This is directed towards the Developers, but please feel free to let me know what you think.
I find that the maximum cannon ammo storage barrel available (125 for most) really is not sufficient anymore. The amount made sense when loot runs were much shorter, but with increased cargo capacity for many ships and a significant amount of time spent on mat runs (which are far longer) the maximum no longer seems viable.
Therefore, I propose that the developers and another cannon ammo storage barrel available for purchase that increases the maximum ammo to 250 for the majority of ammo types and 25 for explosive rounds. I still think cannoneers on runs will run out of ammo well before they port, but this will prevent every from having to switch to round shot after ten percent of a run is complete. If that seems high, I'm sure an argument could be made for 200. Perhaps multiple larger container sizes could be added.
Let me know your thoughts. I hope to see something this, or a version of it, eventually implemented into the game. Also, despite being a long-time POTCO player and big reader of the forums, I am new to posting on the forums, so let me know if there is somewhere better to post this.
