Instead of only being able to join or create a party only when your in the mission lobby or clockworks, or even a mission, Make it to where we can create groups and add people we want before the mission is started. This may sound pointless, but it is also an easy way of talking, instead of having /tell them stuff.
(Sorry if it may be necroposted, its just one of those ideas that pop up and are easy to forget)
I kinda thought that's what the lobby is for. That's why it's called a "lobby".
