    I have been for two days and I am in dilemma- which ship to invest my time and resources on. I have previously excelled in roles in healing in other games but BB seems to be a little different. People just don't stick together so that I can heal them. I lost many matches with a fixer. I was playing a Shooter on a friend's phone who had a shooter MK2(with three weapons). I was easily able to kill at least 4 ships and the end match rewards were sweet too with 3 stars. It's not the same with fixer. I hardly inflict damage with the cannon. I have blast cannon and sniper cannon but 11 seconds cooldown time is a lot. I do not have whole day to play, I just want something to pass time. Which ship should I go with?

    I am fairly new and just recently became mk3 fixer. As you rise in infamy, say above 800, some players (not all) pay more attention to fixer in my experience. So it does get better. You learn to stay near a pack too...just don't follow that speeder who is scouting/hunting or the crazy kamikaze guy; it will end badly.

    In any case, perhaps you should start with another boat you like and wait to level fixer when you are higher up. Sounds like it could be less painful that way. ;-)

    I understand your problem I would go both lol
    At least for the first few mks due to how long it takes to upgrade crew you should be able to play both.
    I play fixer mk 3 and love it you just gotta learn how to best help the team! No games the same with fixer which is why I love it!

    Also find yourself a guild and get some allies when your in a platoon with another fixer or a defender you will excel!

    Both the Shooter and Fixer are my favorite rolls to play within the game but I will say that I have spent more time and resources on my Fixer. Personally I find hanging back and healing my team more fun and enjoyable than the pressure of causing as much DPS as possible. The set back at times tends to be the fact that 1) you have little control over the damage output and almost no control over where your teammates will be, and 2) the rewards at the end of a battle tend to be a bit less and achieving a 3 star rating is extremely difficult. I roll an MK3 Fixer and its pretty effective image1.PNG

    Damn! Impressed to see so many Fixer MK3s. How do you all get rare items? I am captain level 8 and all I have are uncommons.

    What is your #matches to #kills ratio as a Fixer? I ask this because as a Fixer people just killsteal since they have high damaging weapons and more in number than me.

    Figured. I wish the devs added something like HP healed under stats. We need something to show off too, don't we?

    There are many threads bemoaning this....an awful oversight on their part. But it is early in the game!!! At least we influence battles, earn infamy and stars to spend at a decent rate.

    Felix & Dr. Buzzkill gives the Fixer specific bonuses -- Scroll through all crew & find the easy to grab 5% boost of x too all ships, they are all worthwhile. Swift (Overboost) & Block (Hp, def & small shield) are good places to look if you aren't sure which weapon you want to improve.
