The ability to change where weapons are located
« on: August 12, 2013, 07:24:09 am »
At the moment, when setting up your ship's layout, you can only change which guns are placed in the designated gun locations, but you can't move them around at all. This means some ships have little or no protection at their rear or direct front - I know this may just be part of the whole ship balancing system, but on a lot of these ships you can see areas at the front or back where a light gun could easily fit. It would add a bit more freedom and individuality for your ship. Thankyou for reading my suggestion.

It's part of the balancing.

But it would be fun to have handed versions of those classes with asymmetric layouts.  So a left- and right-handed version of the Pyra, Squid and Galleon.

Is a Junker left handed or right handed?

It's ambidextrous!

Perhaps not the most important thing, but it would be quite nice, yes.

Now this is something I could really get behind. Kinda like the different layouts on the same ships in FTL. Would bring new playestyles without the need of making completely new ships.
