Hi all

Been playing since beta and gotta says Sins is a great game, also good to see that the online side of things is gathering strength.

But there a few thing which would really make the game sing in my mind.

1)
Custom multiplayer maps need an option to group team mates together so that in a 4v4 in 2 star systems each team will always end up in thier own star. I say option becuase there are times when you may want all teams split up but atm its random and getting e.g. 3 v 1 in two star system kinda sucks for the 1's. even for sinbgle star maps teams should be have a bunch up option.

2)
When in online lobby channel everyone sits in the general lobby everytime somone joins any scrolling you are doing gets reset back to the start so if you scrolling names trying to find if somone is online you keep getting bounced back to the top of the list which is anyoing after a while.

3)
Sins takes a while to play out a game, saving is great and the fact differnt people can join a saved game to make up the numbers is also very very cool, however I'd like to see one better. If playing a 4v4 and someone drops I'd like them to be able to rejoin mid game, better still if somone drops becuase they have to leave I'd like any random player able to jump into the action and take control of the empire. Give the host control over the joining so that they can choose to prevent new people joining.
I cant tell you the number of times I've played a 3v3 or 4v4 and somone drops from the game 20-30mins into play it basically screws up the teams making it impossible for the team down a man to continue and have a reasonable chance at winning

Last point is by no means a must more just a nice feature for down the road, would be nice to have an in depth ranking board with quite a few statistics , such as games won with less than 20 planets, less than 40 etc number of times disconnected without surrendering first. plus a ranking board accessible through ironclad so that you can see top ranked players and if they are online or not. also making it easier to se if you walk into a 2v2 and team 1 is 2 high ranked plaeyers and your in there with some newb hehehe.
