Is it possible to look into the way each game starts regarding placement and ready'ing up?
currently its based on who has the faster connection/pc and they pick the "op" spots and can insta ready. Theres no real discussion and unready option which can cause issues.
Whilst i dont believe its broken, i think it would help new players atleast if there was a better method and an option to unready and move.

right now, the ready button is rarely even useful because most games get !forcestart'd
so yeah an easy first-step would be either making the ready button a toggle between ready/unready - or just removing it entirely and rely on people calling !forcestart, but I don't really like that option
as for choosing spawns, an option would be waiting until all players have loaded before letting anybody pick spots

an option for picking spots could be to allow everyone to pick their desired spot. If 2 coms are close then they are unable to ready up

last time i've played Zero-K they had no ready button, but you could freely change position of the commander, and the game started the moment everyone picked the position

That would be terrible wait time for most of people because some potato loads for ages

Then they just forcestart the game?

idk im just spit balling ideas. I guess it would require everyone to be ready before the game can start
the idea of a forcestart commands pretty weird anyway to be honest
I get why its used and i use it myself but its pretty backwards.

usually because of a few people who forgot to ready up or cba
maybe a 60s countdown once everybody has loaded and then game is auto-forcestarted, although that would probably cause problems every so often
basically everything has a trade-off between starting games faster and starting fucked games
with more checks (like needing to join queue, then ready up in lobby, then ready up in game), the time until games start is longer, but the chance of the started game being ok is better
if we can reduce the need for duplicate checks (like players only needing to ready up once) then we can speed up the process
I think being able to unready could potentially even speed up games, in cases where people currently need to reconnect to replace

I think if we ever get to the point of running a minimum rank possibility, it would be nice if highest os picks spot first and it trickles down to lowest os picks last. Once all players place, the game auto starts. This is not a solution for the standard everyone welcome battle though. It is a more competitive option.

This is an excellent idea
