What I Notice about GoIO and Why its Population has Been Decreasing

If the pilot was the only one with the power, then it would surely be abused. If the whole team unanimously agrees that a certain player should go, then where is the harm?

If the captain is abusing his kicking abilities, he wouldn't have a crew. Being a captain means you need to have a crew's support and if you're a complete dick as a captain and kicking people randomly, you'd end up without a crew and thus unable to play effectively. Only dumb people would shoot themselves in the foot like that.

Trolls aren't exactly known for their intelligence.
There once was a troll in my game speaking with an obviously fake Indian accent. He was picking the wrong classes and jumping around the lobby.
He ended up on my ship, much to my dismay.
Unable to kick him, I decided to deal with him.
I played along with his stupid joke ("So, what part of India are you from?"), and actually ended up having a good laugh or two.
He realized that he was also having a bit of fun, and returned the favor by being a good crewman.
We even ended up playing a few more games together.
TL;DR, kicking is the easy way out. Find a way to deal with trolls socially. That's what this game's all about.

Yes this. Plus it's not really trolls that I find people wanting to kick. People want to kick "bad" players or get rid of people to make room for their friends. What you'll wind up getting is tons of people getting kicked and banned from lobbies without ever knowing why because most people are too lazy to try to talk to people or teach people to get better.
This game is about working with other people, and kicking them is really not in the spirit of this game.

Which is why they implemented Party and Form Crew options.
To preempt getting bad players without anyone getting kicked.
RomanKar:
I think kicking is just the easy, lazy way out. If someone takes my friend's spot, I ask them to please move. Almost always, they move. The difference between this game and almost any other, is that GOIO takes actual cooperation, not just teamwork, to be successful. You have to actually be on speaking terms with people to have any real sort of success.
Also, there is an option if you truly don't want to fly with someone on your ship: Leave the match and find another. I've used this as a last resort. It's even easier now with the party system and whatnot.
So, I guess every game really has a de facto kick feature: kick yourself.
