But yeah. I'd like to see testing of reducing hits to buff guns and how that affects buff-engie and gunner cooperation. Makes it take less time to prebuff gunner guns, but at the same time might be OP in terms of giving the buff engie much more ability to have permanent buffs on their gun.

If the goal is to make gunners see play more, buff their stamina. That's their one unique "no other class can do this" quirk, so make it so gunners can use it more often.

If the goal is to just nerf the buff hammer for being good, then I don't have anything I want to say.

Buff engies already have permanent buffs and rarely run out, the main reason being the gun getting broken. Fewer hits to buff after rebuilt would be a buff. Similarly, increasing duration hardly effects buff engies as they can easily keep their own guns buffed, but it effects the rest of the crew as they can buff another gun for longer. Instead of one or two clips it'll last twice as long

The simplest way to buff gunner stamina is increasing the passive recharge rate - it's the lowest of all classes

There hasn't been much feedback so it sounds like we're staying with +10% dmg, 40 sec duration, 5 sec buff time

Richard LeMoon:
Need more feedback from testers on this. The goal was increase the utility of the buff hammer on multiple guns over using it is just another ammo on one gun.

Did you have enough time to keep more than one gun buffed?

Did you keep more things buffed, including guns?

Was the damage on guns noticeably less?

What would you change?

"Need more feedback from testers on this. The goal was increase the utility of the buff hammer on multiple guns over using it is just another ammo on one gun."
Initial buff + "just another ammo on one gun" ;)

"Did you have enough time to keep more than one gun buffed?"
that part hasn't changed!

"Did you keep more things buffed, including guns?"
no, but that other gun was buffed for 3 - 4 clips, not 1 -2 ;D

"Was the damage on guns noticeably less?"
10% less XD

"What would you change?"
the most popular proposal was reducing time to buff from 6 seconds to 3 - 5

Richard LeMoon:
Forgot a few questions:

How many matches did you play?

What ships/crew position did you play?
