Thank you for your time!

Command when it releases, so I can play solo.

[Leyvonne]

The results look very interesting atm 😄 In a very good way tho.

[Kaotyke]

Engineer. Because I cant play the ship IF THERE IS NO SHIP!

I typically go for a Jack Of All Trades route in games (master of none) which normally hinders me, but w/e I guess.

Unless i see a future upgrade as something that really stands out to me I'll probably upgrade them one at a time so they'll all be roughly the same level as I go up the skills.

[Aldain]

Command.

Otherwise we'll see when the trees are out.

[0_The_F00l]

I am gonna fill out the role of waiting until they release command.

[Skaleek]

As is standard in Warframe, I will master them all.

This exactly. While being on console I have the slight chance the release will include command. Population on EU seems low. 

[BDMblue]

If command gives AI to work on your ship and it works in a team I’ll get that. 

But when it 1st comes out hmmmmm. Probably a support role so I can join groups easy.

i kinda want to push to the harder content so I’m sure I’ll just be archwinging around killing things with my millions of damage while the Railjack deals 50 dps.

[gaaraplayer]

cpt needs to pilot his ship, but engineer is also ideal so i can get things done myself.

[Loza03]

I'd love to pretend that I'd be gunner or pilot, taking command against the legions of Grineer or raining terror on hapless fools on the guns...

but 50% of my admittedly limited TF2 playtime being Engie and much of the rest being medic tells no lies.

I'm afraid Archwing weapons will be running on the same balancing as Railjack guns.

[Luciole77]

all ...playing solo....cant play warframe anymore due to host migrations....

[Jarriaga]

Command unless there's a kick button.

Your Railjack will actually consume resources in order to operate. You need to craft munitions and other things out of the new 4 RJ quest resources to do some stuff. So how's it going to be if you go public? Are other players spending your own farmed resources if you're hosting, or does it take resources from the player crafting the item?

1) If it uses your own resources, how comfortable are you letting other people use what you have farmed? How can you stop trolls from intentionally wasting your resources?

2) If it uses crew player resources, what if they refuse to share them for the mission or if they were careless and didn't farm and come prepared?

3) If the only player able to craft munitions is the owner of the Railjack, you now have to move all the way back and forth between opposite ends of the ship for piloting and crafting, or delegate piloting to another player (Which can now troll by veering the ship away or intentionally towards gunfire).

That's on top of possible trolls who will dance or play Shazwim in the middle of a deck fire and will refuse to follow their orders or handle their given tasks because "You can't tell them what to do" even though it is your Railjack, which you crafted with your own resources in order to host and they contributed absolutely nothing in order to build it.

GUNS!

MORE GUNS!

[zoffmode]

Very likely piloting cause I'm a huge fan of plane dogfighting. Also that's pretty much what I do in similar games. In Guns of Icarus, ended up piloting all the time and I believe without actively trying to hog the seat all the time.

[(NSW)Sniperfox47]

Command because I hate playing with other people.

Why is this not an option in the poll?

[-Krism-]

I like to be versatile, so I don't really know yet

[-AoN-CanoLathra-]

I'm going to go for Gunner/Engineer hybrid, so that I can support clanmates on their runs. I will switch over to Pilot if it turns out that all of my clanmates are crap pilots.

Having played a game with a situation similar to this (PoTC online), with the exact same potential for problems, there are solutions I can think of.

Crafting will most likely use the resources of the person doing the crafting, which would be scenario 2. And this question does have a pretty solid answer - if someone isn't willing to use their resources, and says so... switch roles. Like, seriously if you know why that's because they told you why, in which case the polite answer is 'Oh, Ok, I have plenty of resources, I'll build them. Take over for me whilst I do that.' If your response to the idea of that is 'why should I need to do that, they should have brought their own'... well, then, you're refusing to share for the mission, or were careless and didn't come prepared... in other words, problem 2 is only a problem if the person 'experiencing' the problem is themselves a part of the problem. Tragedy of the commons, I know

In terms of piloting, the solution PoTC came to was pretty elegant. The captain can always take the helm regardless of if another player is using it.

[zurdaro]

For me it will be Pilot at the start (it's what me and my duo partner agreed on) and later on probably try to mix in the command options.

You can see this when Rebb is flying archwing. It can be seen here:

Note against this enemy she's doing some fairly low damage about 16-18 on regular and 60 on a hit. Railjack weapons are dealing about 50 per hit.

Most likely, the Archwing's main advantage is its separation from the Railjack, drawing enemy fire and being able to spread damage over a wider area. Of course, that's not taking into account the possible build Rebb is using or potential new mods.

Reb is always under modded in devstreems. I did not see her say anything about the arch gun.

I mean look when she goes in a ship and try’s to kill something by shooting it. The damage is the same as her archguns. This is just the dev build that probably gets reset all the time and she’s just barely equipped for the mission.

im sure are archguns are still using mods. So doing millions of dps.

 

tho if I’m wrong I’ll admit it and I would like to see them say it though:s

Default to using personal resources. Public chest you can stock before mission. Private stock the captain only can ration.
That's my suggestion to fix this.

I'm absolutely playing either engineer or tactical, and would take gunnery over piloting.
Putting out fires and running defensive support is my kinda thing.
