Changing loadout during game

Nobody should be taking advantage of it anyway. Okay, so the occasional mistake is made. There is a cheeky workaround for that simply because mistakes happen. However, abusing that ability to change one's load-out or class in the middle of the match is simply cheating. You can't just go materialising tools out of the air.
Besides, if people started abusing this ability in competitive matches, there would be uproar and teams would get disqualified. Eventually Muse would remove that workaround. It isn't their intention to let you class switch.

I don't agree. As I explained above, attempting to use it to your advantage is ridiculously inefficient and comes with high risk. Any competitive team trying to make use of such a tactic would be putting themselves at a disadvantage.

Probably no longer a problem with the coming matchmaking ...

I think we're on the same page and coming at it from different angles :P. I agree with you that it is inefficient and isn't particularly of much use in the heat of battle - but the system isn't designed for that, and it certainly shouldn't be abused to apply start-of-game buffs as was mentioned above. I call that cheating :D.
BlackenedPies:
If using switching as an advantage is risky and inefficient then why block class switching? I just hate having extra gunners or pilots and the majority of the time I start without a full crew. Less experienced players join in as a wrong class all the time and I just want it to be easy for them to switch. Start of game buffs are still possible and I don't see why we can't have class switching.
