He's too modest to make his own post, but jgoldshlag says:

Yes, we will do this, but I don't know when we'll be able to get it done.

Hello all,

GM Nindir was kind enough to leave the thread open, but alas, it seems that we'll have to close it. Please take some time to read the PotBS Community Rules.

Cheers,
Danicia

It's part of the stats on the gun. It only applies to variant ships. All MC ships have reload bonuses. Some Heavy and Sleek ships have reload bonuses. I'm thinking about posting a list, but it's the kind of information that gets outdated fast.

If players really want to take fallbacks to 40 we don't really care. The best fallback ship you get is a nerfed level ~18 ship. I'd also argue that, if played properly, purchasing ships at key intervals as you level will actually benefit you financially because of your increased combat effectiveness. Playing through both ways, I came out wealthier with purchased ships because I had so much extra time due to burning through missions and OS battles faster.

I did? I don't really know GM Joany. I fought most people who asked in beta, but we're not in beta anymore.

"Think of the Men, Captain" will be different in 1.2. The pirate/French spawn table balance has been fixed and the timer is now several minutes longer.

Still in development!

When it's ready, there won't be a link to "the new system," it will just replace the current one. We'll be publishing news on the topic as well. It should be very obvious and prominent once it's live.

Taelorn says the tooltip tends to be more trustworthy so I've updated the Release Notes based on what you say the tooltips say. Thanks!

I just want to reassure you we're looking into this and will post updates when they're available.

I know we're looking into this. I'll post updates when they're available.
