option 1. I don't mind playing with low population, 1-2 others is fine with me. Its the 0 population making me go elsewhere. option 2. It's the team killing/clearing with engine fail INSIDE the bases that is lame. I don't understand why engine fail has to kill team mates in the first place, much less inside a base where they intentionally clear the whole team. Too easy for trolls to abuse this.
