You're welcome?
I think myself as a decent team player. Won my first four matches because we had a guy with a mic who knew what he was doing. He called the shots, and I followed. It was a lot of fun.
Then I lost the next few I played because it didn't have that level of direction.

Until you develop unconcious tics and instincts from having the principles beat into your head by vets, you will need that direction. Were you in a novice match? If no, GTFO and get back into said Novice matches before you quit the game from frustration, trust me.
If you have questions, ask the Community Ambassadors, post on the Q n' A board, and talk to people. If you want some pointers, I'd be glad to either A) pass what little knowledge I have on, or B) point you towards someone with a vast repository of general knowledge and knowhow. Feel free to friend me in game!
See you in the Skies, and good luck! o7

I know that pain. I too have had good matches where a guy with a mic knows what he's doing, and is communicating well with his ally. On the other hand, I have had some bad ones because my crew was all jerks, or just because the other team was really experienced in the game.
I see you've taken a notice to Engineer by the looks of your level stats. If you want some pointers from a fellow engi, I'd be willing to teach what I know (still learning from fellow Gents above me actually), and get ya familiarized with ship layouts and the like. :)

Getting chem cycles taught before the regular matches will have Captain's loving you like their firstborn child.

I like the Engi, because I can still help with gunning sometimes if the match is going well and we're not taking hits. I'm not bad on a gun, so I might do some side-leveling as a Gunner at some point.
I'll give you a friend request later on.

I don't think forumites are against steam sales, I think they dislike the random grab bag of players that comes with them.
I don't like doing laundry, but I know it is necessary if I want clean clothes to wear. In the same way game population management is necessary, and one aspect of that is changing the price of the game to keep new players coming in. This generates a fair chunk of work for those of us who play pub games with random crews since we get a healthy influx of clueless players, stupid players, inexperienced players, and grade A asshats. I think it is important to distinguish between these folks. We were all clueless and inexperienced once, and up to a point there is nothing people can do about being a bit thick. We don't have to tolerate the asshats though.
How we can enjoy the game changes during sales and some people really dislike that change. In the same way that a full hamper tells me it is time to crank up the washing machine, a sub 200 online population tells Muse it is time to put out a steam sale.
