Lone Wolf Format
I don't see a ticket for Ace Rimmer's suggestion, so here's me adding one:
Lone Wolf format: adding this type of game into to the regular game system and game hosting by allowing the "Lone Wolf" type of game to outlaw Diplomacy, "gsx" friendly codes and maybe even the force surrender starbase mission making it impossible for races to work together. Only posting on the public game feed would be allowed.

This has been partially addressed by the changes to the Diplomacy settings.

@Wohut: That would give an incredible big advantage to cheaters with pre-game alliances. No one will be able to get a hint, for example by "Intelligence Center" or so.
Players of Lone Wolf should be fair and shouldn't do this, but you can't force it this way. So you mustn't make the really fair players blind.

You should also hide who is in the game during the game so people don't communicate outside of that.
