The only mid-join as engineer philosophy
HamsterIV:
I am all for this, but I wonder if there is anything in the code that would make this difficult to implement while allowing a gunner who got left the match to rejoin in his old spot.

As long as they do it within the rejoin window I don't see there being an issue.
Richard LeMoon:
I would love a feature that would allow people to join in progress ONLY if they have the class/loadout that the captain sets (optional to set, of course). Click a slot to join, see a pop-up that says:
Captain desires that you bring this:
[list class and stuff]"
OK, I'll do it!
No thanks... Return to Lobby
I think this, more than anything, would shorten lobby times when there are a few empty slots. No one likes waiting for a match to fill when everyone is basically ready to go. [/list]
Captain Smollett:

I'd like muse to introduce the following late-join restrictions:
- disallow late joining pilots for other slots than the captain slot.
- disallow late joining gunners if there's already a gunner on the ship. Alternatively fix the engineer-gunner balance so 2gunner/1engie crews actually become a viable option.

This but instead of only allowing a pilot join the captain slot, change it to only allowing a pilot to join if there is no pilot. Sometimes I'm in a good mood and join grease monkey captained pilotless ships to turn around and save games mid match.

I like this idea, it gives the captain a better way to get through what they want and just gives them more of a captain feel overall, since the crew has to stick to their rules to get in their ship.
Of course it should allow the captain to modify this at any point before the match, just like the ship and their loadout, in case someone in the crew has suggestions/is better with something else and whatnot, so communication wouldn't be lost, it'd just make it easier when usually there's little or none (like when a crew member is simply not listening to their captain).
