I think the changes for find match/cancel match/etc are reasonable
something else I think could help in the future:

A - include something like node beacon (https://beacon.peakd.com/) in-game
B - have RC visible somewhere in-game, better warnings, more info, etc.
C - have some way for non-hive-centric person to powerup in-game
(making all of this clean/intuitive could be a challenge)

I think a lot of the friction involved onboarding people relates to node/RC issues
