Lobby choices and information

It would be useful if one could see the difficulty configuration and other information before committing to a choice of lobby, so that clicking on a lobby told you the difficulty setting, weather, sea, number of free boats and number of players. Also useful would be some indication of the predominant language spoken, and whether bots are in use.

The players name is sometimes hard to determine via discord, so giving each lobby the name of a convoy, plus the hosting players name would be useful, ie instead of "++Bloggz++" it became "PQ17 - ++Bloggz", so that the name of the lobby (server) could be identified either by recognition of the name, or by the convoy number.

All too often I select a lobby, and discover it's a tutorial mission or dense-fog, and in order to find a better one have to quit and re-start the game working through the lobbies or start a new one. (given the bug that requires a restart to be able to make a lobby after exiting one in the same play session.)
