I just had my game crash on initial load while the character turns on all the systems and then I can't que up until the game was over. Is it plausible to have a reconnect option for a game crash or d/c in the future?

I expect that this would help the quality of the games and reduce the frustrations of trying to play the game.

I agree, most definitely. Having a reconnect option would reduce a lot of frustration whenever I experience a crash or my game freezes up. I could simply reboot and rejoin the match, and meanwhile pray my mech wasnt totalled in the meantime. For an example, World Of Tanks has a re-connect mechanic, and is relatively similar in overall gameplay (take a tank in, cant use it again until match finishes, one life only, etc). Perhaps something like that could be implemented

I thought i read a post about it being in early stages of planning, but I can't find it now. I get disconnected in WoT 50 times more than MWO. Anyway I agree it would be a great feature but I get the feeling that a portion of the disconnects are intentional. Seems alot of disconnects happen on Alpine

Yes, I read that somewhere on forum where PGI wrote features, if you will disconnect there will be an option to back in game

Hope so...a lot of times I get booted right back to the mech lab and it would be so easy to push a button to get back in. Most of my disconnects, if they are going to happen, are within a minute of dropping and the enemy hasn't even been sighted yet.
