gate to be built by his or her teammate. He is there just not able to play till a quantum gate is there.

Now that might just be possible!

Any mod works with FAF. I have not tested it, but it should work.

We should put together a tourney with this mod.

There is a mod that does this. Advanced Co-Op FA

Does this mod work with FAF?

this sounds like an awesome idea me and my friend were talking about a little while ago, is there anyway this mod could get put into the mod manager even if it doesn't get put in GW,

this is because i always liked how HALO WARS could be played co-op through the whole campaign, and this does fit into supcom lore very well

For example. UEF commander(call him UEF 1) attacks Aeon planet. Pays a bunch of credits to port in a support commander(UEF 2) with him. This support commander is controlled by another player who can manage all of UEF 1's units as if he were UEF 1, even overriding UEF 1's orders. This goes both ways in that UEF 1 can over ride UEF 2's orders as well. But with good communication one player could manage eco and defence while the other player manages offense...

(starting with a full power support commander would be overpowered but just an example)

Shared Command is never a good idea. If it were done UEF 1, The ACU, would need to override UEF 2, the SCU. Essentially, the SCU could only control idle units. But I don't see how this could add to the gameplay. Without command overide, players would never accept this feature.

So Through multiplayer save there is a kludge, and zep mentioned there might be a way with a player stored on a another part of the map that is 'opened' later.
So I'm guessing another thing we need access to the source code for?

Just curiously zep, how does FA handle how it's sessions start and finish? Theoretically, on an ideal planet where FA handles resources much better than it does, it might be possible for us to have a signal sent to game which very quickly multiplayers saves, brings up the connect lobby, and enters another player into one an empty slot. then relaunches the saved game, without there having to be much more of a human element than ticking x and taking very much time at all. As in to say I think players might like it if it were seamless enough.

Apologies for the quality of my post, just got out of bed.
