I keep on encountering these type of people, the ones that not only suggest, but demand your change your loadout

-2 gunners not allowed, must be 2 engy 1 gunner, 3 engy even better!
-No weapons allowed other than flak/gunner, must switch weapon if these arent on your ship
-No goldfish or squid allowed, ships recommended to change to are: Pyra or Galleon
-No chemical spray allowed, pls switch your loadout to: Wrench, Spanner/Buffer, Extinguisher

And the funny part is, theyre not even on your team! Often times theyre on the other team or even enemy team telling you how to run your ship or how to play the game how they want you to play it.  Please, don't try to play the game for others or if you're a captain, run your own ship and not others.  The worst part is I have a sneaking suspicion that these people make up the majority of the game population ,at least all of the higher levels I've encountered are like this

roder:
This has been a public service announcement.

If you'd like to argue why people should be listening to you instead of playing their own loadouts or own ship, go ahead. But you're better of playing with your own team and own pre-made partnered team, because there are actually people in this game that want to have fun and play the game how they want to.

RearAdmiralZill:
I want to say I remember you from last night, but I'm terribad with names. There is a point where a captain knows what he wants his ship to do, and asks people to kit accordingly. Of course, you saying "I want this please" will get a better response over "Well I'm taking this instead cause you're stupid."

As a captain by trade, I expect orders followed, but not because I hate you.

Now offering suggestions to other boats in a lobby is one thing. Ordering them around is silly... To address your concerns:

-2 gunners is widely accepted as a bad way to go, just because one engineer can't keep an entire boat up effectively. 3 engies, to me, is overkill. That's highly debatable to many people though.
-Suggesting guns is fine. Demanding is...curious and won't get any response from me besides leaving that lobby or telling them to find a new boat.
-All boats are useful, and anyone telling you differently is just wrong.
-Chem and extinguish have their place, and really is up to the engineer as to what they want to use. One of each is very useful when running 2 engies.

You aren't encountering the majority of the community, at least from my long experience here.

Jiggle Billy:
This might not be considered gentlemanly, but I promptly tell those folks to bugger off unless I feel like playing ramming pyramidion.

Play how you like. Screw the randos on the Internet.

Kestril:
I find that once I get a crew that stays with me, they are more open to trying out whatever. Before you set up the squid with the moonshine and bumpers, win a match with your crew first, then they'll be more receptive to trying something crazy, I find.
