As a logistics player, tapping the R2 button to quick select does nothing when you have your primary weapon equipped. I would like to be able to favorite a piece of equipment so that when I tap the R2 key, it quick selects the piece of equipment that I favorited. Pressing R2 when holding any piece of equipment would still switch to the primary, that would be left unchanged.
It isn't a massive change, but I certainly think this would be a great help to myself and many other logistics players. |

It will swap weapons in the Amarr Logi.
Only if it was something like "while holding R2, press L2". |

I'm all for a quick switch to your favorite weapon, but the glaring caveat of the amarr logi means it'd have to be a combination of buttons instead of just pressing r2.
I'd really love to just break out equipment instead of going into the menu on my assault suits too. I run my scanner about as much as I shoot my gun, so it'd be really handy get it out with pressing r2 and l2 at the same time instead of fighting the select wheel. |

The fighting with the wheel could end (or diminish at least) if it was ok for players not being able to select weapons though it (you would only be able to swap weapons with the R2 button). With the removal of the weapons from the wheel and since no suit has more than 4 equipment slots, the wheel would have the equipment slots in Up / Down / Left / Right positions, making it easier to access.
The problems related to selecting things on the wheel really puzzles me, it was so easy in Chromosome to pick equipment, what caused it to start working poorly?

If you don't choose a piece of equipment to favorite, it will still change to the sidearm. If you choose to favorite a piece of equipment, then it won't.
Simple as that. |

For "Duty Calls" L2 brings up the item wheel. I feel that you should be able to just tap L2 and automatically cycle through equipment since I doubt anyone uses it to actually switch to a different weapon. It would go clockwise so you could put the one you use the most to the far right. If you want to go to a specific item then hold L2 like you would do now. This would allow players with 1-2 equipment slots to whip out there gear extremely fast as it's not hard to tap a single button twice (just look at SCR users lol)
But that's how I feel anyway. +1 for the thread

The whole "press R2" thing will cause issues for us amarr logis (as mentioned several times above).
Button combos may have some viability.
IMO I'm fine with having to go through the weapon wheel as I have grown accustomed to it. |
