Request to swap positions/classes
awkm:
Match lobby shuffling is something we're looking into. Oftentimes we'll reach a completely full match, including spectators, and we'll have no way to swap spots. We'll see.
I'm personally against you switching roles during a match at any point. This includes if you accidentally join a match as a pilot. This means your captain readied with you as pilot or you switched to pilot after the ready. If you quickmatch with pilot selected, it will only try to fill you in a captain position. So this is entirely human error at play here. Switching during a match offers too large of a tactical advantage and dramatically alters gameplay in the middle of a match. I want some of the tactical and strategic decision making to be made and set in stone before a match has started. Changing roles to me is like changing ships or weapons. I feel it's that big of an impact.
If it becomes a seriously problem we'll look into it but as of now, it goes against a clear design goal that we had from the beginning.

Awkm.. does that mean that if I end up with two or three Gunners following mid-match joiners, that means that the second/third did not arrive as a result of choosing Quick Match and therefore must have deliberately chosen to join my ship after seeing the crew roster and joining out of spite/ignorance?
Or does Quick Match only balance Pilots?

If I specifically join your match (not quick join) we don't do any filtering. You can't see who's in your game from the match list screen anyway. We're assuming that you know you want to join that match and know what's going on inside.
If I use Quick Join, it'll do the pilot thing and then it'll try it's best to only allow only 2 of a certain class to be on a ship.

So Quick Join could result in two Engineers or two Gunners, but shouldn't result in three of the same..

Again, the system will do it's best to make that happen. But there may be instances where it you get 3 of the same thing. Remember, we can only try. Otherwise you may never get into a match with Quick Join and that's not the point of quick join.
