Hi,
New players should be able to push the launch button in a scout and get an immediately useful loadout. Not 4x ammo in inventory.
I propose:
Probe Slot: EWS probe
Cargo: Nan, 1x prox, rest probes.

That would be nice.
It is however a Code change as far as I'm aware, as the initial loadout on launching is Code generated.
Think there was something about this in R6 though.

It is, but you don't have fine control over it - you can't determine what goes into which slot. Basically if you have guns it'll fill it up with ammo and if you have a booster it'll fill it up with fuel. You get to pick what goes in the dispenser slot and the missile slot, then you get another one of each in a cargo slot.

if you removed the gat from default scout loadout and replaced it with a nan the loadout you start with would look like this
weapon slot 1: nan
missile slot 1: missile
probe/prox slot 1: probe/prox
shield slot: shield
chaff slot: chaff
cargo:
missile
probe/prox
empty
empty
empty

You find the function BuyDefaultLoadout() in \src\clintlib\clintlib.h line 1824.

I have a slightly different suggestion.
We already have a feature that allows us to save and load full loadouts. We could just use loadout nr 11 (currently there is only 10, but it looked easy to add another when i checked the code) to save a 'default loadout' for certain ships and distribute it together with the core files.
That allows specific ship customizations without core change instead of running into issues like fighters loading the cargo full with minepacks.
Edit: One would need a tool to create these files, or we can just use an existing slot and create them with allegiance but that is time-intensive and allows overwriting by accident and destroying the default.
