Hey guys,

We agree the ability to deploy entire teams is a very important aspect and something that is needed. Unfortunately as that is something our team, Team True Grit, will have to do we believe there are other things we need to get done first.

The first step is getting the new squad finder into the game. I believe you can expect a dev blog on that later this week. This is important because if we have squads that allow full teams and only a few of the largest corporations ever use them, then it's a bit of wasted time. So step 1, squad finder, that is coming soon.

We have already decided to do full team squads, one of the other things we have decided with that is they will not be allowed in Public Contracts. You will be allowed to use them in Factional Contracts and Corporate Contracts.

With that in mind we decided doing an update to Factional Contracts first was more important. Giving people a reason to play them and making them stand out as something different than Public Contracts. This is what we are working on now, but shhhhhh don't tell anyone.

Once that is done we will evaluate again if it is the right time to do full team squads and how exactly to do them.

So what I am saying, is that yes we agree they need to be done and they are on our backlog, but we have not committed to doing them for a specific time.

If it's both on their backlog AND they haven't committed to doing it, that's a double-whammy for any hope of it within our lifetime.
