Improve Matchmaking/finding A Squad.

I spent a good 10 minutes jumping from mission to mission looking for a squad, then when I finally get in a game it's extermination with 5 targets left.  One member was way ahead and got the 5 kills before I could even get oriented, so my experience was nothing more than running through a barren level.  "Oh well" I told myself, "at least I've found a squad, the next mission will be fun."  Then I get "you have been disconnected from the session."  Fantastic, the host left, maybe the other party members are trying to join another mission in this system, maybe we can link up again.  Nope, every mission is an empty lobby.  

 

Am I really the only player in my region trying to find a squad in the level 20+ planets?  How can I find other players waiting in the pre-game lobby (as opposed to games that are halfway over).  Why does the session end when the host leaves? What's the best way to go about finding a group, without playing Xini 50 times in a row?

The networking and the UI are the most problematic aspects of the game, they'll both inevitably be improved.

As for finding groups... Best bet is to find people on the forums, join a clan or... Dare I say it, use the recruiting channel.

I made a LFG post here the other day and it went unanswered until it finally got one reply yesterday (which I just noticed, having checked after making this thread).  Same thing in recruiting chat, if you're not offering void runs you get ignored.  I'm not really into clans, I suppose if there's a casual clan that doesn't require teamspeak and such I'd give it a shot, but they'd have to have a player base in my region (eastern US), maybe I'll make a post in the clan section tomorrow.
