Firstly, well done FD it is fun! However...
(please do NOT add any arguments or pros here in this thread - thank you)
.
1. Getting 8 players to get a game started is almost impossible whilst players join and others leave yet the game can not even start.
2. This draws you away from Team Deathmatch & Capture the Flag and you may get into Deathmatch that you are in fact better quitting waiting as you can more easily be added to another game. Once in, you are locked in for definite for on going games which is not the case for the other modes.
3. The Ship Selection in both Lobby and Game are not directly linked to the Loadout. This makes it very clunky in/out that menu. Select that ship. In/out Loadout. It is not intelligently configured.
4. The in game setting up of your ship is ridiculous. 5secs to setup your Module Power Management and Weapon Groups. However, you do learn that using any of this is trivial...I suggest FD make it more important and setup in the Lobby.
5. Any efforts to use Power Balancing are hit on the head mostly as in Close Quarters Combat, sadly the game revolves about how many kills you make and no rewards for making your ship last by evasive tactics and Module Management. It fast becomes clear you should use your ship to ram often when in a lance.
6. The target selection is just silly and needn't be. There is no reason not to use the Select Next Target & Select Nearest Hostile. This part is very annoying and ruins my huge enjoyment!
7. Mics are not working in the other 2 modes mentioned prior. I understand why there's no mics in Deathmatch.
8. The Sidewinders speed is laughable! You exaggerated all the other ships and nurfed this. It's not worth flying imo.
9. Needs COOP game mode against AI and possibly remove 4v4 if players do not wait long enough for a game to get started.
10. How's about our Paint Jobs for example?
.
Go on and please only add feedback to help make it much better please...
(if you're against this thread then look at creating your own)
1. To be honest since CQC has gone live the fewest people I have had in the lobby is 6 and we always get full during the game. A couple of people may leave in the lobby, but it's normally full before the next game starts.
3. I have to disagree as I don't think it's a bad thing that you don't go directly into editing your ship (which is what I guess you mean), the fact that you have 3 loadouts for each ship means it's much better, quicker and easier to swap around depending on your opposition and situation.
4. I wouldn't say they were trivial (especially if you're using laser/cannon combo), but I do agree that it could do with being added to the loadout menu.
5. I think Power Balancing is very important in CQC and I am swapping around quite a lot, especially once you get the Plasma Cannons on the Condor. One thing that does definitely need to be done is that it should remember your previous settings after respawn.
6. There is a very big reason and they have stated from the start that it is to do with the Line Of Sight that's employed in CQC
8. The Sidewinder doesn't need to be quick
it has it's place, especially in CTF.
9. I don't think so, if you think it's hard enough for you to find a game as it is at the moment, then imagine how hard it would be if everybody was playing against AI.
10. Sure
