New loadout selection annoyance

It's just one of those little things that just gets more and more annoying every time I encounter it.

Re: New loadout selection annoyance Whats the point in having a customisable loadout that is limited by weapon slots of classes? Take Raider for example, I want plasma/gren launcher combo without the machine guns but can't because they are both in the same slot, so I currently have a choice between a machine gun and a machine gun... Or is the intention of Hi Rez to swamp each slot with huge numbers of weapons for us to choose from, if so what time frame before customisable loadouts become actually useful? As I remember in original games certain weapons were for certain armour classes and number of weapons that could be carried too, What if I own all the current weapons and want to use Heavy Spinfusor in combination with the Saber Launcher, both heavy weapons for a heavy class but cant because they are in different classes and weapon slots..... The thought of customisable loadouts should allow for this but its currently just a less restrictive restriction.

It would make sense to eliminate the extra selection step for classes which you haven't purchased loadout slots, maybe they'll tweak this down the road.
