We talked about this internally quite often, because from a balance point of view, this is also what I would like to see, basically sacrificing hardpoints for bigger ammo storage or something like that. At the moment, we do not know how to properly do it. We had some talks with Torsten and the resource network people about how to do that, having ammo belts and so on. That could theoretically do that. But at the moment, we don't have a proper plan for that yet. Long term, we absolutely would like to have that, because it also allows logistical mechanics behind that, where you can just serve as an ammo bearer for somebody else and so on. So yeah, nothing concrete yet. But in terms of balancing, it actually hurts us, because sometimes our weapons are mounted on different types [of ships]. And if I have a size three ballistic repeater on a medium fighter versus on a heavy fighter, I think on the heavy fighter it should have more ammo, right? Because it's just chunkier and bigger. And at the moment, we cannot do this. So this is actually an annoying problem for us as well.

He's not saying there's no ammo reload. He's saying, will it be separated boxes and stuff? There are still ships like the Vulcan. It's talking about just complete separation of every single ammo type from every single weapon. And he's saying he wants to do it. He's just saying there's no active in-progress thing for it.

At the moment, we cannot do it. I'm not sure if we'd actually have different ammo types for the same weapon, because usually we're balancing our weapons with a specific ammo type. But I mean, this can also change. At the moment, there are bigger fish to fry first.
