The answer to pub balance is no in-game comms as a cherry on top and the primary mechanic being no premade squads. I've preached this again and again and as part of my CPM campaign. Simple matchmaking mechanics will sort players that show a history of squading together or are in the same corp.
Let pubs be the "one player just jumps in and goes for it mode." Casual jamming, not dire tryhard swampass machismo.
No skin off tryhard scrubs since they have two, count them two, game modes for their circle jerking boy lovin'.
In the spirit of GD chatGǪ discuss.

but seriously, why do you want to get rid of the social aspects?
The idea wih comms is to level the playing field because it is all about queueing and playing and new players need to focus on how to play while casuals like me just want to play without worrying about mouth breathers.
The comms part isn't important to that game play. It becomes important as one becomes more familiar with the game and is a good way to promote moving people towards joining corps and seeking the social aspect when ready to progress.
Let's face it, if someone wants the social aspect then pushing then towards FW and PC is a good thing.

Well, the EVE way is also open world sandbox. One can always go solo or separate into skill levels with others freely by the very nature of system security status et al.
We are worrying about a matchmaking algorithm because we are restricted by lobby mechanics.

And I thought of that. No problem. At least in game won't promote organized comms. The tryhards will always find ways to scrub it in pubs, but at least they have to go around to the back door.
Also, they have to hope they get on the same team. Sure, the matchmaking mechanics would already reduce the whole organized and communicating thing, but hey, might as well push the two way blind option just in case too many blow buddies end up on the same team due to lack of player base.
Oh yeah, the small dying player base! Lol.

If I'm going to get screwed, I'd rather it be fate then some pecker heads setting me up with idiots on my team ._. Meta lvl locked matches are the way for CCP to go, for those that can't compete with the more experienced guys using better gear or those who just want to take it easy and save some isk. This is a multiplayer game, most of us have friends they like to play with and factions do not provide ISK payouts like pubs do. So turning off chats and squads for pub contracts just seems like a stupid idea to me.
Well, it sounds like then there should be a pubs for new/solo that goes beyond just an extended academy and then have a social, group oriented pubs.
What do y'all say to certain modes like ambush be the solo, casual and then group oriented versions like dom.
I'd like to have a quick play mode that would be like I described in the OP and that could give very little isk and sp because it's all about the playstyle. Then, the group oriented pubs that would still have restrictions to premade squads, but would promote open comms.
Maybe have a forced team comms. While in the coop pub play the team chat is open and you can't change it so as to promote the social cooperation among people who usually don't play together. Closed premade squad chat is just as antisocial based on the responses if you think about it. I mean, you're not expanding your social circle sticking with premades with people you already know.

No comms, you are a fool.
This is all together a hairbrain idea.
Why do you still play pubs? You have been around a long time. Its like you are asking for the stomps to stop so you can farm newbs like the scrub you are. Pathetic.
Lol. Busted!
Hmm, 43, two kids, a vision and muscle problem that is most likely myasthenia gravis, a job, buying a console for skylanders for my kids that I could also kick the tires on a promising addition to EVE, ended up with a dinky version of a game that looked far more promisingGǪ
Stop me if you see a reason I should really pour more of my time and effort into a video game, especially this one.
Pubs are casual, players are wanting a solution to matchmaking, my idea is far more simple than trying to code complex algorithms or meta lock matches on a small playerbase.
