Give Gunner primary access to weapons + colors of texts in-game

(1/4) > >>

Lord Vid O' Gam:
I cannot tell you how many times I would be aboard a ship as Gunner with 2 Engies and at least one of them would be hogging a weapon while the hull is dying right behind him while the other Engie is still fixing on the other side of the ship. Wouldn't it be a good choice for Gunners being able to take over guns immediately as if a bot was manning the gun?

Sorry if this had been brought up before.




EDIT: I just now remembered the second point I wanted to bring up: it could be very handy if you could choose the color of in-game texts (name + indication of a spotted ship, names of crew members, icons of damaged ship parts...) to a more distinct color. Sometimes I have trouble seeing these in levels with lots of white smoke and grey air.

Garou:
Or at very least, give captains priority on guns so if they have a 'stubborn' engie, they can boot them off the gun themselves and then give the gunner an opportunity to grab it.

Zenark:
Kinda like how a Captain can eject anyone flying on the helm. Can't see how this would be a problem other than trolls trolling. I also however see no real need for it. If your crew has good communication, tell the engie that you're there now so he can go repair, if he doesnt respond and stays on the gun, then you have a problem player.

I feel that may be what he is referring to.

That's the problem that sparked the need for this: sometimes, you have people people that just don't know how to play the game/play their part and (and I quote) "just want to have fun". I'd rather have him loafing around completely instead of taking up a gun I could be shooting at the very moment with a better ammo than stock...
