Yep. And if you run practice match 1v0 - everyone in your crew are AI. If you'll pick practice 1vs1 - you won't be able to start a match, and the game doesn't explain why.

Wiki says these are medium guns.

Anyway - It's good cause it encourages mixed crews and reassures gunners got their own role where they are irreplaceable. Bad thing obviously is that it creates first kind of items that cannot be used by other classes, but in general IMHO it makes sense.

Random idea:
Make Medium Guns - like Hellhund - possible to operate only by gunners.

Hi,
I just bought the so got some fresh look on a game, and as far as in terms of gameplay - it looks really great - GUI leaves me few things to wish for. Hope you'll find it constructive

• Lobby - doesn't remember last settings, forcing user to set his filters over and over again. Really frustrating
• Lobby - from all of the filters there, the most useful one is missing: Region. I want to limit my games to the EU, yet I can't and need to fish them between US games >_>
• Lobby - there is no option to sort games. Eg. I'd like to sort them by number of ships in a battle to try playing as a captain, but there is no way making whole process very difficult as list keeps on refreshing so more often than not I can see games disappearing right from under my cursor
• Lobby - font size. It's gigantic. I can see 8 games on a screen that could easily fit 12 or more given some normal size of a fonts (res 1080p here)
• Progress window - Prizes - Redeemable - why exactly do I have to redeem prizes manually? I stumbled upon this option purely by accident. And I can't recall when I seen something like that last time o_O Can't you just display a notification after the match if I have an option to unlock something - like pretty much every other game out there?
• Ship menu / Shop - just one tiny note here cause otherwise: It's great. Ships paint is very underwhelming. It's applied only to the balloons and it's got very low tint (if that's the right expression) - paint seems to be very transparent in comparison to the paint on clothes. It'd be also great to have an option of applying paint to the wings or external hull armor.
• Practice Mode - It doesn't offer practice against AI ship? Even if I pick 1vs1? Interface never gives me any hint what am I doing wrong and why I can't start a practice 1vs1 match. Perhaps if player clicks ready and he is the only human in the lobby - game should give a hint that more players are required to join in order to start a battle?
• Game hints - Spyglass - could use a hint in game on how exactly to spot the enemy (I also found myself trying to spot friendlies... really had no clue how to differ friendly from the enemy unless someone else spotted them for me during first few matches... now I know there are some tiny flags in color of a faction, but.. >_> )

Other than that - well done developers! I really enjoyed my with with the game so far. Looking forward for more customization options - already bought my pack for a character, really adds to the charm.
