For 1.03 - join game in progress

from Sins Forums
Considering the time investment required to play a full game of Sins, I think it would be a great feature to be able to join a game in progress. Save games are great and they help, but if you are in a massive FFA or team game online with people you don't know, they aren't going to stop and reload a save just for you if you drop out due to a crash or internet issue.

Eventual patch(es) should allow more flexibility :

1. If an on-going game contains an A.I. player, but only if the host has allowed it (as a game setup option), a human player should be able to take the A.I.'s place ;

2. If a human player voluntarily or involuntarily leaves a game, but only if the host has allowed it (as a game setup option), an A.I. player should take his place.

If you combine 2 + 1, what you have suggested could also be possible. I am very much in favour of implementing that.
