Usually For Fuck's Sake.

Is it actually PVP? I always thought this was co-op. Or do we get to decide on our play style and -root prefers PVP? I haven't tested multiplayer yet, and it seems like I won't be able to do so for some time because the game decided that it prefers crashing over playing. :cry:

Or maybe "PVP" was supposed to mean P2P?

I think what happened was someone griefed root by force-firing, and he got upset.

There's friendly fire, but not actual PVP, other than being trolled.

Don't use abbreviations. Never. And if you have to use them: Make sure people understand what they mean. I have no idea what "PSA" and "FFS" mean. Someone was nice enough to explain "FFS", but "PSA" is still unclear. And as you can see: Other people don't understand them, too.

"PvP" means somtimes: People can hurt other people. And sometimes it means: "It's the main goal to hurt other in the game.". The developers refer with "Coop" to the second meaning, -root to the first.

Until we get options when we create a multiplayer game is seems like the current settings they've gone for are the best to me. You can only shoot each other if you use C and science is communal. Works well for the MP game I'm playing.
Also works well for any potential youtube collabs...

Not that I blame anyone here for not understanding this kind of stuff, since English seems to be second or third language for the majority of the users here, so it's understandable acronymia and webspeak flies over your heads.
