UPDATE
The crew info screen has been updated to show war stats for each crew.

UPDATE
Crew members no longer need to opt-out of war if they don't want to participate. Once the crew has joined the war, any member that wants to participate just goes to the battle tab on their crew window and joins their crew mates in the war. Only the players that specifically join the war are eligible for the team lottery (if one is needed).
UPDATE
Players that didn't opt-in to the war still get a scorecard to follow their crew's team progress.

FEATURE

FEATURE
Wars will also now have fixed-size teams, but the individual members don't need to be selected. Instead, a lottery system will be used.
