How it plays
Friends can form a team of up to five to play story episodes together and run queued task force operations in space or on the ground.
Joining the same fleet gives a regular group a shared starbase to build up.
Everyone must be on the same platform, since PC, PlayStation and Xbox have separate servers.
It is free to play, with a large in-game store.
