How to start with a fully upgraded ship in multiplayer

In order to have a maxed out ship in multiplayer you must go into single player assault upgrade your ship as much as you want then join a friends session in progress. When you have a team the best strategy to use would be for nobody to undock. while docked use the default 10000 green matter to upgade one turret then leave to go upgrade your ship. Of course you will need one player in the lobby at all times. The last person in the lobby has the option of pausing the game. Whenever another player joins the game will start automatically.

This little trick works with all the multiplayer games

Have fun everybody I was not going to post this strategy but i changed my mind.
