When we released 2.32 we were met with mixed feedback about the new cannon system. Not so much about the ranging itself but how we made this mechanic operate. We realized it went against the grain of what you'd expect from a first person shooter and instead opted to revamp it as a traditional artillery reticle. We have had this crosshair tested in a beta branch all week by players on our discord and it is now ready to go live. https://i.imgur.com/LNsn5yy.png Hopefully this helps new players realize how it works much quicker and streamlines the process overall. Note that detection has changed and it uses an actual arc. Distant shots will be notably more difficult but this is intended as we want to encourage more boarding gameplay and less 20 minute matches of ship sniping. Tyler & Dakota
