Pilots?
Ofiach:
I love playing the game for the challenge, so piloting is my favorite roll. It really is, weapon arcs, countering enemy maneuvers, crew management, overall tactics, etc etc.
When I'm flying against new pilots though it isn't as fun so I switch crews and give the newer pilots tips on how to beat the team that just slaughtered them. It's so gratifying seeing the development!
@Squash Flying a squid as your first ship against COGS level pilots.... ummm yeah no. Not the easiest ship to fly period and definitely not under those circumstances.
Squash:
Of course it's the easiest to fly, what's easier than a squid?
Coldcurse:
how do you mean pilots are rare, i once had a full game of pilots.
i mean every ship only contained pilots.

Oh thats probably the funniest thing I've seen today. lol
A level 1 pilot in a squid = gunner fodder. There is no way they have the experience or knowledge of handling a squid and being effective with it. 90% of the time I see one they try to either..ram with it, sit in front of guns with it, or load it out with the most awful loadouts I've ever seen in game. Then they go on rants about how much the squid sucks. I started to think the same till I really spent time with it. Course part of it is it takes a good crew to keep it up. Lot of lowbies have no concept of the proper tool or class equipment to use with it.
Its a lot of heavy evasion flying with highly responsive movements and what Muse did to the game in 1.2 heavily hindered that. If they don't fix it with 1.3 I'm gonna be pretty ticked. Flying the other ships gets boring. Just no thrill in flying bricks with balloons or turret factories.
Squash:
Sure, but the question stands, what ship is easier to fly? I can't think of one.
