    When a battle starts, the pre-battle information just shows the player names and ship MK. All I can benefit from this is who has what MK level ship, and we all know that this means very little (except sometimes I see a MK1 or MK2 ship fleeted with MK4s and I slap my head). I think it would be extremely valuable if it showed the weapon layout of each player like it does in the post-battle wrap up.

    Cases where this is super useful -
    • I play Enforcer and if I knew my team's weapons in advance, I could pair up with someone with flare gun or fire bomb to maximize combo damage.
    • The team should know if our fixer has a repair bolt and I can spread out, or are they using repair box launcher and I need to stay close?
    • Is the other team loaded with torpedoes or only mortars? Might help to develop more of a strategy.
    • Who on the other team has high level weapons? Might want to avoid them or take them out immediately.

    On the downside, I think a lot of people will complain about revealing too much information before the match begins. But to be honest, the match was already made so its too late. Also they will see your layout so it is fair that way.

    I think it would add a greater strategy element into the game, even though the pre-battle screen is only up for 3 or 4 seconds. After all, I just got thrown together with 9 random people... I could at least get a few seconds to get antiquated with them. It would be simple to implement since it is just using a modified version of the post-battle screen.

    Any thoughts?

    Yup, I agree. Then you'll also know when you're hopeless in certain maps lol

    Might be a bit too much as people will know to focus on one guy or to rush another guy. Would make game a bit unbalanced. Maybe only be able to see your team mates load outs?

    I was about to say same thing. Yes seeing own team's gears won't hurt and it would help deciding who to follow but seeing enemy layouts would hurt the surprise you're about to get from torp etc and I think it might ruin the fun from game that way.
