@Nietzsche's Mustache
Unresponsive players will get kicked under your system, Correct? So what if a player does not speak English? They will not respond to voice or text because they do not understand and they are just waiting for the game to start, Maybe just put some music on chill out wait patiently and oh they get kicked, Because of a language barrier, Now we have CA's from around the world who speak a multitude of language's who could of helped that situation and the person who spent the same money as everyone else would be allowed to play normally, But even in game as long as they are not afk and breaking any rules they do not deserve to be removed, because they do not want to communicate, There are plenty of people who play this game who do not understand English, Or might have dyslexia or hearing problems, communication is a factor in game to winning yes but people who do not communicate should be removed i disagree with.

@Grey T
I do not understand how language could be a problem in the lobbies, concerning set-up at least.
Let's say we have a non-english speaker in the crew. We tell him, "X, be engineer". Even if he can't understand English, "engineer" is a term in the game, that is commonly seen and should be easily recognizable.
Or let's say he's a gunner and we want him to bring some lesmok. We'd tell him, "X, bring lesmok please.". Lesmok is a technical term that he sees the his customization menu, he doesn't need to speak English the understand any of this.
Third scenario, we want this X gunner to use gatling on front. If we say, "X, use gatling." and using V, we say "Man the front guns." he should be able to understand. Because it says on the gun, gatling. Maybe he doesn't want to use the gun, because it's not really enjoyable for him. Well, that doesn't give him the right of taking away the fun from 3 other players on the ship, forcing them to compensate for him.
So in the end if he doesn't comply, I am sorry, but I would seek malicious intent.

I have to agree with Cheese here and take it even further. If someone don't speak English and thus can not understand his/her crew mates this can destroy the match for the other three people on that ship. So by that logic it is better to allow that one guy who cannot/will not work with the team a free pass and thus award damaging behavior. This does feel very wrong as those three that did want to work their best to win will be punished by it.
This game is so teamwork focused so I do actually believe that not being able or willing to communicate can and should be allowed to lead to that player being removed from that match. After all it is one persons enjoyment over three others. Ofc if they all just want to go without saying a word and just play that is fine and then no one will ever know if any one of them are their.
(again don't assume for everyone in casual lobbies just wanting to jump in to the game, some ppl still have tactics and specific things that needs doing that requires teamwork. Most likely they will also win the match in a pub)

You guys can only enjoy a game if it is 100% meticulously organized? I think you're going way too far, as you are basically saying non-english speaking players who don't comply may not play the game they purchased.

I actually agree with them a little. If you are trying to play even a little seriously, if you can't communicate with a member of your team, you basically can't play at all in any match that isn't all or mostly newbies. I have experienced this problem myself, with unresponsive players that then got on guns they shouldn't have, and basically made us lose the match by not listening or responding. If it's a matter of they literally couldn't due to a language barrier, that wouldn't remove the fact they became a problem player due to that language barrier, and should have been with people they CAN communicate with, if nothing else. If a player could not communicate with me due to a language barrier, and couldn't even understand basic keywords like Lesmok, not gunner, or other very critical yet simple things, then I wouldn't want them on my ship. As this is an English-Speaking (mostly) Team-Based (very heavily) game requiring at least decent if not high levels of coordination, even a single player not coordinating can basically kill the enjoyment for the OTHER players in that match. If I had to choose between ruining the game for that one player, or for the 15 other players in that lobby... well, that's a no brainer. Good bye to the one unresponsive player, language barrier or not.
