A lot of coordinated teams will largely communicate via voice (Teamspeak, etc). If you have a pick-up squad in Sanctuary, check the outfit tags under peoples names (hit Alt-N until they pop up). That will tell you if you've joined a pickup squad, which could be led by a moron without a clue, or it could be a squad full of people from an outfit.

There are a handful of outfits on every server, every empire, that are well-known for their coordinated game-play styles. You generally WON'T find them broadcasting in Sanctuary for members (take that as you will). Yeah there are exceptions, but they happen very infrequently.

My recommendation is that you find a cohesive, active outfit that has been around for a while. As you're tooling around Sanctuary, watch for large clusters of people with the same outfit name. They'll probably be grouped up out of the way, with a group of vehicles or aircraft. It would behoove you to work with teammates for the first few battle-ranks, as you'll encounter a lot more experience (and XP) that way, which equals a faster progression - which allows you to obtain more certifications.
