Just been running a hard bug mission mostly to get the daily done any samples are a welcome plus.

All 4 slots full and we were pretty spread out across the map, we complete the mission and a few of us were just finishing up the radar tower and a bug nest.

Then player 4 bee lined to the extraction called it in and jumped on the pelican despite me asking him not to on comms.

There were 3 players spread across the map with no chance of getting back so I kicked the guy.

Was I in the right for this? Do you think he learned his lesson?

I really wish there was a way to “vote for extraction” or as the host given option to toggle that on or off…

Because rogue calling in extraction early is one of the worst things about playing with randos.

Imagine someone goes up and hits the code to call an extraction and then (presuming all voting team members are alive and there are reserves remaining for re-enforcements - ie if no one is left alive and you have no reserves, calling in extraction no longer needs a vote since only one player remains) sees a quick pop up on their screen to allow them to vote yes or no or ignore… and you have to have a majority vote yes for it to call down.

Feel like this would be a resolve the problem - which otherwise is solved by people unloading grenades into the pelican when someone screws up and gets in.

If it was a vote you would get trolls who wouldn't vote it down

Then they get kicked. Much easier to do that as host and less damaging and irreversible to the current run when you’re playing than them unexpectedly calling in extraction and then hopping in the pelican while everyone else is on the other side of map.
