RearAdmiralZill:
Engines will always take abuse thanks to pilot tools and lots of tar, lol. I see what you mean though, which will surely be a pain to keep up.

I hope the components aren't spread like that, else I don't see a gunner seeing much use on this boat.

Queso:
I still don't see how this thing stays in the air. All the forces on the top are pushing down thanks to gravity and all the forces on the bottom are pushing up. It should flip itself over. What you would need is a heavy weight hanging down beneath the balloon and that would just weight the whole ship down. http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5213/5450356439_4d252602fd_z.jpg This thing only works because all the actual weight is down at the bottom and the fake basket at the top is probably cardboard.

Captain Smollett:
It's going to be really interesting game mechanic when hitting into the ground damages your balloon and not armor. 

My tactician gears are already turning....

N-Sunderland:
Here are my ideas for builds so far.

Full Brawler

Gatling top left
Gatling top right
Flak lower left
Flak lower right
Banshee centre

The idea here is pretty obvious. There's an enormous angle in which you can land gatflak on the enemy ship, with the banshee adding extra support. I'm assuming that the hull is hidden below deck, which is why the flaks are down below. The gat needs to be firing more often than the flak, so this setup allows the lower gunner to do some hull repairs. It also allows for more trifecta arc.


Alternate Brawler

Lower left flak
Lower right flak
Upper left banshee
Upper right banshee
Centre gatling

The idea here is the same in principle. It's just shifting the use of the gat to the engi who'll be doing less repairs (up top). This allows them to spend more time on the gatling, and they won't have any gun switching to do. Banshees are still there for the trifecta.


Brawler/Utility

Upper left gatling
Lower left flak
Upper right mine launcher
Lower right flare gun
Centre banshee

This one makes only one of the sides be used for fighting with the other meant for utility. Not much else to say.


Sniper

Right side mercs
Left side gatflak
Front Artemis

Simple enough. Mercs and an Artemis for long-range fighting, gatflak when they get close.


I'm not sure if the banshee is the best trifecta gun. With this ship, you'd better be killing as quickly as possible. Maybe an extra flak or gat would do the trick?

It's still small and medium in some places, light and heavy in others... #13

Maybe that's the purpose of the weird "nose" and the big plates hanging down? Anyway, plenty of things already don't make any sense, so something else isn't really a problem 8)
