Do you get kicked for being idle?
I've seen a bunch of players simply standing at spawn throughout the match. Then I've noticed the players in my squad won't even spawn throughout the match. Leaves me in a kinda ghost squad where I'm...

@HJ_Spacewar There might be an issue with the idle kick. I friend reported, that he was frequently kicked out of matches while the squad leader was AFK, and then joined a new match.
So I think there is an idle kick, but that doesn't stop the "search for match" cycle. So that way you have idle players join new matches, until they are kicked.

- @kregora Thanks. I went ahead and just tested the whole process.
First match I joined was in progress and I was kicked after about 3 or 4 minutes. Went back to home screen with auto join starting. Joined new match. This time it was the beginning match with intro. Got killed by a pilot at spawn. Sat idle for the rest of the match and didn't get kicked. I was also the squad leader this time (if that makes a diff).
So I'm not sure the parameters of the kick but it doesn't seem to be idle 3 minutes equals kick.- @HJ_Spacewar Maybe there is a difference if AI is present in the match?
Maybe idle players only get kicked, when the match is fullwith human players, and the spot is needed to match waiting players into a match?- @kregora well either way I'm seeing a lot of recently. Last couple days I've had entire squads that aren't spawning. Maybe only happens once and a while but it's annoying.
- @HJ_Spacewar I had the same experience as @kregora described the other day when my party leader was AFK. I was changing server a few time some minutes in each game till I realize the cause.
