Captains to be able to kick players off of ships.

(1/9) > >>

Rizqo:
Hello everyone,

This is just a quick question really, but do you think captains will be able to kick players off there ship while there in and out of game?

This came to mind when a group of us was playing on Guns of Icarus and a player joined are team, they done absolutely nothing to benefit our team so it made us lose the game.
I guess people will agree and disagree with this, but I would like to see this implemented as it does get annoying when a group of trolls just run around your ship messing around, it just ruins the game for everyone really.

 Thank you for reading this, please reply soon.

Perhaps, but if such a system was implemented, it would probably need some sort of method of guarding who is allowed to do the kicking.  I'd say having X amount of commendations would probably be the best way.  Proof that you may not be a jerk.

Still though, I'm not sure that it would be a good thing for the game if you could kick people.  It'd probably be way better to communicate why someone is doing something wrong, and ask them to do something else.  Some games you are gonna end up with 3 powder monkeys, but eh, can't win em all.

Hmm, that's a problem since we've first set.. engines and took to the skies. Players not joining with the needed classes can be countered by fixing the class positions, but players who simply aren't doing their job.. well.

You can usually reach everyone aboard the ship by sending them a private message in the chat, even if they don't speak English they'll understand something is wrong once they see a dozen of lines suddenly popping up there.

The only thing I could think of to allow kicking players would be.. not responding. That comes down to being AFK, and players already get replaced by an AI crewmember if they're AFK.

A workaround would be locking ships for friends or for invitation. Meaning, you tick that little "private" (or whatever) button next to your ship, and only people from your friends tab can join.

The fear is that people will start kicking new crewmembers instead of trying to teach them the basics.  The reality is that anyone who wants to be a dick simply takes advantage of the fact that they can act with impunity.  This creates problems because it's very easy for someone that wants to be a dick to use any variety of excuse to avoid trouble, one of the more convenient ones being that they don't speak English (except when they feel like taunting you in English).  And since non-English speakers tend to be silent, it's hard to know that they're not intentionally being douchebags and really just don't know that taking the front gun and not shooting is a bad thing.  It's very hard to gauge someone's intent and so outside moderation is pretty ineffective.

It makes me wonder how Adventure Mode will turn out if the stakes for each battle are raised.  The only reason the game currently can get away with not having any self-moderating tools is because battles themselves are pretty meaningless, stats aren't publicly visible or commonly shared.  If resources or ship upgrades are on the line one person being a dick is going to do a lot more damage than wasting ten minutes of your time.

I too would like a kick option to deal with uncooperative players. Right now I deal with a trolls by leaving the ship and joining the other team. which kinda sucks if I have a good team/crew going.
