Please don't make Ambush the only game mode I want to queue for.
Ambush, eh? If you're like me, you'll play one or two rounds, then you'll turn off the game. This is coming from a guy who used to run Ambush all day. It hasn't been fun to play since the FW event. 
@ Queue Consolidation (another idea)

Acquisition
Ambush + Ambush OMS
Domination
Skirmish
Caldari vs Gallente
Amarr vs Minmatar
PC
^ Plenty of different queues spreads out the playerbase too much, leading to ridiculous queue times and harder time for Scotty to do his matchmaking magic.
If squad size is reduced to 4 and if we reduced the number of queues to
[PUB] Solo queue GÇö Ambush, Ambush OMS
[PUB] Squad (4) queue GÇö Acquisition, Domination, Skirmish Lite (3-point)
[FW] Amarr&Caldari vs Gallente&Minmatar GÇö Skirmish Proper (5-point)
[PC] GÇö Skirmish Proper (5-point)
It would be quicker to find battles and the battles would be better since the playerbase would be condensed into fewer queues.

"I play ONLY amb/skirm/dom"
and "If MY game mode gets combined with another queue I gonna play NOTHING"
or "If MY game mode gets transferred I QUIT playing"
Why can't we accept that sometimes you get your favourite specific mode, sometimes you don't?
We shouldn't expect to cherry pick every single match.
Hating Ambush is pretty common. Hating Dom is pretty common. The folks who hate both play Skirm. If you take away Skirm (without improving Ambush or Dom), there's a chance those folks will quit. I don't think that lecturing them will improve our odds of retaining them.

Recycled Ideas:
* Remove battleserver toggle; group players by ping
* Reduce squad size to 4
* Disable FW when headcounts drop below a given threshold

In either case, I would like to see people punished for leaving. They are less than worthless and waste everybody's time.
At present headcounts, every player is worth something.
A challenge:
Convert Ambush to a solo queue.
Compare percentage of battles left between the solo queue and squad queues.
See if headcounts and daily logins grow once casuals and soloists have a place to play.
People want to have fun, and that isn't unreasonable. Being partyboy fodder isn't fun. Burning through Isk to keep up isn't fun. If casuals had a place to play, I think we just might turn around the headcount decline. I know I'd play more often.

One of the multitude of necessary actions in increasing the player count is to make sure matchmaking and wait times are good. If the game is good and balanced and user experience in general is good, then chances are the game will be rewarded with more players.
Improve Match Quality:
* Squad Size = 0 - Ambush, Ambush OMS
* Squad Size = 4 - Dom, Acquisition, Skirm (3pt)
* Squad Size = 8 - FW (5pt), PC (5pt), Raids
* Remove Train Map from circulation
* Set Dom and Acquisition vehicle quota to 2
Increase Match Availability:
* FW, Raids - Open on Weekends
* Merge Dom and Acquisition queues
