Hello Eve-Forum,

what do you thing about the idea to specify the type of ammo you want to load next into your gun, before it runs out of it? I think this idea could maybe make PVP a little bit less intense for experienced PVP Players but maybe a bit easier to controle for hectic PVP beginners. This will also help you to minimize the time a module is not activ in a fight because you turned it off a few seconds before and havent been able to load the gun quick enough. In an hectic fight these few seconds spared could determine of win or loss of the game.

I hope you like this idea and leave a bit of feedback.

Regards

so, if i understand you, you're asking for a feature to allow you to right click on a gun, after its shot and is on its down time inbetween shots, and click to change to a different type of ammo so that when the last shot occurs, itll load a different ammo?

that might take a while, in the mean time, switch to amarr lasers. crystals take 1/2 a second to change..=)

It'd work if all it did was to queue the ammo change, so that when the turret cools down you get the ammo change timer.

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

it would save you 10 seconds and during pvp, thats a long time without dishing out the pain.

or u could switch to amarr, we dont run out of bullets.. =)

I hope the reason why i get such less feedback is not because its so terrible or useless.

I'd like to see this. It's really annoying when you fire the last shot and want to change ammo but you've not stopped it in time and it reloads the same ammo, before you can change... It can be worked around quite easily as it is but it would be nice to see implemented.
