    There's an interesting thread at the moment around the hot topic of leadership.

    https://forum.battlebay.net/threads/psa-your-teams-fixer-is-your-igl.16302/#post-98778

    I'd like to propose the concept of volunteering to be the leader for matches.

    Essentially, allow for a 5 second window in the pre-match screen where you can see your team setup to choose to 'lead' the team. If more than one person selects it, it will randomly choose between those players.

    The leader will be marked either by a Crown, Flag, a golden sheen to the ship or another form of indicator to highlight this. The idea would be for the team to stay with them to promote team-work opposed to a team splitting because of the lack of control / co-operation.

    If the leader died, you could enable them to still issue commands or in case they leave the match and perhaps more preferably have it defer to another player.

    I'm pretty much in favor of any idea which allows us to better sort out who our leader is. My sense is that maybe half the players wouldn't care but the other half would. I certainly do. <Follow XXX> is one of the few battle commands I actually listen to.
