I read alot on subject on players not tabbed because they are AFK because of longer wait in bigger (also smaller) rooms. How about if you make Host able to ready thoose players that ar`t tabbed. Now we only see as host only one big red ban icon under then ship. Well split that bar in 1/2.

#left M click green : ready player up
#right M click red : ban player out

To be short just let the host deside what to do with thoose players. He wants to be host so watches the room anyway. and it would save alot of waiting time most rounds. that would also create more battles in every hour played.

Also i would like to see a Warning button for the host only in right top corner so he can allert the room with message onscreeen and sound (something like battle stations and flashing clearly onscreen) that the game is about to start. So he does`t need every time to type in TAB up TAB up.

So on first sugesstion you give host bit more work but you even that out with the warning battle start round button.

From what I remember, TNF is planning on adding a feature in which if 90% of the room is tabbed, the game will start.

I know the word AB is coming up in this treat and everybody is thinking it happens if you give the host the option to tab and untab players. On the ohter side it will point out and expose AB players or host mutch faster. So with the propper reporting then its way mutch easyer to report and deal with it for TeamNF.

Well its an idea and all know there is in everything always an plus and minus with ideas. And that is what this is al about. But i see already combined with ohter ideas in sugestions it could work. Only there shoud be then also a tournemant mode so autobalance is not actief. But we have on the server areas enough where you can make a tournement room.

I for one only really have a problem with the players who do not tab and don't say anything. It may be a language barrier, but if a player is unresponsive then the host should have some way to deal with it other than banning.

How about if the host tabs all the untabbed are kicked and the game begins? Not a perfect solution, but tabbed players should not be held up for those who are AFK and not tabbed.

I don't agree about the tabbing solution. Which is worse; untabbed (/afk) ship in open room, or afk ship in battle?

But the warning button is good idea. also a sound, that plays, if you haven't got the NF currently as your mainwindow (/fullscreen).

mmm

Sometimes people dont tab because they dont agree with the balance... how do you want to cope with that. I think thats more important than AFK players.

Babs out!
