In another MMO I play, if you need to leave your character for a while, you type /AFK in the chat and you get marked AFK in game letting people know you are not actively playing (though you can run around marked AFK).

Suggestion:

- Allow people to type /AFK if they need to leave their computer for some reason.
- If someone Disconnects (accident or on purpose) before being destroyed, they are automatically marked AFK.
- If they Disconnect, they can reenter that game removing the AFK setting.
- AFK Mechs do NOT count towards victory conditions.

- AFK Mechs cannot give or receive damage.

This could be abused to good effect.

Dead players should be able to take control of disconnected players mechs.
