Allow to see the deck of your squad members

When going in battle, it is important to choose complementary ships.

 

It would be great if you could see your teammates ships in the garage, and to have the ability to see their ship’s info, at least, and even better the complete fitting (more coding to do for that feature).

 

PROS :

  • check that your teammates took the correct tier ships

  • check the complemntarity of ships (engi/commmand/guard/etc.)

  • check the fitting of your teammates, and help them modify it

  • other…

 

 

CONS :

  • none…

I see a con : refuse a team mate that does not want to play the ship you want. So I would like it to be either limited to friend or with a possibility to refuse the inquisition.

and you should also be able to edit their fittings with their permission.

Uh, if you’re squadding with somebody, you’re probably going to want to do that anyways. Otherwise, it’s just one failed game and a boot. This just cuts the failed game.

I like to separate this, please tell me if you dont

 

  1. see the tier of you squad in queue for PvP so you are aligned

  2. the ship selection/fitting is a decision of each player, you can not decide for him but arrange your squad in advance

OK

  1. Effectively, I see the benefits of showing the tier of the ship. The game is very dependant on rank and tier.

 

  1. As Harlock leave showing the ship class, I understand that this information will be public soon so may be it is pointless to hide it. I just fill uneast about it because I hate class exclusion, it is generally pointless in all game I have done.

 

But those point raise a technical question : Do we show only the higher tier in slot or like the pre-battme windows all ships in slots? After all one could have 4 ships so even if the ships are shown the other cannot know which one he will take.

You seem to be confusing what a squad is and what a game is. A squad is where you invite people to try to do things.

 

If they’re people you already knew, then you’ll either communicate what strategy and what ships you will be taking, or you’ll assume that they’re smart and know your playstyle well enough to make a fit that suits the squad.

 

If they’re people you didn’t already know, then you’ll either communicate what strategy and what ships you ought to take, or you’ll assume that they’re smart and be horribly, horribly disappointed and try to get a game.

it is an interesting suggestion, and we had this idea. but because of our constant work on descreasing time of match making this display becomes invalid.

I really like this idea, it would be very very useful for a wing leader for dread attack / defense. I don’t really need to see mods fitted, but to be able to see what ships each wing member has in their lineup would be very useful.
