Ship Scrambling and Other Upcoming Features
HamsterIV:
Nobody wants to join a game and get paired up with Leroy indefinitely. I think this is one of the reasons games take so long to start. When I join a server and see a level 1 captain with no crew against a pair of Level 5+ captains with full crew I move on to the next server unless I am feeling masochistic or cocky that day.
Captain Smollett:
I mean this with respectful disagreement but I think the community would have to be at least 4 times larger than it is now for matchmaking to really be feasible and worth the tremendous amount of labor it would take to implement (not to mention the fact that matchmaking would add no benefit to adventure mode).

But you would if you had to wait x games before knowing you'd even have a shot?
HamsterIV:
Even if the community were big enough I don't think GOI is the type of game that would really benefit from automated match making. Games with good match making like LoL are very dependent on individual player skill and less on group cohesion (I may be wrong since I only played LoL for a few weeks). So keeping a group of strangers together until they become an organized team is less important in LoL than it is in GoI.

I do feel masochistic or cocky every once in a while (not enough to fly against you). The cockiness tends to wear off after a few games especially if the ally captain is really bad. Some times I do pull off improbable victories.

Fair enough. I just turn my nose at the forced bit at this point. I would honestly make a scramble match in a lot of situations vs non-scramble if it were indeed an option to.
