Config option: default squad

[infogulch]

Should add a config option to automatically join a specific squad every time you join a server.

This would allow clans and other groups to automatically join a predefined squad without having to constantly think about it.

Of course it could be changed after you join.

You could use autohotkey, or simply write /squad blabla.

As if it would take 30 minutes to write /squad name.

Some servers use default squad... and it's a pain most of time

Why ? Because in normal servers where you are in no squad when starting, players in your squad enter your squad for teamplay. If everyone starts in a squad, so do Deuces. And I don't want to have to dig 50 blocks up just because my squadmate is digging a tunnel under enemy base.

I"m not saying it takes a long time. The point is, you forget, or people misspell, or there's too much activity in the chat and your intended squadmates miss your message.

I'm not unfamiliar with autohotkey, but I think it's too much to expect people to install AutoHotkey just for this OR to trust me to provide a safe compiled script.

@scarfacemperor: exactly, and I'm talking about a configuration option in the AoS client, NOT some mandatory thing you're forced into. If you don't want it, make it 'none' and it won't automatically join a squad for you. If you were in an active clan with players that you trust you'd set your automatic squad to your clan name just like everyone else in your clan and it would be very helpful.
