PWCG coop question

[JG1_Jaus]

I'm currently running a coop campaign with a half dozen squadmates as players.   My pilot is the reference pilot.   From what I've seen, if you take leave as the reference pilot PWCG advances the campaign x number of days and gives a report on pilot victories and losses during that time.

 

The question is, if I as the reference pilot take leave, are the other player-pilots in the campaign eligible to be selected for missions (and possible death) during that leave?

No.  Time advances for everybody.

 

Options include:

1. if you never want to advance time due to injury you can set max injury level to 1, thus making pilots invulnerable.

2. If you don't keep injuries, and still want to fly, and you don't want to skip time, you can create another persona and fly that persona while your current one recuperates.

3. Take leave and skip time.

4. Use the newly implemented Activate Pilot to miraculously heal your pilot.  <Campaign> -> Personnel -> Administer Pilots.  Select your pilot and press Activate on the right side.

Ok, thanks.   I just want to advance the campaign to a later time point for all of the players, but not have any of their pilots die as a result.

I’m curious about having a similar coop campaign, but was trying to figure out what hardware requirements would be needed to host it? Is a server needed?
