Just a thought. I hear a lot of people complaining how they're always pitted up against squads. So make a Contract where you cannot queue up if you are in a squad. Can only queue up solo.
Foreseeable Outcomes
- Can't fill out full teams because all the lone wolves leave to go join the lone wolf queue, leaving teams unfinished, thus extending the wait time for Skirmish and Ambush type maps.
---- Fix: Make it so Lone Wolf Contracts pay less, or make Public Contracts (normal) pay more. The idea is that it'll still be the risk versus reward. I would suggest doing both, that way the risk of running into organized squads is higher, but the payout is better. The lone wolves will pay less as an introduction for new players to get a feel for the way the game works.
--------- Subproblem. You'll still run into the occasional person who runs all proto gear and use this method to farm kills or pad his KDR. That's fine, but the payout won't be able to reimburse him for his suit, if he gets killed even once.
- Possible Queue synching which, as I understand CCP is trying to prevent people from exploiting the match making mechanics in such a manner.
- No Squad bonuses/Orbital Squad Play.
---- Fix: Auto assign players into squads once they're plugged into the match and give an on-screen notification to the player who's squad leader so that they can carry out their duties accordingly.
Another idea is Militia matches. Where the only suits you can use are the starter suits. But, I think that's a bit much.

I like the idea of militia matches, but the higher SP players will be at an advantage due to passive abilities. Lone Wolf contracts would be pretty cool though.

I've been.asking for a squad free mode forever.
Put your flags up in the sky.
And wave them side to side.
Show the world where you're from.
Show the world we are one.

I like this idea except for the assigning me to a random squad and expecting me to listen to some random squad leader who most likely is going to be an idiot. I have never played with a squad and I have no intention on ever playing with a squad. |

I have calculated no less than 5 ways a lonewolf queue would agitate me and cause me to hunt ways to kill blueberries by any means necessary.
I already shoot the REs the nerds forget to check for.
+5 equipment destroyed.
No FF penalty.
EVE Online is what you get when engineers attempt to create "fun" without consulting someone who comprehends the word.
