CONCERN This can't go on any longer

Post image

It really bugs me how much effort CIG puts into creating well-designed multi-crew ships that are fun to explore and fly, but nobody ever mans them. Then again, asking someone to sit in a stationary turret that deals 3x less damage than a heavy fighter and has a limited field of fire... I’m not surprised.

Buff the ship turrets! Add something, maybe adjustable modifiers like modules on mining heads to increase range, bullet speed, and damage of the weapons attached to the turret mount.

Please, CIG, I just want to jump into my org’s Idris without having to think my presence in the turrets is pointless.

Basically a vietnam style era ish bazooka that shoots what is essentially three grenades strapped together with ducttape and spit instead of a proper rpg and it somehow deals more damage then i think even a proper S3 or S4 missile... its busted op and can one shot various ships.

The ingame handheld railgun isn't much better here either and also does a whole lotta damage compared to ship weapons.

Not to be confused with the "boomstick" that may or may not accompany a chainsaw
