In regards to this point, we should have the option to create a full team. Preselecting a mix-o-corps as a team could be fun, nomsaying?]]> Wed, 7 Nov 2012 04:41:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/337562 <![CDATA[[Suggestion] matchmaking - by M4D DOG'S DUSTBUNNIE]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=390414#post390414 Tue, 6 Nov 2012 23:54:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/337561 <![CDATA[[Suggestion] matchmaking - by The Peregrine]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=390158#post390158
I like the idea of VR, or simulator matches too. No cost, no gain, no consequenses. No reason why that couldn't be implemented. It would be great for preparing for contract battles in the future too.]]> Tue, 6 Nov 2012 20:39:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/337560 <![CDATA[[Suggestion] matchmaking - by THUNDERGROOVE]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=389910#post389910 Tue, 6 Nov 2012 17:18:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/337559 <![CDATA[[Suggestion] matchmaking - by exegr]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=389855#post389855
I understand this has probably something to do with team balancing and we shouldnt expect an all corp team vs. randoms but the result is silly. Either quit match and try again until we finally get in together or the extra people get bored/tired and leave or play against each other and get no net reward as a corp (spending corp money on killing each other).

Here's the suggestion:

- Give players the ability to link squads (between or within corps) together and request a battle as conjoined squads.
- When this happens, do not insert them into a random match, rather, wait for a similar request (from some other corp or collection of corps).
- Once each collection of squads has been placed in each team, the game is free to add random squads/players to fill the spots, but not before.

If this would be too "organized" for random players, mark the match as a different type and give players the option to join or opt out of such matches.

On a similar note, please implement a persistent corp VR match (never expires, always running, no win condition), where corp members can join and test weapons/tactics on each other with virtual equipment (no ISK/AUR cost) and no SP gain.

A critical requirement would be that squad leaders have complete freedom to reorganize players in teams/squads during a match. This would provide the freedom to test several squad compositions without having to faff about the menus restarting a VR match as a different squad.
