In a Mech with multiple Operators, who determines the Mech's actions? Operators can take a full action to grant the Mech actions, but I didn't notice anywhere that stated how the use of those actions is determined. Is there one Operator who is in control? Do Operators get to decide on how their contributed action is used? Do all Operators have to agree on a course of action?
No matter what way I cut it, I can't see a way for more than one player to operate a Mech without drastically slowing down the game or creating inter-player conflict.

I don't think it will be too bad. Slowing down the game to increase inter-player interaction is worth it in my book, and I bet they'd agree on tactics quickly a lot more often than not. Plus, if you don't need all the people of the party in the mech, the players who work together best are probably more likely to be riding together. I'll update this after my playtest (which will likely have 1 2 person mech) to share how that goes though.

I am 100% in favor of "Each player chooses their own action". Yes, it means they have to cooperate, but that is both a good idea for players *anyway*, and also totally in genre for the Multi-Pilot Super Robot genre.
Even if each player chooses their action, that still leaves the mech's base move action unaccounted for.
