    There are several valid issues here, but I would like to point out that blocking users works with the Uber Id, not the display name. If you block a user, they will stay blocked, even if the user changes their name. Also, if you block a user they can no longer join games you host. You can block trolls by using your recent players list.

    I personally recommend sticking to alliances unless you trust all the players on your team.

    I think the main issue with alliance play is it lacks certain things it really needs. The big one in my mind is gates... If you could link gates with an ally you can actually coordinate a bit more, support each other and so on. I guess that may not be that easy?

    Linking gates with allies might be possible. I'll ask design.

    I can see many ways this can be abuse. Lets say that if a team majority vote was required to kick people 2 guys can just vote kick the 1 poor guy just for laughs. Like everyone said, only play shared with trusted people.

    No the issue is with the load icon, since you can't actually pick up friendly units the astreus/pelican shouldn't show the load icon on your cursor when you hover it over a friendly unit.

    I played 1 shared team game in early beta I believe... I ended up basically having the other guy keep undoing what I was doing for the entire battle until he eventually decided to just leave, so I sat there in a pond with antinukes and navy for a half hour until they killed me.
