HamsterIV:
I am a level 6 engineer because I refuse to ruin someone else's game in the quest for buffing achievements. I would like to see people's loadout, but I don't think a captain should be able to force it to their preferred specifications. Compared to pilot the engineer and gunner rolls have very little agency in this game. Reducing it even further would not make the situation better for most players. I would like to stick with the current system of captains cursing out the offending player mid game and blaming failure on them. How else will new players learn?

As in just about every game I play-xxx please bring mallet spanner chem spray. "ok" replies xxx
Two minutes into the game. Xxx please get on the gun, what are you doing by the engine? WHY DO YOU HAVE A BUFF HAMMER!!!!!!

This this so many times this >__< I had an eng earlier who had a buff hammer, spanner and fire extinguisher trying to main hull and who told me to "Stop crying" when I told him to at least bring a sodding pipe wrench...

I don't lose my patience often, but if you're going to be on my ship you're either going to A) know what you're doing or B) listen. Experiment on your own ship, I've got seven other people who want to win and I'm not about to deny them that just so you can farm an achievement. It's not even an issue of not letting them have a buff hammer, it's just wanting them to ask beforehand so you can set your ship up for it or put them as something other than main engineer.

Gungineer, buff all you like. Buff everything, he'll buff my steering wheel I don't care. I'll carry one to, there will be so much buffing going on my ship it'll need to be censored.

Actually, I dislike this concept.
It assumes the majority or the captain knows better than the individual player. For example I tend to use burst shot on the flak at times when my personal aiming skills are high for that extra shot, I don't want to be barked at for not taking heavy clip.
Why else would anyone need to see your loadout? I mean at times I haven't taken a fire extinguisher as an engineer, heresy I know.

That's more an issue with ammo choices almost being a no-brainer. If you're on a flak your choices are pretty narrow, there's not a whole bunch of room for personal preference. I usually let whoever go with heavy or burst on their own preference but I'll just say heavy to someone that needs a bit of direction.
I mean, I'd LIKE for there to be a lot more ammo choice for all weapons, with more ammos that reward higher-skilled gunners for every gun, but as it is right now that's hardly even an issue compared to the chore it is just trying to avoid your main gungineer from bringing lochnagar.
