Since we are all playing with decks of 1-4 ships per battle, it has occured to me, that changing these decks each time you change your game goal is a bit tedious.
So, what about making the possibility of having decks you can swap between, and equip them individually. Before the battle of course.
Of course, you can have the same ship in multiple decks, but the equipment of the ship does not have to be individualized. It is basicly enough, if such a deck is just a macro for swapping out ships in the slots. So nothing actually changes below that level.
You could simply use colors or numbers, but also icons, and it could be a tab below the current ship-hotbar, and for puritans, you could also offer a setting to turn it off.
Since its a convenience feature, such decks could of course be worth gold coins, and you could maybe have up to 4 or 5 max. It would be nice tho, if players can buy one (to have two, e.g. for “PvP” and “PvE”) for credits or even more, that is up to the management.
