I often have different loadouts on my squad mates, (A neptune set for focus fire and one set for suppression, for example...) and it would be amazing to be able to check their gear/talents/etc before you deploy them the battlefield. I know you can check it once they drop, but saving clicks is always nice, no?
Thanks as always for your consideration!

Might just be too much UI here, but we will, as always, keep trying to improve.

Personally, I don't think this is necessary; I can check loadouts on the squad screen in HQ already; I'd rather not have another loading screen.
What might be interesting is if the Templars' loadout pages could have different settings; e.g. Loadout A, Loadout B. if someone wants to switch between styles. Not something I would use, but maybe others would find it valuable?

I'd agree, the in-depth check needs to happen on the HQ screens in advance of a level. The swap screen gives pretty good summary. Maybe we can add a little more data there, but the overhead of adding the extra UI elements is huge.

I just see a simple button under the Templar that brings up the load out screen that clicking on the Templar's face does on the battle screen. Nothing intrusive, nobody needs to use it if they don't want, but useful for players like me who have trouble keeping the specs of an entire Battleforce in the memory banks. Consider it wished-- I trust your judgement  |

En1gma - thanks, I've taken some notes on it for our roadmap.

Misunderstood what you meant. Glad that The Trese Brothers (tm) got your gist. Apologies! |

En1gma I don't know if this would help, but on my larger, more specialized squads I sometimes add abbreviations at the end of names to help keep load out/ swap straight. Ex: Dalan Ortho-Mk8,WP,BF Mk8 - gun WP - Warpath Leviathan Armor BF - set up with burst fire primary attack May Shalun guide your hand ( on swap outs😋)!

Makes sense, but not very cinematic... From a user ease perspective, I still am looking for what I originally posted, but this might work for now |

Thanks for the feedback. We will work to improve. At this time, the best bet is to swap and examine. This is especially easier after fallen fixed the remaining swap issues. |

Definitely. I bet, in the end, its pretty much the same number of clicks!
