The history of open-source Allegiance is paved with the bodies of dead code branches, forum flame wars, and personal vendettas. But a community remains because people still love the game.

YEBU game was fun, quite balanced.
On the minus side, a lot of time was wasted with a full redraft. I admit it was necessary, as teams had become unbalanced, and had different number of players. But this will be a problem that will repeat itself, due to the variable attendance of players. So a more permanent solution should be found.
I would suggest the following method to address that problem, but maybe someone can come up with something better:
-Before starting a new game, each team will choose 3 pilots from the other team and will be exchanged.
-In case one team has fewer pilots, pilots will be exchanged in a 2 for 1 relationship until number of pilots is same on both teams.
-Once pilots have been exchanged, untagged pilots will be drafted from lobby as usual.
