Ship Scrambling and Other Upcoming Features

I've got to say, a lot of these sound really, really exciting (player slot swap? Yes please!).
Based on what the post says about the ship-scrambling situation... I don't think it'll solve stacking. Here's what I expect to happen:
-Stacked team gets on win streak
-Stacked team is one win away from scrambling
-Stacked team surrenders the next match
Or, if they're doing it for bounty points or trying to get a long streak going:
-Stacked team gets on win streak
-Stacked team is one win away from scrambling
-Stacked team goes and makes another lobby

I am actually quite happy for this feature. Now if I loose enough games against crazy good pilots I will have a chance to fly on the same team as those crazy good pilots after the scramble. Most of us say match stacking is not malicious. This will give us a chance to prove it. Players will have to go out of their way to abuse the system and if they do, we will know them for the jerks they are.

I'm actually more interested in the Database optimization. Since that means it's easier to get content out and it ends up better on the player side too.

That is +1. Any optimization is nice.
As for Swap. Yes, that's great.
As for Scramble, no, it's not going to "solve" a thing. (And if it's due to the bounty system, get rid of it. It's apparently just brought the worst out of people for, what I feel no gain.)
Any team, stacked or not, that bumps that limit, will simply make a new lobby after a quick crew formation.

And this notion that me wishing to play with people I like/know somehow makes me a jerk is why it's just going to sour the community vs do anything positive. I don't like stacked games. I get no joy in it, and being on the receiving end sucks. That said, i know that 95% of the time when that scramble moves me, ill want to just make a new lobby.

So if we can enable or disable it for private, why not just give the lobby creator the same option for public?
This is all well and good and will appease the short time player who comes in, gets his ass whooped and then QQs to Muse about stacking, never to play the game again. But why should friends and allies be forced to swap with players that likely don't listen, don't want to listen, and will likely rage quit the first chance they get? I get why your doing it but I'd rather leave and find a new lobby than be paired with a bunch of kids running a joke build just because they just want to screw around. I've tried to talk to kids doing that in the past, they just tell you to piss off then shout over voice chat till you block them.
I've had more captains appreciate fellow captains that communicate than those who don't. Some who when they hear you actually employing a sense of tactics, don't want to leave your side. Scrambling won't solve the problem, they'll just make a new lobby and reset.
I'm not saying not do it, but I'm saying just make it optional all around. Or set it so that it only counts 5-0 or 7-0 wins. Course there is another issue. Often times teams do not stick around after a 5-0. So this makes it pointless.
