Multiplayer Support?

Any progress or ideas made towards Multiplayer yet? Personally, I believe a solid ship - to - ship combat system, or a Co-Op mode would be immensely fun.

What would also be fun is the ability to create your own ships... but that's for a different thread. Thoughts?

I posted this in the "open world mod" but I think it'd be sweet if they made a whole galaxy or universe full of sectors and then dump us all in there to forge alliances, or to kill our enemies, and basically we all Travel the universe fighting eachother and computer players, but it would have to be free roam with no rebel fleet chasing you... Like a sandbox mode.

Please don't even consider making an MMO out of it! It's unlikely to the point of impossibility, but I wanted to get that out anyway ;)

The 'almost round based' mechanic of FTL just wouldn't work in multiplayer. You would have to make it realtime to a certain degree, and that would make it suck.
