Reserved slot count, bot count

<div class="IPBDescription">Instead of just players/total</div>One of my peeves about the steam server menu for NS1 is that it only lists the number of players out of the total number.

This means that I have to look at each server's players to deduce whether it's a server full of 30 people, or just 30 bots sitting in the ready room.

It's also REALLY annoying to have to remember which servers have reserved slots. You can't use the "join game as soon as a spot becomes available" option because there are always open slots and you always get kicked.

Just a minor addition I would like to see, if you end up putting in bots and/or reserved slots. An auto join option would be nice too.

    No doubt it's on their list, but they've stated their top priority is performance, and then features. A refined server browser is a low priority bit of polish they're likely to tack on later in development.

    Mm.

    Jedi Academy is one of my favorite games. The server list claims it around 1200-1500 people are playing most of the time. However, if you start joining servers, it quickly becomes apparent that most of these servers are filled to the brim with bots...what's worse is that the bots have ping, so just looking at the server info usually isn't enough.
