What do you do to pass the time in MM?

Like I do but what bothers me about it is...in lobbies people used to wait for players to join and generally wanted human contact. With MM, AI has become an acceptable thing to have.

I've had the opposite experience. In the old system I'd frequently ready up and start matches dominated by all AI. Now it's hard to ready up without people joining. I haven't played with an all AI crew in about a week. I can't remember the last time the whole lobby was mostly AI. I rarely encounter ships that start with all AI but in the old system that was very common. Overall MM has greatly improved the all AI problem; I play a lot and don't see it.
As for most matches feeling like novice, that happens around a quarter or third the time with me and no different from the old system. The rest feel like regular pub matches. Currently there are few that feel like upper level pub matches, I'd guess a quarter or less. The rematches need to be changed so good lobbies don't disappear after 3 plays.

Well the proposed changes in dev app wont help the rematches unless its a good lobby of players who know where the rematch button is, otherwise unlimited rematches is a good thing... Still default to crew form :(
Squidslinger Gilder:
Probably play at different times. High pop vs low pop. When the pop is around 50 you can sit there for 30+ minutes before you get enough to even start a match under AI. Suspect a chunk of that number is AFKers cause steam cards. There is obviously at least 1 other match going. Usually when you make a custom and pull in from queue it nets about 3-6 people. So give or take looking at actual active numbers being closer to around 30 or lower. That is actually a little worse than it was pre MM. Before MM I was noticing the numbers would climb and drop but slowly gaining more to the baseline.

Which is insane if we think about it: crew reform is a voluntary process among friends. Should never be the standard

Default to crew form is for the benefit of Match Maker...
We should preach and spread the word of Rematch Button!
Alongside the word of Spanner Mallet (Not Mallet Spanner!)
