Bring back the Gunner

[RomanKar]

I have noticed, as I am sure others have, that gunners are not getting much love.  Becoming more and more rare to find more than one gunner per ship.  The reasons are very obvious, but I would like to see what suggestions could be made to make the gunner class more attractive to Captains and the community at large.

My first suggestion is to give gunners a buff.  Specifically one that makes a lot of sense -- a reduction in reload time.

I'm not real good with the numbers, but I'm thinking somewhere around 20% would be good enough to give Gunners a guaranteed spot on my ship.

Any other suggestions?

Many people have been discussing the decline of gunners over in this thread:

I'm against numerical buffs to a class for reasons that many have stated in that thread.

Check DMax's link. This was done in an early version of the game, with disastrous results.
