(People may load in later than each other.)

It is unfair for a pilot to move before another ship.

It is unfair for one buff engi to begin buffing before another.

I would like to see a sort of count down timer once everyone has loaded in. In which movement is suspended.

I realise people may feel 10 seconds or so would be minimal and this is waste of muse's time. But i think it would if anything make competitve play a bit fairer for both teams.

10 seconds?

try 30. but i hear competition matches will now start on pause until the roll call is complete confirming everyone has loaded in.

Its an actual thing m8. I have to warn my crew to either take helm in my stead when I'm piloting or survive long enough with only 1 active engie while I load in. that or the ppl I tend to play with just know to do it because, its like some character trait of mine or summat.

Or in terms of pubs. Realise some scrub just stole my helm for our ship to go into a suicide run, faaaaaar too late for even my skillful piloting to get out of.

I just took a wild stab at 10 seconds :) i think 20 or 30 would be ideal.

Hoja Lateralus:
How about Dota-like window saying "PLAYERS READY x/16" and just game begins when everyone is ready (meaning game is loaded). If someone is failing to get ready the game would just start after 20-30 seconds.

Arturo Sanchez:
I can just imagine the noobs now when you apply such a thing.
They have to demand for people to ready up twice.

disaster can you be more detailed on how that would apply in guns?

This is after the countdown, in lobby and after the countdown in loading screen

From what I can understand... its like the start screen of a call of duty start screen where the game is loaded with all assets ready but the game is in a pause state and you are asked if you are ready.

You confirm, and wait for everyone else to confirm.


I can see alot of people seeing it as a rather redundant step. Us vets understand the necessity for it in competition and fair play. But the scrubs (which make up the large majority) will not be amused, by so many measures of making sure everyone is ready.


I'm not saying I don;t want it. I'm just saying if you think this is actually gonna be a thing. Its not. Its gonna be highly unlikely to be applied. As per the nature of PC gaming, get a better PC, or get a better internet connection. Makes me sad being as poor as I am but thats just how things are.

Hoja Lateralus:
It would be part of or replace the loading screen (after lobby readies) and it would automatically count you as ready when all your stuff is loaded and connected.
