Like, 8 them, 2 on every ship in a 2v2? I understand, flying with friends is a lot more fun, but from an image standpoint, warming up to your customers is always a good thing.
It's spicing the work professionalism with a bit of human warmth. It can never be wrong =) We'd all like to fly with you.

Isn't the point of it to beat the devs? i.e. they need to all be on one team so that the other team can beat them for a prize?

That's what I thought, I've always found it confuzzling that they let the teams scramble.
Get stuck with a plonker as a pilot, this is unfortunate and only luck, all you can do is try again next week.
The fact people are offered a free gift just for playing against the devs is a real kindness from the devs as they're removing a need for people to pay for items, thus removing a form of income for themselves..
But yeah all I can suggest is try again next dev match.
Watch the dev match on Twitch to get the password earlier and choose which team you'll be on. :)
Dr Brobotnik:
I guess it is what it is.

The most important thing to make a note of though, is that they host the dev matches! :)
A dev team who want to be involved with their community and want to reward their community in a small way, just for spending time with them.
A bad pilot and loosing the matches is unfortunate, all you can do is advise him better tactics and give him hints and tips during the match.
I once had a dev match with an engineer on my ship, he had some tech issues which caused him to be unable to move in game, while me and Keyvias tried to help him, mid-match he admitted he didn't want the tech help, but did want a win, so I took a screenshot of the mid-match screen to proove his name on my ship, explained I'd email that screenshot to muse as proof he took part, if he'd use esc afk option to give me an AI engineer... The player refused labelling my words as lies while staying on ship, while his character struggled to move, done no repairs..
Two matches we lost like that, maybe he was troll, maybe he was just genuinely unable to trust my word, but it happened and everyone else on my team tried their best for a win, but we still lost, it happens. Three days later I took part in the next dev match and got a win, which I used to get a gift for my friend.

The most obvious one is how starting your three matches (assuming you never win) with a bad captain can completly bone you for every rematch (you'll probably lose each one).
It also didn't help that the first match started with the Muse team loading two full boats. Possibly stacked matches asides, is this whole "stuck with a total donker" issue actually fixable?
Vote out captains between matches? Nope, Muse is strictly against any vote based exclusion.
Send players to a dev-match specific lobby where they can recrew onto teams? Seems like a lot of effort for it, programming wise.
I guess that condensed, I am finding it disheartening how vs developer matches, a chance for players to tast their SKILL vs the devs, can be screwed from the start by the pure essence of LUCK.
So, is the only solution to join as a pre-made team of competence? With people you know you play well with? Actually, can you even join as a team with one click?
What are ya'all's feelings about this thing? I'm not trying to tell anyone what to do or what to think. Just my 2 cents.
