Navigation Loadout Selection Forces Mission Start

[AACE_PC]

Issue:

Currently on the Switch, the Change Loudout and Mission Start functions are mapped to the same button, (Y). While playing Solo / not in a squad, this isn't that much of an issue. However, once you're in a squad and a player attempts to change their loadout from the star chart, they will inadvertently start the mission. This happens a lot while in squads with newer players and on occasion occur when attempting to swap loadouts before the mission is selected but a player quickly selects a mission just before changing your loadout.

 

Potential Solution:

Remap the Change Loadout function to (R3), which is currently unused in the Star Chart menu. This change will align with how changing loaduts functions in the Arsenal Menu.

 

Demonstration:

Not in a Squad / Solo, no issue. Pressing (Y) to Change Loadout works fine but still think this should be changed for congruency with the arsenal function shown below.

 

 

In a Squad / Public - Issue

Pressing (Y) will force the mission to start if you intend to change your loadout after a mission is selected. At this point the player is left with 9 seconds to make a selection.

 

Changing Loadout From the Arsenal

When changing your loadout from the Arsenal the player must press (R3) (control stick in) to access the loadout screen.
