    It would be nice if one person could occupy multiple "team" slots, which in effect would give one person the two teams, just like normal you have two commanders spawn and you control both of them. In teams the economy is currently shared anyway, so it wouldn't be that complicated to do anyway.

    This "gives" two gifts to players.

    One is adding a feature that is useful later, as some people will want to play teams against their really good friend online with only three people, and that good person can just have 2 team slots and play solo against the other 2 who each have 1 and play as allies. I seen a lot of TA and SC games recorded that are set up like this.

    The other is an early sandbox mode that everyone would be grateful for. Set two team slots, occupy two team slots, start game. It shouldn't be too hard to implement either, at army select make it so you have to click a slot to join and reclick the slot to empty it. At landing, make you able to choose your landing points in order of slots taken, such as select start then start annihilation and again select start and start annihilation. During game, just combine economies. Later on, you could even make it so if you are playing two non-allied armies to have the ui show multiple economies, that would take some work but later on.
