At least 50% of my MP time I played MultiStation, and I really like it. However there are some drawbacks to it. While I haven't noticed any Lag problems there are two real problems. First, if someone drops involuntarily out of whatever reason the station he played goes bye bye and unless he had it on AC its useless. You can live with that if it was something like sensors when you have Pilot/TACCO on the P-3 for example and at least another player on your side in the game who can help on the detection side. But it really sucks if the other player is in control, because that means for you that you can either sit and watch or leave yourself.
The second problem is when people start up a MP/MS game and say 30 or 45 in game find out that they have to leave, fortunatly I could convince those (when that occured) to leave their PCs running and turn on AC in their stations, that however is just a workaround. So I really would appreciate if stations could be reassigned on the fly.
