The goal of this post is to get the raider mode que time down to 3 minutes . . .

Pre guild update a raider mode match would start if only 2 players were que at the same time . . .

Current patch (rebel) it seems 3 players are required to be qued at the same time in order for the match to start . . .

I personally find the raider mode que is too long for me to be interested in waiting and I dont play raider mode any more and I just que for normal mode because the que is faster and I can join matches in progress so it is really a lot faster que times.

===== SUGGESTION =====

So Ima try to paint a hypothetical picture here, with my goal being a simple to understand and simple to imagine scenario that is hypothetical . . .

Scenario #1:

Player #1 ques up raider mode . . .
2 minutes go by . . .
Nobody else joins the que . . .
But at the 2 minute mark = The lobby is "primed" for a 1v1 and primed for a small 1v1 map like merchant ship or mining frigate . . .
Now that the lobby is primed . . .
If someone else joins the raider mode que then the match will start instantly as a 1v1 . . .

===== GENERAL FEEDBACK =====

Player base is too small to support 3 players being que for raider mode at the exact same time, in my opinion. I think if the que is longer than 3 minutes then something would ideally be changed by the Devs, in my opinion.

Again, the goal of this post is to have a consistent raider mode with ques under 3 mins 😄 ❤️

Curious - where did you get the 2 and 3 player minimums from for the Raider mode?

Asking because I am pretty sure the matchmaker is still looking for 6 minimum players for Raider mode and 6 min. crews in normal mode based on a post from Gohjira from a while back. I am not aware of any changes to the numbers he mentioned. Here's the link to that post:

That said I do support lowering the matchmaker minimums so people can get into matches when the concurrent numbers are low. Made a post about it on this channel quite a while ago. https://discord.com/channels/695304399303606395/1226211748361535630

midnight cove Curious - where did you get the 2 and 3 player minimums from for the Raider mode...

@midnight cove That post is 4 months old now. I test raider mode last night and it is 3. Can test it yourself or someone else can. Then post what you discover here. If it was 6 for raider mode then I dont think the match would start.

And you will have to read my original post more carefully. Reference to 2 to 3 is regarding my suggestion.

3 being the current minimum a raider mode requires in order for the match to start. 3 players que at the same time. As far as I can tell . . .
