Problem:
You decide to fight on a planet, but a match won't start until there's 24 players involved. And in the meantime... Let's say I always have a book beside me when I play MWO. Always.
Wait-times of up to 25 minutes, yes, they happen. For a game-mode that lasts 30 minutes.

Strategic actions become impossible: Me, I fight on the nextbest planet where another match is about to end so I know there will be free players again.



Solution:
Allow a player to wait for matches at several planets at the same time.
You wait at planet A, at planet B and at planet C at the same time. And wherever the necessary 24 players assemble first, that's where you join a match (or ghost-drop). And of course you get removed from the waiting-lists of the other two planets.

suggesting a more agressive mod: allow for true mercenaries.
players who just want the match and are willing to fight for whatever faction needs people on whatever front.

simple as that. a population of a few hundred mercenaries would even solve the current tukkayidd imbalance issue...

thats exactly what it sounds like: factionless, dishonourable rabble filling the ranks as better then sandbags.
but it will definitely fix the issue.

ANY suggestion is better than this current version of QueWarrior:Online.

I've resorted to playing other games that have a pause function while I wait.

Well they simply should "cheat":

3 units of IS waiting for match
1 unit oc Clans waiting for match

MAKES:

1IS vs 1clan
1IS vs 1IS (but both seem to fight against claners...)

And IF it must be planetchoice:
Team 1 wants to be on planet A
Team 2 wants to be on planet B
Team 3 wants to be on planet C
Team 4 wants to be on planet D

Tell Team 1 its on planet A but fights against Team 2 which is told its on Planet B
Tell Team 3 its on planet C but fights against Team 4 which is told its on Planet D


problem solved easily
