    if i were to use a carronade in battle the most logical ship to use is speeder right? But a speeder with a cannon is much more effective and sure there are also talents and upgrades but swift's talents cant support a carronade enough to be a more essential weapon in battle, due to the fact that a cannon is more stronger because 1. each cannon upgrade significantly highers the weapons damage but each carronade upgrade is significantly lower(about o.5 i think)
    2. both of them has the same reload speed but the cannon has the range advantage
    So i propose that the devs would either lower the reload speed of the carronade about 4 sec, or higher the reload speed of a cannon about 7.5,
    Or add the carronade way more shells but lower the damage of each shells of course and give it more range and make it some kind of barrage. (i know thats probably a bit too much) and that would be the end of my ideas and issues of this topic

    Carronades are getting quite dangerous after reciving more projectiles on higher talent levels so this is not possible. In top leagues carronade would kill ships in less than 15 secs if reloading would be lowered. Cannon is not even nearly as dangerous when both high level (epic carronade t5 and 7 projectiles deals about 1300-1400 dmg (one projectile about 150-200 dmg depending on perks rarity) if all hits and cannon deals 500-800 dmg with same speed)

    Well im only a week old in the game but on early levels the cannon kicks butt and the carronade is barely mediocre in battles because people would target you instantly when close range

    Yes and that's why different weapons are needed in different stages in game. Anyway now you know carronade can deal more dmg and isn't needing anymore power up or faster relaoding :)
    Happy battling and hopefully I'll see you some day in ace/nightmare leagues

    And maybe they should tweak the early level gameplay

    As I said, carro is more of a latemid-end game weapon. Youre currently better off with cannon
