Ever since the new update.....

There I'll be, flying along happily, just about to drop my eggs or shoot at someone.......when some nonce I've never heard of sends me a join request.

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGH!

message to anyone who likes to gun: It's polite to at least ASK before intruding on someone elses online experience.

message to HTC: Pls, pls, pls, pls, pls make the join request window that appears MUCH smaller and nowhere near the center of the screen.

copy-and-pasted from V 1.07 release news:

"New dot command ".showjoin" works as a toggle to show join requests in pop-up boxes or in the message bar. If the requests are shown in the message bar, the user must use ".accept GameID" to accept a gunner. A text description is sent to the user's message bar each time ".showjoin" is entered to show which way join requests will appear."

There should be a way to make .showjoin stay SAVED like SHIFT-F1 and Icon settins, etc.

Sometimes when I log in I forget to type .showjoin, and last night, I had some newby try to join me in the middle of a fight, right when I had a gun solution on an LA7

It was frustrating.

It doesnt save? Aw balls. In that case, refer to my original statement.

It'd make more sense to allow players to create "mini-missions" for various aspects of the game that require teamwork (flying gunner, flying wingman, bringin' on the troops to an adhoc field attack), those kinda things.

And have a 'teamwork' button instead of a 'join' button, and put it on the main clipboard instead of the hangar. A lot of people are clicking 'join' thinking that they have to click that to get into their vehicle.
