Remember Last Weapon

[Armulus Satchula]

With the introduction of weapons that can be used that don't hurt people badly (wasters, pillows, spoons) it might be nice the default weapon. I think in most cases, people attack with non-lethal weapons.

If you've never attacked anyone before, your default weapon would be the one with the least possible damage output. There is a drop down there so you can easily change it. The list should still be ordered the same way it is now.

If I attack with a weapon that weapon type will be the type of weapon i use in my next attacks. If you are a soldier practicing with a waster, a waster can be your default weapon. If you need to stop pirates, you attack once with a sabre and the next attack you go to do will have sabre as the default weapon. Now that all the pirates are dead, you attack a friendly soldier with a waster. All attacks from this point on have the waster as the default selected weapon.

Seems like it would do more harm that good, with people forgetting about their defaults. I don't think the current self-select mechanism is in any way irritating.

Yeah, I don't like the idea of defaults, but it would be nice if you could somehow seperate real from training weapons and put them both above crap like logs and peaveys, etc.
