Why do people restrict their games to 1 of each of the classes?

[Chainlink]

You force somebody to go Scout (shame on you) and you make it so that there can't be 2 Drillers, 2 Engies or 2 Gunners, which can be fun - e.g. multiple shields, or buddies helping each other with their turrets, or just lots of 'splosions (Driller C4).

Then join lobby without restriction or make your own lobby.

Some players like having one of each. I personally let people play whatever they like in my lobbies. Just don't join games that have the class enforcement. Different strokes for different folks.

Sooooo...

They force you so you want to force them now?

[ゲ-で]

Host your own game?

It's to make the game harder, by gimping players through forcing them to play a class they suck as.

1 of each class is the best way to play the game imo.
If you disagree, host your own games or find some lobbies where it's not locked.

Default option. Thats the reason.

I agree playing Scout is a terrible fate. I am trying to get my Scout to Gold and it is the most un-fun thing possible. The horrifying thing is I am terrible at it, but I am still better than 80% of random Scouts I have seen in pubs.

That being said I wish I could do a "by class limit", my preference is one scout max and any number of anything else.

When I host with no limit, I get allot of Scout doubling; and I don't know why.

My favorite one is one a level 400+ players goes second scout. I don't care how good you think you are don't do that, you should know better.

This is no politics, he was right. They made their lobby so they have the right to set the game whatever they like. If ppl join there then everyone is happy. You dont like it so you dont join.

Sometimes I go 2nd Scout (yes I am running out of (possibly) fun things to do in this game) and then really tailgate the other Scout i.e. zipline to everywhere he goes. With the idea being we are like 2 inseperable Scouts now with double the firepower, harvesting speed etc. And it shows you things really do go quicker when you work together.

Because i don't want 3 scouts batmaning around while i do all the work.

[V0lcanF1re]

I like the team play, 2 gunners or 3 that not sending thier zipline to minerals is not fun.

3 scouts who dont try to power pickaxe to make a hole and take minerals is no fun.

Enginner who place platforms without a scout or driller or a gunner to reach hard spot is no fun.

Mostly like when there is changes in same classes not all the same or a class that not helping the other.

Why not all be only drillers and use EPC and drill to minerals without a team?

The point this fit only late joiners can't pick the same class together, But if all already in the Space Rig 17 so this class restrict not working, only the host have to tell them to change class etc if feel a problem with it.
