Here is my planned build leaving out the skills I don't plan on sinking any points into.

Combat Skills
2-4/5 Shoot

Ammo
1/5 Round Shot (default)
5/5 Thunderbolt
5/5 Fury

Passive Skills
5/5 Rapid Reload
5/5 Barrage

23-25/26

My questions are the following:

How big of a difference is there from 2 to 4 points in shoot? I currently have shoot at 2/5 and I can usually get off all 3 shots with only the occasional misfire (click too early and have to make an extra click to fire off one of the 3 shots). Would 3 make it so that I would be all set and be able to pump all 3 shots out in a quick series of clicks? Would 4 be overkill where it would be pretty much humanly impossible to click that fast to fire off all three shots that quickly?

How is Shrapnel? Is it worth the one point to unlock it? Depending on how many points I have left over (from deciding if I should go either 2, 3 or 4 in shoot) would I be better off unlocking another ammo type or sinking the extra points into shrapnel or maybe just one of those points into shrapnel and one into an ammo type?

How well does Grape Shot perform in ship PvP? Is it worth the 5 points if you plan on PvPing? Would one point suffice in PvP? Would one of the other 3 ammo types (Chain Shot, Firebrand or Explosive) be a better investment over Grape Shot?

Sorry for all the questions. I'm just trying to get a good idea on what I should and what I shouldn't take due to the lack of respecing that seems to be missing in this game. Has there been any hints as to a possible respecing quest of some sort in the near future?
