How does grouping work now as of the current release?
Can you still lose prestige for the actions of others?
Just want to be sure and have it clarified.
I remember seeing several times where a newbie got demoted severely because the one who invited them was an idiot and started scrapping structures and getting killed in a dread or stat.
Newbies shouldn't be expected to discern between good and bad players, or to realize that it even matters and that their rank is on the line.
I almost quit the game myself when I got demoted to below the lowest possible rank and was too new to know an AC from my aft cannon emplacements.

they fixed that, now you get a certain percentage of what your groupmates make. I think it's 10% but don't quote me on that. Works much better than the old system did. 
Edit: They also removed the group pres loss as well, so no more griefing like what used to happen

"- Grouping has been tweaked so that all allies now get 10% of your prestige awarded as Bonus Prestige. The following stats are not shared: Kamikazi, Self Destucts, Planet Collisions, negative Constructon (scrapping structures), Bonus Prestige, Jumps, Kills, and Killed. "

those are the only stats shared, res loss would equal press loss

So ships damaged and resources lost are the only shared values?

Everything is shared, except the ones mentioned above , but resources lost is not shared.
So, while grouped with someone, you get 10% of their prestige as bonus prestige from everything they do(damaging ships and planets, capping ships and planets, construction and repair), and you dont share lost prestige at all.
Before this change, you evenly shared stats whith members of the group(which is why many people have x.5 ship caps or x.2 kills), but now you just get 10% of whatever they earned

So nothing is actually shared, you get it strictly through bonus prestige.
That's fantastic. Thanks for the clarification, guys.
And thank you for revising grouping to be less exploitable for griefing purposes.
