In matchmaking, Captain joining should increase preparation time by 30 seconds.

You guys can always make your own lobby if you need more time to setup.

the problem is not time to set up its when I jump into a game with 3 seconds on the clock and cant do anything before the game starts, that really pisses me off because now I am stuck in a match practically without equipment or sometimes I'm a pilot now with a crew that was not even given the chance to get the right gear. And this has happened so often since the matchmaking started that I have actually stopped playing the game cause I cant deal with this shit.

I tend to pick metamidion before matchmaking as a pilot. Just like how I would always join a lobby as an engineer.That way if the match starts instantly I don't fail instantly. When joining PUGs the first match is always a learning period. Sometimes I learn the crew is hopeless, and no ammount of preperation will help. I would rather find that out sooner than delay the game trying to get a disfunctional crew functioning.
