No or minimal pilot weapons

Two gunner stations

One covering the port side, one covering starboard

To fight effectively you need to line up broadsides

If the Catamaran is the average default ship and the Dart is designed for a smaller crew, this ship kinda needs a bigger crew

Other shit I would like in this game:

- An honest to god sniper rifle

I'm not normally wild about sniping but the way Jump Ship works lets you set up some wild shit

Like just

parking your ship over a battle field and having your crew jump down to fight robots while you just stand on your ship with your rifle and give covering fire from overhead

There's like a rifle that's basically an M1 Garand but it doesn't have a scope with magnification

I want ZOOM

- On foot bosses

There's larger enemy types but it would be suitably hectic to just have your mission goal be "land here and blow up this specific machine. It's really big and covered in guns."

- They're adding melee weapons and some of them can parry shots, apparently? So give me a shield

It would feel cool to hide behind a riot shield while charging a machine army

- just generally more enemy types would be nice

Both in space and on foot

- mission where you have to board an enemy battleship

Forces you to split the crew

Someone stays on the ship to continue evasive maneuvers

oh I like this
