Description: Give us the hability to see the ship tree while we are waiting for a match. The tree should be locked and not allow changes.
Reason: Quality of life change. Sometimes queues are too long, and it would be nice to be able to use that time comparing ships and planning progression.
Not a bad idea. It would be nice. It would be really nice to be able to make changes to all except for the 3 or 4 ships currently in que. Have them locked.
Been suggested over the time since months ago. Maybe even 1 year +…
Agreed.
Smart suggestion.
Yeye… Thumbs up!
Yeah, I like how the ships your using can’t be changed/tweaked, but at least let us view the rest of our fleet! Also, devs, can you please allow “Equipment” to be SHOWN, but locked? I always like to see what I’m using the moments before going into battle. It’s not like it changes much, but sometimes it’s nice to know if I have a ship without a modules or something and somehow missed it. If I’m in queue, it’s impossible to check without leaving. If I’m in a squad, that’s a large issue.
+1
nice idea, would give us something to do whilst in the queue
Great Idea
+1 +2 +3 oh heck outstanding idea !
I was planning to write a thread myself the last months. If this one does not trigger any change, I might do it in another couple months.
This is definitely the weakest link in the game. It is usual, that teams start to talk about the game while waiting. While watching a timer is psychologically really horrible, subjectively many players feel as if you have to wait longer for the games to begin, because there is just nothing to do. Not that it isnt nice, that you actually see how much time you had to wait; but in combination with the restrictions around the UI makes it almost torture.
Since the talks in teams occur usually at the waiting timer, not being able to reinspect your ships and modules, not being able to talk about other ships, etc. is usually the choking point where one player says “enough i am bored”, and starts a cascade effect of players leaving and searching for another game to play.
The current implementation does not just inhibit these actions, it actually works against the players’ morale. I bet this UI decision about showing only a timer and some useless and even wrong information (maximum wait…?) is worse than all the other bugs combined in terms of scaring people offline.
