For hosted multiplayer games allow us to add requirements, Like Multiplayer game, All players will be quipped with Absolver Beam (or weapon of choice) upon joining or they cannot join until they equip that weapon or if they don’t own it, Game gives them Absolver Beam with 0-2 Power. Same with ships like All ships will be same, So If Someone wants to do Mjölnir party, Players upon joining will be equiped with that ship, Those who don’t have that ship will not be able to join.
Just an idea so I can see All players who join me are using Corn shotgun and my hosted game can be annoying and painful to complete! or All players who join me for Boss Rush like missions are using Absolver Beam or some good killer weapon upon joining!
You join with 0-2 power, In Battles you can pick up power and be more powerful like 10+10 etc. Majority of hosts are good enough to let you take power… It is very small number of people who will not let you take power in their hosted game.
