Sure, you can do what you can to prevent the same person causing the same issue in the future.. but that doesn't mean it's a non-issue.

You are correct in your sentiment, and I do agree that you won't get that match back - but a new player vs an experienced player in any role will make a difference to a ship no matter what (whether it is a good or bad difference is utterly dependent on their skill).
Still, it's only one match - and isn't a serious one. Playing with and against pubs means signing a piece of paper acknowledging that you may have to deal with people who don't know what they're doing yet. It's all part of the game from that perspective. :)

That's not true, engineering skill is mostly learned from knowledge, and knowledge doesn't have to come from experience. I've met people playing their first match who were already excellent engineers or gunners, and a fair bit of the reverse. The goal is for everyone to have fun, and clueless people mid-joining as pilots is not fun, or at least a lot less fun than clueless people mid-joining as engi or gunner.

Apologies for the misunderstanding. In my book, skill and knowledge are synonymous. :D

"skill" is not the word you used.
