    Dear devs.

    Much has changed since beta and the early days of BB. Back then it made sense to use a restrictive crew retraining system, giving new players some direction & syphoning small amounts of pearls out of impatient respeccers. The game we have now has changed too much for a respeccing system with 7day talent lockdowns to make much sense. We have guildquests requiring us to swap boats & items on a daily (sometimes hourly) basis, we have cool new events that allow usage of a more diverse part of our equipment.

    My #1 wish for the next patch is a complete rethink of how crew retraining works.
    —
    Id suggest giving us different talent setups to swap between - They could either be tied to the boats, or they could work indepentantly. If you let them work indepentantly, then you could turn it into a way to stimulate Pearl usage. Fx 2nd spec = 500 pearls, 3rd spec = 1k pearls, etc.

    I would love to play more boats efficiently, fx its brutal how large a hit to defender Hp to take if you want to make your other boats viable also.

    Love this idea, I would happily pay a good amount of pearls to cater for multiple builds.
    So each boat has its own copy of your talent tree, and you go ahead and choose which talents you want on for that build slot.
    If you buy a 2nd slot, then you can alter your talents for that loadout etc.

    This would allow us to easily adapt to guild quests, and make trying different setups more viable.
    Right now if you want to switch you usually have about 6 hours of crew retraining plus any pearls required for transferring perks (dont understand why that costs anyway)

    Sniper enfo is great!! I ran flare with 2 blasts, but one was only a rare 40, so I exchanged it for an epic 40 sniper, I much prefer it!

    During the Toobers event at weekend, @The Grim Repair said that they were looking at crew training. I can’t remember exactly what was said as she didn’t give a lot away.

    That was probably deliberate, they like to keep surprises as a surprise :D
