as my title says ...WHY cant i host a ship? i have my twitch linked and everything?

is it possible to play a limited version with out twitch account?

Since I'm a bit of a smaller streamer I was wondering if fewer audience members willing to play along would impact the enjoyment of this game. Is there a minimum viable number of players for this to be balanced and/or playable?

Launch day is finally upon us! We'll go live February 12th at around 2pm PST. The app should be available on Steam then, for both Windows and Mac players. See you all aboard!

First off, I can understand why you would kick in some cases. But the kicking has begun to be way too strict. I got kicked when I was getting a coffee. I join back, no fights are happening so I alt-tab for a minute > kicked due to inactivity. Got kicked due to inactivity 5 times in 15 minutes. I was a turtle on a shield station! This is supposed to be a chill game to play with streamers no? Streamers often take (long) breaks for whatever reason. Many streamers that play this also play other stream games...
