MNC Priming

Can we lower the minimun player count so that games can start sooner? Getting 6 people to hold still seems to be an issue.

we had 2 tpgers and 2 pubs and they kept leaving would 4 be ok to start?

If its possible the game should run period on a 'priming' mode where no score is kept, no money and such is earned, and it'll restart and load a true game once 6 players have joined.

I don't think we even need to prime MNC. Yesterday, seconds after Bunni got the server running it was completely full.

Sadly, that doesn't exist, it would be nice though if it was like 2142 where you could still play before the required number of players joined, but without stats. But yea its kid of hard to get 6 people to join and stay when all you can do is look at a loading screen. I think a 2-4 player max to start would be fine.

Once it fills it stays filled, but getting it to that point can be troublesome.

All you really need is 5 or so TPGers all at once to kickstart it, then it should work out.

4 players to start should be adequate. It allows the 4 primers to start playing and generally the server will fill up pretty fast after that. Personally, I'd like to see server settings similar to this (notice the bold):

Current server settings:
Allow Juice Purchase= True
Allow Bot Purchase= True
Allow Hazards= True
Allow Mascot= True
Allow Custom Classes= True
Allow Change Classes= True
Force Random Class= False
Allow Team Selection= True
Allow Auto Balance= True
Match Duration= 20
Overtime Duration = 0
Gunner Class Limit= 6
Tank Class Limit= 6
Assault Class Limit= 6
Support Class Limit= 6
Assassin Class Limit= 6
Sniper Class Limit= 6
Minimum Number of Players to Start= 4
