Groups, no thanks.

Hi, I'm playing the Discovery mod in a LAN with a friend of mine. We were hoping to join forces, beat difficult missions and get heavy money. Imagine our surprise when we saw that mission rewards are divided between goup members without being multiplied first.
So, if I have a job worth 50000$ and complete it alone I'll get the full money, but if we complete it togheter I get 25000$, this does not favor team play. The rewards should be multiplied by the total group members, so anyone can get 50000$ and the mission will be easier!
Moreover, we thought to join in a trade enterprise: me with a freighter and him escorting.
After a while we realized that with a 450 cargo unit cargo ship, transporting passengers, prisoners or diamonds we can earn about 1400 per unit of cargo. That makes 640000 per trip, unluckly the trip takes 5-6 system jumps and about 20 minutes of playing. Doing missions for the bounty hunters or the corsairs will give you more than twice that money in same amount of time. Only after buying the expensive train container ship trading is worth to be done.
The conclusion: Freelancer does not favor team play. :angry:

Do you have any suggestion about any profitable team activity?
