Not this game, unfortunately. And they didn't add mod support, so no fan fixes. Maybe in the next game, if they listen to their fans.
It's a shame because the nature of the game would naturally lend itself to coop, what with neutral corporate fighters hanging around mining and fighting pirates with you. Long as you don't accidentally shoot one of theirs. Or do it on purpose, as one mission has you do, and they crush you. Still trying to figure out how the hell to cheese them enough to survive that quest.
All I know is they aren't something you want to mess with early on, until you're well prepared with various buffs and devices that increase survivability, like this nifty bullet time thing, or a consumable that reduces damage or boosts shields, while buffing your own damage output.
I mean, I have less trouble with corvettes, cap ships, and "elite" pirates and alien warlords, the difficulty spike when the neutrals come after you is absurd. Coop would be so much better dealing with them.
