Novice Lobby Presets

--- Quote from: Wundsalz on June 22, 2014, 01:33:01 am ---I think the sole (or at least by far most significant) motivation for introducing novice load outs was to protect new players from using builds that simply can not work. I do not believe new players need to be protected from more complicated guns like the hades. After all it's not like GoIO introduced ballistical weapons to video games and I do believe it'd be a good idea to let the novice load outs reflect the wide variety of the arsenal GoIO has got to offer.
Exeptions should probably be made for min launchers (as these can (un)intentionally be misused) and flamers (as massive fire spreads would likely overwhelm new players).
Regarding the Artmis trifecta: I personally doubt this would cause too much trouble in novice matches. To establish a lockdown three conditions must be met. 1.) the captain must maintain an arc for all three guns 2.) all other crew members must be on the artemises and 3.) they must aim for components. Frankly I don't believe all these conditions will be met too often in novice matches. And if a 4-pack crew manages to pull this off, they could probably steamroll their foes with any other build as well.
Another idea: short description texts for each load out, briefly elaborating how the ship works.

All of this exactly. Descriptions for the Novice Builds would be especially useful for helping new players. This kind of feature could perhaps be extended to a description box that can be filled in by the owner of the ship, and visible to his team and crew when they click it, with descriptions specific to the loadouts. Then they can share with their team notes on the ship, and preferred skill loadouts, and all the crew has to do is click on the ship. This could also be carried over to the Novice Loadouts with recommended tools (perhaps a few different ones so the players at least feel they have some options with the Novice Builds).

Also name each loadout and extend the loadout naming and description to crew loadouts ;)
