Captains to be able to kick players off of ships.
Mill Wilkinson:
I'm with Kestril here. I am a complete newbie (and a gunner at that), and thus I am always worried I do not pull my weight in the crew. I hate the situation when I am getting yelled at simply because nobody TOLD me that the enemy is closing in from the other side. I spend more time fixing things than shooting, and that is fine if I am being communicated with.
If some kick option was implemented, I would be flying off more ships than empty cartridges during a barrage simply for the reason I am a low-end gunner and the pilot/other crew is judging me before trying. And my best matches have been with a random crew who were guided by the pilot with simple voice-commands.
Vasinth:
I myself did not yet run into a situation when i would need a kick option, but I understand why something at least simmilar would be needed.
Consider an option a bit different than a kick: vote kick.
Basicly the same as kick but you would point a player which you'd want to kick and give a short reason (ie 'afk') and start the voting. Then if at least x out of y players agreed with this kick the afker would get kicked but if not nothing would happen. This way the kick just cause would be at limited thou it would still be there for those rare occasions. Imagine a second captain getting on your only manticore leaving your gunner useles and blocking most of the ship's offensive functionality then not responding to any form of contact - annoying.
HamsterIV:
I had an idea for the kick mechanic that will never be implemented. What if kicking a player off your ship resulted in the AI replacing them getting a little bit dumber? That way captains who kick to make room for their friends (a legitimate reason to kick some one IMO) aren't adversely effected. Where as people who kick to avoid teaching newbies are stuck with even more useless AI. In the instance where you have a troll, replacing them with a semi useless AI would be preferable.
Captain Smollett:
What if kicking someone off your ship didn't actually remove them from your ship but instead ejected them off the side causing them to shoot off and respawn.
I don't think this would solve any problems but it would certainly create lots of hilarity and relieve pilot frustration .

could be a new pilot tool "the plank".... but to get back on track... Kicking has been a topic of discussion for a while, and I believe the general consensus is that it would most likely lead to fragmentation of this great community (which is not good)
