Sure, a co-op variant for Tactics is probably possible. I doubt very much it would be as good as a game that was designed to be co-op from the beginning though.
I mean you can use a fork to whip cream (my aunt never used anything else) but it's faster and easier with a whisk.
We already have a co-op Sentinels game so it's not like there's an unfilled niche here.
I've heard this a couple of times from different folks. One thought to keep in mind: If a person loves tactical, mini-based games and wants to play one themed for Sentinels, the card game will not meet those interests. However, if a person just wants to play a coop, superhero game, the card game does fit those interests.
It just depends on what we individually are looking for in Tactics… 
Oh, I get it. There are games that would be perfect for me if one thing got changed (Patchwork playing more than 2 players, for example) but that doesn't mean that the games would actually be better for the change, or that the necessary modifications are worth all the effort.
As designers you have to draw the line somewhere - you can only accommodate so many player requests before a game becomes a huge bloated thing that does everything, but nothing particularly well.
Just because I prefer 4-player games doesn't mean Uwe Rosenberg should redesign Patchwork.
hopefully they will comment on this and see if they are doing anything different or messing around with prime war a bit. When I see something that says testing of Oblivaeon internally tells me the playtesters may not be working on this right now so they may be working on prime war a bit currently that it may not impact it greatly
Here’s something I wonder: we’ve heard that whatever rule tweaks come out of the Prime Wars development effort will lead to some compatibility changes to the existing Tactics games. I wonder when the Prime Wars playtesting will reach a point when we’ll know what those are, and how they’ll be made available.
Things are always subject to change, but I do recall Paul saying at some point in the past that there would be a "conversion kit" made for the first Tactics set. Something like this could include, but not be limited to, updated character panels and power cards, ect.
I'm unsure if that is still the current plan, but I my best guess is that it likely is. When that would be available and what, if any, cost would be associated with getting such a kit is unknown to me.
When will you know what these changes are? I'd plan on not knowing the full extent of changes from the first set until Prime War is actually completed and said conversion kits were being created. In the playtesting process things have been known to change and shift even during the late polishing stages of development.
We will definitely be making a conversion kit for the existing Sentinel Tactics stuff (whatever that winds up requiring), and we'll definitely be sending that for free to all pre-order-ers as well as making it available for sale.
Ah, so this sounds like something more involved than a PDF of rule addenda.
Sweet:D
FYI from Paul's State of GTG post in General Discussion yesterday Prime Wars remains a work in progress.
Current WIP Focus by GTG
According to the latest OblivAeon KS update all files are to the printer. So hopefully we will get an update regarding the status of Tactics and Prime War soon.
From what it says on the 'State of GTG - November 2017', the next thing to be focused on is the RPG. But Prime War is right behind, so we can always be hopeful.
And that Earth-Prime Kickstarter just announced that it's behind schedule due to OblivAeon and requires Christopher's attention to get any traction going. So, expect that to be higher on priority as well.
Not to rub salt in the wound, but it's gotta stink that it's been 3 years since Broken City was announced/preordered and the only public movement this year is that "Mist Storm" is the new name of the product line.
I asked in comments section in the April update if there was any news. Paul responded "Not yet. We'll have more info about that after OblivAeon is completely to the printer and off our plate." So hopefully there will be more info. I will be disappointed if they keep moving goal posts even for just news and updates.

I mentioned in my State of GTG post today that we had a major meeting about Prime War last month. We also have a week of intensive work on the system scheduled for this month. Now that OblivAeon is done, we are going to be devoting more resources to moving that forward. We already have some dramatic progress internally, and are happy about where the project is heading.
To give you a sense of the timeline, our goal is for Prime War to be demoable at Gen Con this year. We will probably make a public anouncement with quite a few details some time around or shortly before Gen Con. Before that (so, some time in the next few months), we should have stuff up on the Playtesting forum.
Hooray more info!
Hooray for Progress
Cause, i really am very curious about Cosmic now that he seems to be ridiculously powerful in Miststorm.
I honestly forgot I pre-ordered Broken City and For Profit, and it was incredibly difficult to find information about it since I had no idea about Prime War and the big changes. A sticky at the top of the forum might be a good idea.
Also, what do I do if I need to change the address on my preorder?
