Following up an idea expressed in the below thread:

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showp...1&postcount=27

What do you all think of giving captains the option of disbanding the team or even of allowing individual team members the option of becoming free agents or solo players like the merc? I could add a free agent column to the team roster setup to make tracking this a bit easier.

Of course the focus of the game is on team identity, cohesion, and working together through thick and thin (thus the themes), but it would give more freedom to individual players and/or more power to captains though they'd have a harder time of it vs teams that stay together. I could institute an alternative VP condition for the newly solo'ed player or could leave the VP requirements as they are to discourage the would-be solo player from going it alone. The actual need to do this with the captain already having the ability to drop players is questionable but having either option might be nice.
