Type of improvement: Ground control (vehicles, guns, girls etc) for any player joining the server while sitting in the waiting queue.
Explanation of proposals: For servers that have a waiting queue (for whatever reason, specific game started / no free for all etc), players can use ground vehicles while they wait.
A player can joins server while a current game is in progress (and cannot allow newly joined players) and has the option to participate in ground action. When his / her place in the queue finally allows entry as a pilot, they are given the option to join in the list of pilots.
Benefits: Immersion; gives players something to do while waiting in the queue. Also players wanting to join a specific / favorite server or wait on their favorite side can do so.
Cons: possible lag if tons of players are in the queue using ground equipment, players will be given less chance to be "forced" into playing a side they normally would not play, team balancing harder due to players not forced into a side.
