lobby waiting times are op muse nerf them now
I dunno if that could ever be done. There is a bit of setup to do before flying. Just like doing a preflight checkup. Unless you wing it and don't care. Which I often do at times. Only way I'd say to alleviate it some would be to have a box that pops up when someone joins a ship, set up by the captain, which requests loadouts/etc. But even then, takes time for people to adjust. Plus some would complain because they don't like the popup in their faces.
Guess if you wanted to make it so some wouldn't complain, you just call it a form of "ready check." MMOs all have that but instead for GOIO it would pop up a list that the captain sets which displays requested loadouts and equipment without them speaking or arguing. Of course it would pop up a different list depending on the class chosen.
