Every time more than 4 people in our corp are online, we spend more time faffing about than playing the game. This is majorly due to the fact that trying to get in matches all together always results in us playing on different teams.
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.

Will probably happen. You have to remember that even though the beta has been going on for quite some time, that they are still adding new stuff all the time. Once the game is in a somewhat "finished" state I'm sure we will have more advanced matchmaking options. |

Corp members should NEVER be pitted against each other. Period. Balance is an issue anyways, even playing with all randoms. Especially once the game is fully released and integrated with EVE, corp members being put on opposite teams is counter productive. I don't care if they're in a different squad, they should be on the same side. Maybe being able to form groups larger than squads ("corp launch") would fix this?
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. |

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? |
