How does fleeting work?

    If you fleet with someone of lower infamy, does match making find a balance, or does it match you at the highest infamy?

    The reason I ask, is because a friend requested fleeting today, but he's about 5 levels, and 500 infamy below me (in a lower mk ship).

    I'm already usually the weakest ship in my games (my infamy is probably a little bit overrated at the moment). So I was worried that if I accept, he'd get put into one of my games, and we'd both get pulverised in seconds, and our team would hate us.

    So how does it work?

    To prevent gaming of the system, you are both treated as if you had the higher members infamy when getting matched.

    Thank you Zeus, for the quick response. :)

    That makes complete sense. Though I feel a bit bad having to turn him down. Do you think there might be options in the future to play with friends on a more equal footing? Perhaps detached from infamy gain?

    EDIT:
    On a seperate but related note, can fleeted players play on any map they've unlocked, or are they limited to the maps that the lower player has unlocked?

    You will only be able to play on the maps that the lowest member has unlocked
