Alternate Hotkeys. i.e. I could have Raise (as a Pilot) be bound to both R and Numpad 1.
Forum link in-game much like you have kickstarter linked.
Both good ideas.
Lobby text chat.
I believe that's coming.
There seems to be an issue with voice chat. Some people seem to be able to hear me while others cannot. I play with a few friends from time to time, and one friend for example would be able to hear other people in the lobby chat, but be completely unable to ever hear anything I say. Other people in the lobby can hear me, and my friend can hear them, but not me. This happens in all sorts of different configurations, so I haven't been able to narrow down a cause just yet.
You should e-mail Muse with your client log.
Have in-game sounds mute when you Alt Tab. Love the music, but when i'm just browsing reddit/watching youtube vids in a lobby it gets obnoxious.
Would be useful, but you might miss some chat from your captain or crew, which would be a problem.
Implement an audible countdown tick when the match countdown begins. Too many times i've been caught completely off-guard by a match start while chatting with people or making changes to my loadout.
Agreed. Especially when everybody readies up suddenly, I can miss the chance to change my loadout.
Ingame Loadout changes. Currently this can be done by abandoning the match, changing the loadout, then rejoining. However, that seems a bit roundabout and unnecessary.
Definitely not. We'd have main engis using a buff hammer all match, and then switching to the extinguisher every time a fire is lit. It'd be way too exploitable.
An option to allow me to always see ship equipment health, regardless of if it is fully repaired. (WoW Raid Leader, more information at all times is always better!)
Why would you want to see it if it isn't damaged? It would just add clutter, and wouldn't really tell you anything.
An option to vote-kick people from the lobby. Had an incident last night where someone was purposefully being toxic and spewing all sorts of random insults for no reason. We all just ended up leaving the lobby.
This is a really controversial topic. Muse haven't implemented such a system because it'd be really easy to abuse. You'd get people kicking crewmates off for not being experienced enough.
Some indication of exactly how much damage a bullet of a certain weapon damages components of an enemy ship numerically.
I wouldn't want it myself (more clutter), but I see how it'd be useful.
Some indication of enemy health (Either just hull, or of everything). Keeping track of all the info feed at the top left can feel a bit overwhelming at times.
Once again, that would definitely be helpful for a lot of people (though I wouldn't use it).
There are 2 in-game voice chat options currently. Team chat, which speaks to the entire blue or red team, or Captain chat where you speak to the other captains as a captain. Could we possibly have a specific Ship chat so I can bark out orders and have responses specific to my ship without hassling my entire team?
The "team chat" you're referring to is actually crew chat. You're only speaking to the people on your ship.
Room wide Ready checks would be nice, instead of just Captain ready's. I've gotten into plenty of games where I'd have AFK crew members for a long period of time, where they'd have apparently run off to the bathroom or to get food etc. A bit hindering.
I think it would cause more problems than it'd solve. The captains should be making sure all their crew members are ready, and it would be a real pain to wait for the majority of all the players to ready up, especially with some of the less aware people out there being oblivious to the existence of the ready button on occasion.
That's all I can come up with for the time being. Loving the game. Will respond to this thread if anyone has comments on these, and will post more as I think any up while continuing my play through.
Great to know you're enjoying the game so far! This is some great feedback here, it's always great to see stuff like that coming from new players.
