Reduce default marine reservation time? (asw_reserve_marine_time)

[WhenTanksFly]

I'm under impression that the vast majority of players either load in during first 10s, rendering the remaining part of reservation excessive and sigh-inducing when you want to take a marine previously occupied by someone who left midgame, or play on potato machines and take over 30s and thus don't benefit from reservation anyway. I feel like the current buffer could be reduced to 15-20s to lessen annoyance, and nobody would complain. Problem is this is just personal observation, need more opinions. Just in case, do dedicated servers collect statistics of loading times?

I agree, maybe even 10 seconds

How about canceling the reservation if player disconnected or timed out?

Lowering the reservation time will encourage marine stealing, trolling and toxic behavior.

Some clients on lower end pc's / networks take 15-20 seconds to load and connect, especially on countries where they have lesser hardware/network. Seeing higher only occasionally.

The reservation is mostly annoying, when a client decides to rage quit with alt+f4.

Maybe server can auto-deselect when client is not responding after he has fully joined.

At least it could be reduced after instant restart, as in that case there's surely nothing to take 30s to load.
