Drafting invite link

Our draft process should be improved to allow draftees an easy to use invite link to make it into a family. Flow would be:

  1. player clicks link
    • if logged out, ask player to log in
    • if new, create empire and auto-login after
  2. player chooses race
    • standard or custom (same as now)
    • pre-determined by drafter (so you can draft in specific roles)
  3. done!

The link would expire once used, and direct players who missed their chance to:

  1. join randomly in the same galaxy (if there is still space)
  2. join a different galaxy (if there are any running)
  3. a “Sorry, we’re all full!” landing/promo page up-selling custom games so they can create their own round if they are curious

Best part, the link would be shareable. So if you needed a player you could send the same link out to several different peeps to increase your chances of filling your team.

This would be a huge improvement! It would be great to also get the ability to track if the code you’ve sent to your friend had been used or not as well as having a way for a family to see the number of draft codes used / remaining / sent but still unused.
