Match making by Ship

(1/3) > >>

HamsterIV:
After a game ends and the team returns to the crew formation I notice a lot of people leave to re enter the match making queue as individuals. However a few people linger in the crew formation screen scattered about non full ships (often without a captain). When the lead captain goes to search for a new game it takes a very long time because the search has to find open spots for a full ship and the malingerers in the crew formation. It would be rude to ask the malingerers to leave and ineffective if they are AFK. Yet I want to keep my current crew without having to create a new crew formation screen.

What I would like to have is the ability to detach my ship in the crew formation screen and be put into the match making queue as a 4 player ship. That way I can keep the same crew, join a new game faster, and not offend people who hang around in the crew formation for no good reason.

Edit: It feels like this should already be a feature. Did I miss some part of the UI that does this?

You didn't miss anything. I don't think any of us testers even considered that, as it wasn't a big deal when there were only 20-40 people testing anyway.

GeoRmr:
Nice idea, I want this!

sparklerfish:
I really like this idea.  I was very confused the first time I was dropped into crew formation after a match with the whole team there, half of whom would then leave to either find a new lobby on their own or just stop playing for the time being.  I'm not sure what the point of sending the entire team to crewform is.

HamsterIV:
The crew form space is a little weird since last patch. If I join a team through individual match making I expect to be paired with strangers. But crew form is where people I know to some degree organize before going off to cause trouble. After a match I know the crew I played with but not those other monkeys in the lobby. Also if the ally ship did not perform particularly well, I do not want to be paired with them in the next game.

I realize this it a bit like a kick feature only it is used to kick myself and my high functioning crew away from any paste eaters we encounter.
