I'm repeating myself for the millionth time, but Rapid Fire has ALWAYS been worthless when compared to Cannon in terms of pure DPS because the Ship does not break often enough for Rapid Fire's DPS contribution to be significant at all. If not having Demolition for 10% of the time is enough to make Buccaneers consider Barrage worthless, why is Rapid Fire any different? Right now with the 90 second cooldown, I have my ship at least 90% of the time at a hard-hitting boss like Targa. The only reason to use Rapid Fire ever is to avoid having to deal with the time it takes to mount the ship and the limited mobility of the ship. Same reason to use Flamethrower instead of Torpedo. This doesn't change. The only thing that changes is that we don't have to deal with the annoying couple of seconds when the ship actually does break anymore.
