The time it takes from clicking on the Launch button to actually playing the game is much longer now due to longer match searching times and the new dropship preparation screen (ready button) which adds an extra 60+ seconds of wait time. Please fix this on the next patch.

I suggest a mechanic where every player who presses their READY button would reduce the timer by 2 seconds. So, if NO player presses ready, the game will launch in 60 seconds. If every player presses ready, game will launch in total of 12 seconds. In most cases, something in between those two cases.

I'd like to see the mech variants and loadouts of my team members before the match starts but I need only a few seconds for that. Normaly I press the ready button, check the team and read a book while waiting. I'm already reading my second book while waiting for everyone readying or waiting for the match maker.

IMO the waiting time makes sense, if I get more Informations (e.g. loadouts) before the match starts otherwise it is wasted time (at least for playing as a lone wolf).
