Make Gunners A Relevant Choice
Richard LeMoon:
I have been thinking about this for some time now, and it has always made more sense to me that a gunner would be able to fix guns faster than someone more used to fixing the rest of the ship. You don't take your guns to a mechanic.
Stamina is crap. I have always hated the way it was implemented. Wider arcs are the worst of the bunch.
No more buff gunners. Never should have been. This breaks game balance more than anything else. Anyone that tries to say "But buffgunners blah blah blah better than gunners." instantly loses massive amounts of my respect. No tool should change what an AMMO does, unless you are taking apart every single bullet and modifying them. Changing gun arcs, shortening loading times, increasing gun movement, and reducing recoil should have been the domain of the buff hammer. Stamina would never have been needed since an engineer would have been supplementing a gun's abilities but not its damage.
Omniraptor:
This is actually more or less perfect. switch functionality of buff hammer and gunner stamina.
Richard LeMoon:
I would not be opposed to gunner 'stamina' being used to very briefly increase damage like the buff does now. But change the name to 'Focus' instead, allowing the gunner to focus completely on the gun and the target. Give it a cool tunnel vision effect and a slight zoom. Mute or muffle all chat and other game sounds, remove all other UI, . Whatever. Have it reduce recoil a bit similar to holding breath in virtually all other games with a FP gun. Have it do more damage, like most other games that have a 'focus' mode. Remove buff damage increase. Give guns back to gunners. I have been yelling this exact thing since I first heard of stamina.
Arturo Sanchez:
already suggested long ago that all other crews revert to the old ammo change mechanic of being trapped on the gun to load ammo.
While the gunner has the exclusive ability to quick reload.
