pyramidions, pyramidions everywhere
Zenark:
I used to love the Pyra... I still do, but for both ramming and looks only. Fighting one isn't fun, fighting two is boring, whether you're winning or not. Now, when somebody uses something other than Gat/Flak, they're pretty fun to fight.
I just wish they'd lower it's maneuverability. It's super easy to turn and keep the guns focused on a Squid with Phoenix claw. It's even easy to chase a Squid with Kerosene. Taking out a Pyra's engines is also incredibly difficult since the engineer can smack all three of them, take a few steps and quickly repair the hull.
It has WAY more advantages than disadvantages. Sure you can beat a Pyra, even make it look easy, but no other ship has that kind of survivability, adaptation, and ease of use.
RomanKar:
If I know I am taking an inexperienced crew, especially main engi, I'm probably taking a pyri just because it is so easy to assign tasks, and super easy for a noob engi to keep up with.
I think that ease of use is the biggest reason for even experienced captains taking the pyri so often -- they know it is the easiest for unfamiliar crew to handle.

The Pyramidion turns pretty slowly, the problem here is the gatling's wide turning arc, that's why it seems like they are out turning you, when they realy aren't, their guns are.

Like Heavy Gat/Glak galleons and Heavy Gat Flak Spires? xD

Already exists, it's called a Lumberjack / Flak Galleon with a Mercury light.
Granted, such a combo isn't as easy as point and shoot like all the guns on the Pyramidion are.

Yeah but, the Mercury is a slow weapon that is ineffective close range. A Heavy gatling would both out-DPS it and would probably cause even more havoc on enemy guns and even severe perma-hull damage aside from chewing through armor like its nothing.
