    I'm at around 1000 infamy, fixer/enforcer main, and I feel like all too often I am on a team with 4 shooters. I knowwww they are capable of playing something else, and I feel like if they had the choice they would switch to another ship at this point to help the good of the team.

    I'm thinking the devs should look into implementing a draft system, where the entire team of five has a minute or so to choose a ship and an arsenal of items, all viewable by the rest of the team.

    I understand that this shooter-ful phenomena disappears in upper level gameplay, but it would help you nightmare-league players too. Overall, the system would just allow more continuity in gameplay, and less frustration when your team comp randomly decides to be garbage.

    I've heard a lot of people murmuring about wanting bigger fleets, up to 5. I think that the draft system would address the issue of bad teams without increasing fleet size. You'd still be able to coordinate, without being overpowered. Imagine 5 randomized singles going up against the top 5 players in the world, all being able to coordinate. This idea is outlandish, but I do think the draft system is a healthy alternative.

    Hit me up with all your ideas, comments, and feedback!

    doesn't seem possible. unless all crew abilities changes instantly to go with each ship, no one gonna go in battle with an inferior model and untrained captains.

    That, and the problem could be solved by smarter match making. If one team has a fixer, so should the other. Try to keep a balance between yellow, green, and red ships.

    Ya, I like that. The draft would be very hard to realistically work out so thats a good alternative

    I guess, I figured most people had at least two different ships that they could run without hurting for crew too badly. This change would just give more options to those who enjoy variability, and those who main one ship would still be able to choose their ship, the rest of the team would be able to pick around them.
