I think multistation mode is great. But it seems to be a bandwidth hog, which is strange!

I think the reason people use it less, is because it seems to get flakier with more people online.

You'd think that having 2 boats with 4 people apiece would be less bandwidth than 4 boats, but it isn't true.

That has been my frustration. Multiplayer stability seems to suffer with more people in multistation. Other than that, I love it. One great option would be the ability for the "Captain" or "highest ranking" guy connected to be able to reassign stations on the fly, so when someone gets dropped, it can all be reassigned.

Of course, being able to reconnect would be great too. A "TIME-OUT!" option.
