Matchmaking hard at work.
macmacnick:
The matchmaker uses powder monkey logic. "Oh look a ship with a engineer pilot! I should join as a pilot that isn't in the captain slot!. They'll love me for that!"
SaintR.L.:
More the merrier... It does not look very pretty on the surface at the moment.

Is it that it matchmade you into a completely full lobby with no slots available?
Richard LeMoon:
Close, sparklerfiish. That screenshot was taken after a minute of looking at ship loadouts quick to see what I was dealing with. There were about five spots open on a few ships. More players joined as I was doing this, and I suddenly realized that I did not see a blue name on any ship, thinking that the highlight was broken. There were still a few empty slots (two captain slots, actually), so I asked if anyone could see me on those ships. Maybe I just was not showing up? Nope. The last slots filled and I took the screenshot.
The match then proceeded to start without me, leaving me looking at the lobby as if I have joined a running match on a friend. Eventually, one of the pilots quit and I was able to take his ship.
So, basically, it put me in the lobby without actually putting me in the lobby.
sparklerfish:
I suppose it's not a problem with the matchmaker per se, but I had a similarly bizarre experience today when I was placed on a newbie ship with engineer captain and pilot crew, which I quickly ditched during the countdown when I received a game invite from a friend. Joined my friend, was happily playing the match when I was suddenly dropped from the match and appeared on the ship that I had previously escaped in the first lobby.
All three useless crewmates (gunner with buff hammer, engineer captain who stayed on a flamethrower and never repaired anything, and level 2 non-captain pilot) all proceeded to ragequit within a couple minutes. Thanks for forcibly removing me from the match I wanted to be in to enforce me starting in the match I tried to escape?
