I just want to be able to leave the cannons after I fire one. Right now I have to wait until the cannon has completely cooled down before I can let go of it. The reload time can stay the same, I don't really care. But come on, let me walk away while she is cooling off.
Think it was done this way to prevent you from hoping off 1 cannon, then getting in the second(frigate), then back to the first, avoiding the CD's..
