when I have been search for more then 30 minutes, I'm guessing there is a 12man plus in that faction, and I'm missing any FP due to not enough to form a second 12.

or is the search timing out on me, but not actually timing out for me.

I hardy see any IS on my Friends list, but a crap load of clan on the friends online, and there should be more on that are just dropping solo, me thinks anyways . . .

I'm just wondering if I'm getting dropped from search, but still in the search window, specially after a hour search ???

There's a multitude of factors that will affect getting into a match dropping solo, the least likely is that you're getting 'dropped from search'. TBH I don't even know if that's a thing that happens.

Check the war log. If there's been no completed matches in the timeframe you've been searching, then there aren't 11 other folks queued up from your side.

If there have been completed matches, then it's 1) a 12 man premade, so no slots for you or 2) there's pilots who have been waiting longer in queue than you that are getting picked up first.

Might not be enough to form a 12 and get a lobby.

Usually happens on Monday / Tuesday (my time) each week at this time.

Just check warlog as per above. I bet there are no games going on at all.

just the part that confuses me . . I never even see a Call to arms, so that sez, there are no clan either

I was just worried I was being dropped from Que, but not dropped, already know the main times a play has the least pop. has me worried if I'll ever get any Solaris time in

according to the war log, about every 20 minutes . .. must be 12 man then, so I'm just getting passed on

Dropped last night and got 5 instadrops or at least insta-lobby and then a drop within a couple minutes. The first four matches we were a full 12 the last we had 11 though, so I know that's helping us.

Monday was slower but we still got 5 drops in.

Real simple. Too many chose IS this week. I went clan for a week and wait over 20 minutes for a drop. I’m sure next week will be good

I would suggest getting Team Speak set up and trolling the server's for active groups. That way you can join up and drop in numbers. Also, sometimes folk'll chat load outs and tactics whilst waiting.

Just find a group, drop into channel. Wait a few seconds to make sure there's no active calls an ask if they're inna match. Most'll let you know where they're at and if they've room and what not. Or you'll get the occasional, 'What, didn't you guys go IS? We're clan now, go get in a group and drop against us so we can shoot you.'

But yeah, if solo dropping, I'd recommend a good book.
