Good guide - I liked the tactical assessment of weapon conbinations to compliment the LJ.
its like a 35% chance he's got lesmok for the long shots you need to make.
this is the main issue for me - and I'm choosing my words carefully here because I'm not suggesting I don't like using the lumberjack or that there's anything wrong with people not getting how to use it - horses for courses as it were. I play a lot of pick-up matches and players I see regularly have a grasp of what their role is about but I often have to tailor my ships to match the crew. I wouldn't even contemplate something more linear like the lumberfish with a crew where the majority are new (to me) and nevermind a galleon - which is something you yourself admit, it's all about knowing your gunner and the gunner knowing you - which takes many many matches.
