picking ship before match start

(1/3) > >>

BinaryDragon:
Last night I played a game. I picked ship pretty late, 10 seconds before the game started. When the game ended a moderator told me my behavior was "unsportsmanly". Since he/she is a moderator, I have to take him/her seriously. I tried to pm him/her to ask what would be an acceptable time frame to pick ship before matches. But the moderator had (to my surprise) blocked me  :o  And so my question stand unanswered.

When I think about this "issue" if you can call it that. All captains have the ability to pick their ship late.If everybody pick late and nobody knows what the other team is gonna fly, there is no problem.But after being corrected by the moderator I now understand I need to change my behavior. The problem I have is I don't understand how to fix it and play in a sportsmanly manner.

i view it like this : in the game (against the mod) I changed ship late, i could have added time and alerted my opponents to the ship change. Then they could counter picked the ship I had picked and win. How fun is that ? sure then I could find a nice pick to match their pick, and then they could find a nice counter to my new pick. And so it could go on until match start or both teams could pick ships ships shortly before the match starts.

Can someone explain to me how to play in a sportsmanly manner with regards to ship picking ? I would greatly appreciate it

I find it odd the moderator blocked you, definitely a blue named moderator?
Remember yellows are CAs...

My pov, late changes happen, sometimes life gets in the way and we change late because of life, sometimes people are readied up before a decision is made, there are people who do last second swaps to try and get an upper hand, its not very sportsman like and frowned upon in competitive tournaments (frowned upon but not always against the rules.) But in general pub matches, the only rules that apply are game play Mechanics...

Sure I bitch and moan to my crew about people who abuse last second swaps, but I don't approach the player themselves..
So in pub matches, if you don't mind people thinking you pull sleezy tricks to try and get a upper hand, go for it if you must, otherwise if its a genuine error, chances are if it were an actual moderator they will see the post and realise it was not intentional sleezy trick.

Switch at least 30 seconds before match start, and common courtesy is to not pick a hard counter ship. The mod probably blocked you from the impression that your clan is [TROL] and you swapped ship 10 seconds before match start

If you're out of time and realize you need to switch ship and don't have the option to add time, ask for someone to add time

ok so i can change 30 seconds before match start, would this ship change allow my opponents to change their ship ?

BlackenedPies:
30 seconds gives them time to look at your ship and add time (or ask to add time). It can take at least 30 seconds to decide which ship to bring, switch to it, and give loadouts to each crew member
