I like the auto select country, hopefully won't be abused by the griefers.
I was a big fan of this change. I note here one of the problems I experienced with it this night.
I logged in, selected the auto-switch function and, when my sortie ended, I was moved to a different side for the next flight. Over the course of the next few sorties, a nice battle developed between my base of origin and the nearest enemy base. This is the sort of thing I really enjoy; you get shot down, and like Jack, you re-up and go gunnin' for the man who stole your water. This went on for several sorties. Everyone smiled, even bedraggled me.
AND THEN, just as I was scheduled to meet Svaalbar in that zone of operations, I was automatically switched to a different side, far, far away, in another galaxy, almost. No longer did I have a chance to revenge myself against Weiser, or, for that matter, did he have a chance to collect more Oldman pelts. Fortunately I was able to meet Svaal on the other side of the map, and another battle developed out of that encounter. In a way, all was good.
I suppose the lesson is to un-click the auto-switch option once you've found a place you like. Something for all of us to remember.
