Are you planning to increase ammunition or add extra magazines for ballistics?

TL;DRThey want ballistic ammo management with bigger ammo boxes for bigger ships, but capacities are currently restricted for balance and will be reevaluated once physicalized armor gameplay is done.

Okay, so yes. So there's two things here. So we want to have some ballistic ammo management and support things like that bigger ships can just use bigger ammo boxes. Right now, we can't do that. And because of that, we had to restrict the weapon loadouts or the ammo capacities in a lot of the Gatling guns and the cannons. This was more for balance reasons, and this is not the way it's supposed to be. What we actually want to do is to tie the ballistics gameplay closer to the physical armor gameplay, and once that physicalized armor gameplay is done, then we can reevaluate the ballistic counts again. That said, at the moment, the ballistic count is related to what kind of purpose the weapon has, and if the purpose of the weapon is to attack larger ships, it has more ammo. So, for example, the Behring Gatling series has a lot more ammo than the other Gatlings. But also that's all work in progress that will change over time.
