I know of course youc an switch anything at base, but how about in space?

If I pick up a weapon I can use in space (from destroying an enemy), I so far cannot find a way to switch one of my current weapons off, and switch that one on.

I know these are weapons my ship and my rank are capable of utilizing too.

No you can't - The idea is that you need the facilities of a "dry-dock" to switch weapons...

Ah, no space suit to do a little walking....

Can you imagine being in the middle of a furball and donning a suit to go outside and retrofit a newly "acquired" weapon system?

It does bring up the idea though. Can you imagine an even smaller ship than we currently see in the game? Say an escape pod or even suit? Minimum thrusters, minimum shields, no weapons. That way in MP when you die instead of just re-spawning you could jet back over to a station and buy a new ship with the cash you have in the bank.....

Well, ok, so probably not a very good idea......

./sig If you can't get there by walking....
