Raising consciousness for "stacking" !
RomanKar:
Something else to consider: The captains that are being stacked against have the option to leave. And they also take responsibility for the game they are competing in by pressing the "Ready" button.
I've been on stacked teams many a time. Usually there is no opportunity to switch teams as players keep flocking in. They can see what the levels are. They know what they are getting into.
Another thing. The way I got any better in this game was playing against so called stacked teams over and over and over again.
The whole argument against stacking is really kinda ridiculous. No one is forcing anyone to play any particular match. And if you have so little concern over what is on the other side, then you really aren't trying to win anyway.
Also, it's a lot of fun to discuss boat switching and all when these same players that are being defended against the stackers just keep yelling in voice and match chat, "READY UP!!!!"
In conclusion, there is a really easy way to avoid getting stacked against -- leave.

We also could gather ideas, but until now I haven't seen many around here.

Well, the thing is most of the matches I've been in where stacking has been a serious issue is either in those exceptions I mentioned, or the players themselves sort it out. I see people flipping teams all the time in the sake of balance where it's needed. Nobody likes a match to be too easy or too unforgiving, and the players I've been around have been pretty good about solving the issue themselves.
I don't feel any changes to the game's fundamentals will really address this issue, it's just a byproduct of team-based games. Sometimes one team just has better players than the other. I really don't know what ideas could resolve that.

Gather around children while I share with you the wisdom of the ages:
It isn't stacking if the other team gets at least 1 point.
There, now hold back those tears and go forth and use your new found wisdom for good!

They actually do take that option frequently. Sometimes they wait until 1/2 way through the match to leave, much to the consternation of those who are still in the game.
Letus:
There was one time that a couple high levels were on one ship, forget what our ally was...more like mid range, against another midrange enemy ship...and a low level ship.
The enemy ships wanted us to ready up....you know..."ready, ready, ready."
Soo needless to say they did get womped on...with mines...and then they started to argue that we had stacked teams....
