I think he is saying he is one of those guys that drops afk all the time and doesn't want repair and rearm back in the game. He can say he didn't hide the fact and even told everyone on the forums about it.
About sub games, you will basically be playing alone. The market is so saturated it just wont happen. Its the biggest challenge this game faces of course. Trying to build a next gen game in this market is no easy task I imagine for a established Studio let alone a newer studio.

You can do dishes while waiting for a match?
No, I am not one of said AFK people. I have plenty of time to do a couple dishes, or fold some laundry, or whatever, and get back to my PC once I hear the drop-ship engines kick in. In fact, I report (and encourage other people too) the people who do go AFK like that because they wind up wasting even MORE of my time than the loading screens and searching times already do.
Repair and re-arm... well I don't really care about that at all, but it seems to me like it would make things pretty rough on new players and people who aren't all that good. It's one thing to reward players for doing well, but I think penalizing them for 'playing poorly' (in other words, getting screwed by the matchmaker, being on the receiving end of repeated one-sided stomps even though you had top damage every game) would lower the population of the low-tier/casual-players/cannon-fodder... match-making would probably take longer, but less atrociously terrible pilots in the field... I hate the wait times as-is, but the sheer incompetence of a large amount of the player base also annoys me to no end. Damned it you do, damned if you don't.
