Question: How many players does Freespace Open allow in multiplayer games?
- Answer: Up to 12 human participants, plus any number of AI players.

Question: Is work being done on increasing this number?
- Answer: Not currently. It is not an easy task, and there are more important things that need doing first. It may happen some day, though.

Question: What multiplayer modes are available?
- Answer: Coop, Team vs Team and Dogfight modes are available. As for mission variety, this is entirely up to the mission designer and can go well beyond simple fighting.

Question: Can we play campaigns in multiplayer?
- Answer: Yes. Campaigns that are set up for multiplayer will show up in the campaigns page of the game creation screen.

Question: Can we use mods in multiplayer?
- Answer: Yes. But stats will not be saved on FS2NetD unless the mod has been validated for online play. See the list of validated mods/total conversions Here.
