The only mid-join as engineer philosophy

When the press the button they see the spots that are available and can click on any one of these they chose.

Yes this so much. I would love it if there were an easier way to join a match in progress from the spectator slot. Sometimes I'll be spectating a match that some friends are in and a spot will open up mid match; it would be nice if I could easily join it.

Unfortunately there is no way you could do this without it being abused. Why join a match in progress without hopping in spectator and seeing who is winning first? The losing team would never get any new players.

Perhaps it does not have to be immediate - for example, the person who entered spectator mode has to wait 3 or 4 minutes before entering the game. They have the option to wait before they join or leave, or simply stay spectating.

As long as you don't get to choose the team you are on. By joining a spectate slot and making yourself available to join any slot if it frees up no matter what ship it it on. The same could happen for mid joining all around where you are randomly assigned onto a ship.

Yeah I agree with this, because honestly the 3 minute wait would be a lot more boring than leaving the match and then rejoining in a ship, and while you're waiting, that ship is missing that crew member or someone else may get in it
