Game engine is perfect.
I wish to see some coop elements of the game.

It'd be neat, but Alex has said many, many times that multiplayer is out-of-scope.

I don't like EVE game engine.
SratFarer's game engine is perfect for small coop missions, such as "Team Def","Wave survival"..... or "CooP company".

imho,If "Coop Campaign" will be available - more ppl will buy the game to play with their friends.

In order to create multiplayer game, when you start creating game engine you need to implement on very basic levels of engine, otherwise with any additional line of code it becomes harder and harder... And it's Java, easy to make a messed up code (messed up in my case means, easy to get lost in your own code - it Happens). And let's not forget that Alex is only coder of Starfarer, so it twice as hard.

Technical difficulties aside, it'd still be awesome if you could play through a campaign co-op. A fantasy, a sweet, sweet 'I wish'.

The chance of it happening is so small that you might as well let this thread go the way of the dinosaurs.

I think multiplayer is a bad idea for this game. Multiplayer would either be tacked on, and therefore horrible, or it would take too much of a focus away from the singleplayer experience.
