[2019] Skills extremely lackluster

I've talked with some players who have made monstrous builds using bonus damage on Pulsed enemies, so I wouldn't be so quick to write off some of the more niche ones. But I can definitely see where you're coming from. As Birdman alluded to, how do you guys feel some of the skills can be improve and raise all ships rather than bringing low some of the more potent ones?

Side note: how might it feel to have some of the strongest and highest potential skills be the ones with the manual targeting systems?

Couldn't agree more!

Snipped 99% of your comment quote for the sake of brevity and scroll wheels everywhere, but I really like a lot of what you had written about the various skills. What you wrote about the turret particularly piqued my interested. Do you feel that more of the skills should have a trade off similar to that of the flame turret? Where it's highly effective in certain scenarios - or the artillery turret where it might require a bit more gear synergy to be great?

By the way you missed one of my favorites - the sniper turret.
