Suggestion - Default setup for each ship

[bschoner]

Perhaps I'm just lazy, but I find the setup portion of each FTL session a little tedious. I have to select the ship I want, rename it, select each crew member in turn, rename THEM (so I know who's the gunner, who's the engineer, etc.), assign everyone to their starting positions, and then I can finally start playing. Once I die, I can restart the game and most of those settings are still intact, but every time I have to close the game, starting over means a lot of clicking and typing before I can actually play.

Would it be feasible to set up a "default loadout" for each ship type - ship name and colors (when colors are available), crew names/genders/positions, etc.?

Failing that, would it be possible to at least simplify the renaming process? Clicking on "rename," then backspacing over the existing name and putting in a new one is unnecessarily tedious. It seems like it wouldn't be that hard to select/delete the existing name when you click "rename," or perhaps just enable us to click on the name field and delete/type directly into it?

Thanks!

Best,

Brian

I love this idea, and would love to see it implimented. I hate having to rename everything everytime the game is reset.
