Well, that's maybe because you was responsive and willing to learn from first day of playing? Those are the kind of players that keep me coming back to the game, and I would like to be matched with them more often, letting the non-communicative ones stay in their own silent cesspool of non-cooperative matches.
secondary weapon fire modes and zoom do not necessarily exclude each other. A lot of shooters have got both. I for one could certainly find another key to bind for such a feature.
I'd actually prefer more flexibility over the balance. the restrictions add frustration and stress, and in the end make the experience as a whole less fun. fun is what I'm trying to achieve, and while balanced matches are a lot of fun, I don't go into this game expecting a perfectly balanced match every single game. and hell, I've had a match where the crew and I sang Still Alive as we got stomped. it was hilarious and awesome, would repeat. it's not the balance that makes the game fun, it's the people that I crew with. I want to be able to crew with the people that I have fun with whenever I want, and easily.
I would still rather see match list go in alongside matchmaking - use the matchmaker to fill in the crevices and balance where it can, and to bring the people that don't want to hunt for a match an easy way into a match, but let those of us that want to search through for something more specific do so. no, it won't be balanced, but it's not balanced now, either. I am willing to concede the match list completely with good reason (balance would be a good enough reason, but again, it's not balanced now, so I don't see any reason for the match list to not exist right now), but I absolutely do not want to lose the ability to quickly and easily hop into a friend's match, especially not for the sake of balance. the current system is still much too restrictive.
Mezhu, swapping slots through spectate was a feature the player base that tested the game fought for, since they removed the swap slot function otherwise and still want to restrict. when I first tested, they didn't allow people to move from spectate at all - but a lot of people move to spectate for a match while they're eating or answering a phone call, or they'll start in spectate and want to jump in once a slot opens up with their friends. additionally, sometimes people try to join their group of friends and wind up on the wrong team.
After a game ends and the team returns to the crew formation I notice a lot of people leave to re enter the match making queue as individuals. However a few people linger in the crew formation screen scattered about non full ships (often without a captain). When the lead captain goes to search for a new game it takes a very long time because the search has to find open spots for a full ship and the malingerers in the crew formation. It would be rude to ask the malingerers to leave and ineffective if they are AFK. Yet I want to keep my current crew without having to create a new crew formation screen.
What I would like to have is the ability to detach my ship in the crew formation screen and be put into the match making queue as a 4 player ship. That way I can keep the same crew, join a new game faster, and not offend people who hang around in the crew formation for no good reason.
Edit: It feels like this should already be a feature. Did I miss some part of the UI that does this?
