Improving join-in-progress

I thought of a way to improve the current system of join-in-progress by a small amount. Introduce a button: “Join match immediately”. This means that those who know exactly what ship they want to fly don’t need to wait for 15 seconds while their captain is potentially dying or their team is losing all the beacons, and can immediately get in on the action. Those that need the time to select their ships can still do so, as before.

Join in beacon hunt: 120-200. Yeah!

The problem is that there has to be ships on both sides launched into battle at the same time.

It would only be 15 seconds difference max. You get that difference if someone spawns in a recon compared to a destro for example. Like I say, this is only a small improvement and I don’t claim it solves the problem of joining a game that’s already lost.

It’s like separated MM once again. We can’t do that.

Not at all! It’s only 15 seconds!
