Hey guys, I've never participated in The Cogs so forgive me if this has been brought up multiple times already...
The concept is very interesting and sounds like a lot of fun, but I think it's a bit of a hinderance to require each team to have both ships fully manned. Has there been any discussion on creating a league where the 2v2 matches include four teams total (i.e., four person teams instead of eight)? For example, my three close friends and I play together often so I'd love to enter a team into the league, but it would be difficult for us to find another four people to fill the other ship. It'd add an entirely new dynamic to allow different teams to play both with and against each other.

I see your concern.
right now my own team consists og 11 people total.
2 of them are replacements.
and 1 of them is an honourary member (dont ask lol)
we pull replacements every week because something always comes up. We had people rushing to hospitals, get caught up in work etc.
and so in general our roster consists of maybe 6-7 pemanent members each week, which is a problem for us. But luckily some good players have been awesome and helping us out when we needed it, thanks to them.
What I can suggest that you do if you want to be a part of the cogs is:
go to the docks forum, start looking for a team.
either create your own or join an excisting one.
but before you do that!
start making a network of friends ingame, the more people you know, the easier it is to find people you like flying with.
1v1 was removed in beta afaik, and would need some rework before it gets introduced again (so ive heard).
