With the following limitations:

• The matchmaker can only use up to 2 solo players per team.
  
• The matchmaker can not use solo players to fill teams with less than a 10 player group.

This would allow for groups of 11, would not allow a 12-man to face a group of for example, two fours and four soloists etc and would expose solo players to group play, perhaps encouraging them further to consider a unit. At the very least, they might learn more about the game via interaction with these groups.

Why only 2? Because I believe PGI should start small and see how this shapes out, get some community feedback before opening the valve any further. Personally I would not believe that more than 3 soloists with a team of nine would result in fair matches, but I might be wrong...additionally, perception in the minds of the customers might see matches as horribly unfair past such a point regardless of actual game metrics to the contrary.

So, start off small, with no more than 2 players per side as soloists and see how it works out.

I personally, would much prefer to land on a 10-11 person group as a soloist and try to tag along and follow their actions ingame even if I'm not on comms, rather than deal with the complete randomness that infects much if not most of the current public queue.

I would like to have the option to enter group queue even if dropping solo.

Just put a "group queue allowed" switch in the game-mode selection box and i'll be happy to put it "on".
