I usually just ask in the Multiplayer lobby if anyone wants a game.
Unfortunatly, Once when I did that it started a short debate, with one person defending Fleet Ops and a bunch of people insulting it, including calling it a crap, noobed-up A1.
i have seen fo being played in the lobby as well, normaly when people join the game i tell them about it, fleetops in the a2 community is like marmite you either love it or hate it, i know i have a big reputation in the A2 community (apparently) of a jumped up arrogant facisit dictating arsehole but i know its not true and i just ignor them most of them are like 12 so fuck em
