Questions about the GUNNER

The only ship where I could see this happening would be on the Galleon, in order to repair your other gun.

Well what I meant was, that on low-speed-reload guns there's no reason not to do that. Usually even a hit with a hammer/mallet helps with repairing your gun so it's more effective during the next round. As an example we could you the usual noob friendly hwacha goldfish. Between the rounds, you can easily repair a baloon, side gun or the front gun instead of just sitting there.

But on the Goldfish you already have two engineers repairing things. If the gunner needs to go repair the balloons, the engines, or even a side gun, then the engineers probably aren't doing their job properly. If the ship is falling apart all over, though, the captain might want you helping out with the engines or something.
Pickle:
A N-S has said, the Goldfish is the ship you're least likely to switch to repair mode whilst the Hwacha reloads. I prefer one Gunner on a Goldsfish and he stays on the gun at all times, unless the ship has no maneouvering engines - in which case his gun is highly unlikely to be able to bear unless he helps out fixing them. With two Engineers, plus the Pilot able to run back to the Balloon, the Gunner shouldn't have to concern himself much with fixing. I even prefer the Gunner to *not* use the side mounts and to leave them for an Engineer to cover.
Meneldour:
This might be caused by my lack of experience, but I still don't see any downside for using the reload time to do something else. :(
Well, let's leave it at that and not spam the thread more with semi-OT discussion.
