I'd rather see the Lobby as a place to play cards; gambling for perks or something.
This is by far the best idea i've seen yet in the wishlist forum. Add Texas hold'em - i would put my perks up for that! You get a total perk amount (i.e if you have 20 fighter, 20 bomber, 20 vehicle then you have 60 total perks) when you game you have 60 perks to play with, whatever you win or lose, gets divided by the 3..
So you could "All in" or lose everything

I would certainly be a fan of this during hoard hours :\
