Sure, that might let you fit a turret more easily, but it could also just be used to stack even more HP by the same solo pilots everyone seems to hate.

While I like the idea of more fitting space, I would much rather see gunners get benefits for the millions of skill points they have invested like they do right now.

Comimg from someome who is a solo pilot people hate I can only respect the homesty of this opinion. And instead of viewing such a statement with cynicism I think we must seriously consider this. Darth is a great solo pilot. So if he is advocating for more role for side gunners I think that is admirable even if in the end such a thing is truly self serving it sounds honest.

I was under the impression that the stacking of bonuses for dropship gunners was intended to be a reward for skill points invested in the role, not a bug. I don't believe this is as much of an issue as people seem to think it is. Not only is it a massive investment of skill points and time on the part of the pilot/gunner, but by fitting an extra turret it reduces the dropship's fitting capabilities and creates a risk-reward scenario. If it has to be changed in some way, can we at least reward gunners with some sort of bonus for their chosen profession and allocation of time? Perhaps cut the ROF bonus in half or allow gunners to otherwise apply tangible buffs to the vehicles they are riding in. Purchase Aurum Today!

And we actually get rewarded for doing teamwork unlike the solo python scrubs that just farm kills. Exactly. Why destroy one of the most intensely cooperative elements of the game. It's akin to logis and heavies. Purchase Aurum Today!
