What they need is an AUTOSTART function. Countdown is nice, but the Host needs to be eliminated entirely.
Rooms should open automatically when another room has closed and started.
The process should be set up during the room selection process (GB1, GB2, # of players, etc.) When a threshold (i.e. 20/8) has been met, the room closes automatically, splits, and starts.
20 second countdown is another waste of everyone's time, cut it back to 10 seconds.
Also, with Gb2, there should be some solution to the Flagship failure. 10 minutes waiting for a room that is over in less than 5 minutes the moment it begins. Half the room is punished for being "on the wrong side" after split. Maybe have Flagship auto reassign to another CV.
Or hosts that open rooms and never start them (make a sandwich, smoke a cigarette) should be punished by not being allowed to host rooms for 30 days.
