Spare weapon : change during fights

When the battle is started, you setup is firmed.
However, you probaly want to change to use other weapon since every fights are different and you cannot predict it.

For example:
When both teams have two fixers, you probaly want some range-damaging weapons like torp and mortar.
When you are facing speeder but you do not have a sniper or blast cannon and you are carrying torp and grenade.
When you are a fixer and you are the last standing one of your team, you may need a duct tape but not a repair box or bolt.

Sometime we feel helpless because our setup is fixed but in some battles you setup is a little bit useless.
My idea is let us to eqip one or two spare weapons which can be exchanged with the selected weapons during fights. The exchange may probaly have 2mins cool down.
Also, this can encourage us to collect and use more different items.

How do you think about this?

 

no , no ,and no

every matchmaking are random , all you can do is , make a best use of your own setup with different friend boat and different enemy boat .

 

But this is also why now people are using just some type of powerful item like sniper, blast, firebomb. These weapons are useful in almost all of cases.
Mortar is useless in solo, making people do not want to use it, you will not want to carry a mortar in speeder,enforce and defender. However, in some fight you may want it.

 

There is no best setup, probaly some items are popular because they are easy to use and powerful. The best setup is depend on case.
Don’t you feel bored when repeat using the same item and setup?

 

my point are , it's not as simple as you think , it's really hard to makes your idea true . and i think it's just too much ,

 

lol , i could just change my setup before tap battle button of course i feel bored if use the same setup forever

 

Yes, but i think devs can make it.
We are doing the same thing in a very long period. We need some new setting or new ships.
All most all players are just focus on and using a few type of weapons. For the other weapons which is “weaker”, most of people have not upgrade them.

 

I actually like the ship building part. I build my ships to be reasonably competent in most situations. If other people choose to build specialist ships that suck in a wide variety of situations then that's their choice but I don't want to give them an easy out. If you're facing a speeder and you didn't equip any serious point damage then you're dead... as you should be. Next time bring real guns.

 

i knew dev can make it happen , but just as i said before , it's too much , no need to become true .

and this is another reason :

for new ship , just wait , dev for sure gonna release it ( not bitter , haha ) .

yeah , it's a up to you , too choose , whether build specialist ship or build every ship ( item color )

 

Maybe there could be a 10 second period before each game where you could switch ONE weapon (no switches after match starts, or it would be unfair to those with more weapons, aka money spenders).

 

best way to do this is during the pre-match load screen (where you can see who your teammates and enemies are)... put 5 second delay... allow players to have 2-3 weapon loadout presets that they can quickly switch too within those 5 seconds... i don't agree with allowing weapon switching during battles.

 

Im not sure if this would work, assuming player can switch their load during those 5/10 second, everyone would do the same, by the time you change ur loadout, other player will too so u r back to square one.

 

This doesn't seem like a very good idea. Any weapon setup is good in any situation ( with a few exceptions, e.g mortars/torpedoes at close range). You just need the skill to make any setup useful anytime.

 

the point here is you have specific loadouts for depending on what boats you will be playing with ad against then it can be a big factor in winning the battle (what i suggested is gear loadouts, boat type cannot be changed). if this is allowed, then you can prepare 2-3 separate loadouts that can address certain scenarios. like if you see 5 yellow boats on unfriends then you can switch to anti-speeder/anti-enforcer load out. if you see multiple defenders then you switch to a long range loadout. yes, the other players will probably do the same and will most likely result in a more competitive battle where skill and teamwork become even more important since loadouts are optimize per player (theoretically speaking).
