Is there a way to alter what shows up by default in the Buy menu? As much as I like Rocket MK1s, Soldier Lights, SMGs and Medium Diggers, I'd like to use drop crates instead, with no preselected cargo. I couldn't find the defaults in any of the INIs. Did I just not look hard enough?

I'm pretty sure it's hard-coded. I hope they add savable presets.

Seconded. That'd be quite nice.

I support this notion as well.

Or at least make the default modifiable.

fourth'd, makes for a waste of time selecting what i want and having to wipe it each time..

Fifth'd although I don't think it really annoying at all, it would be pretty useful to have presets.

With several presets available I would totally have my dummy loadout, and my drop crate full of blue bombs, and I really don't need anything else.

I don't know if it should be in a .ini and only editable out-of-game or if there should be in-game editors. I would really like there to be things that are edited in-game though. See : Activities really need to be compiled AFTER mods are parsed.

I'd like an extension of this: Moddable Buy Menu selections for lua scenes.

Limiting the stuff you can buy through Lua would also be nice, we could then make proper unlockables. (Unless this is already possible... Tim? You there?)

Sixth'd, with emphasis on the presets.

This. Some people may not like it, but I want to have some sort of feeling of achievement, instead of having a freaking mini-gun on the first level.

I have been wanting this today. In skirmish on death difficulty start time is precious and boring to pick it everytime you die. I mostly don't like to always have to choose the deliver ship, and when I forget it, is a desaster.

They could do/allow a few pre-sets but I'm guessing that would affect gameplay, since the picking time might be part of it, especially for multiplayer.

This would also allow making proper faction-missions,
only dummy stuff could be bought etc...
