Occupation Loadouts/Preferences

[Fortport]

Every job has those items you are forced to spawn with in your inventory by default. This is annoying because you might not necessarily want these items and wouldn't necessarily wear them or take them to work with you. Captain has the captain's cap and sunglasses, and doctors usually get a labcoat and penlight. This means you literally have to throw these things away or stuff them somewhere every time you join into the game and not want them. Or if you have a jacket or hat already, you have to change.

My suggestion is this. Give us occupation preferences in our character setup, where we simply say yes or no to optional objects.

Captain

Sunglasses: Yes/No

Captain's Cap: Yes/No

Medical Doctor

Penlight: Yes/No

Labcoat: Yes/No

Sounds reasonable to me, assuming it can be coded without greater hassle.

Basically the same as [mention]EngineersDream[/mention] If its not a hassle to code, go nuts. If its a pain in the ass, might want to focus on other things. It has my +1 though for being a good idea and allowing better loadouts.

I have literally no trouble stashing my cmo labcoat which I hate (white and unassuming for Fernando, thanks) within the first 5 seconds of the round. Also why wouldn’t you want a penlight, they’re awesome.

It's not impossible to get rid of your crap. But every single round? Your character's bringing a labcoat he hates, in this case, to work. And wearing it. Every day. Oh, and penlights were just an example. Not everyone hates them. There's just plenty of stuff I'm sure people would rather have be optional. rather than have forced into their slots just to remove them consistently within seconds of spawning.

+1 from me, as long as you could also get rid of the annoying apron and plant analyser botanist spawn with, it is really annoying to have to remove them and my start of each round I made macros to do it faster its that tedious.

Whenever you spawn on the ODIN, you get equipped with a grey hoodie.

I'm wearing a high-style suit, why the hell do I want a crappy hoodie.

If it gets rid of that, +1 from me as well.
