Why It's Good For The Game

The changes to equipment on board the ship are good for players as it provides more options. Players will now have trade offs to consider when chosing their equipment in adverse conditions. Because of the PGF's strict uniform protocols, providing these options to players also allows them to enjoy different styles and looks whilst remaining lore friendly.

The changes to the ship's layout on the bridge is in response to the innability of the ship's command staff to be everywhere at once. By including more space to work on the bridge and a security camera console, the captain now has access to essential equipment in close proximity to their primary work station, the helm.

Finally, with the addition of combustion engines, including ships that utilize them more heavily makes for interesting variaton and challenge. Increasing engineering interaction.

Just wanted to ask, in regard to the turrets. With the way that other ship's turrets are set up, they have their turrets set as being in a "Bridge" tile same as this PR. I did notice though, that in all the other ships with turrets, said turrets were tucked into the walls, not on outside platforms.

I don't think I can make the turrets work without them being in "Bridge" tiles, so I assume that's not the issue and the issue is more about their positioning? If the turrets were attached to a wall. Like on the Komodo for example, would that be alright?

Made the requested changes, looks a lot better now with the input I received so I appreciate the motivation. The role changes have been made as well as a change to the marine leader's cape so that it is now a "Marine Officer's Cape". Lastly, I reverted the turret fix that was using the bridge area changes and instead just shifted their starting mode to be lethal.

I'll TM this, but I need you to update your image, and show what your firelocks under the windows look like. I believe I know but I would like it for posterity.

[DIB-DOG]

Can do! Here's the images you requested

This is beneath the bridge window shutters:

These are the firelocks beneath said bridge windows:

Cool. Saw this on live, no problems that I see.
