I propose having a Mini Game in hangar while waiting in queue.
This mini game will only be available while in queue and will help to pass the time.
The game can be a “Decode the Alien Signal” game in the form of a puzzle or logic game. EG. Minesweeper, Soduku, an Anagram, Jigsaw… etc.
If the pilot completes the puzzle before the Matchmaker finds a match, the pilot will be rewarded with random loot equivalent to what one would find in loot search after PvE or in invasion containers.
Once daily rewards of rare loot could be applied as well as a 5 day bonus.
At Least for me, this would make longer queue times of 5+ min go by faster.
