Pilots?
Coldcurse:
the pyramideon is easy to fly since you only have to fly towards your target with a gat/flag combination.
only problem is that you dont want to show your right side to the enemy since there are no guns on that side.
Squash:
Right but the Pyramidion is slow and has a hard time turning, it's also very heavy, and it's the only ship that obstructs its own gun arcs. It has a big metal nose and ropes that block shots if you're not pointing the ship in exactly the right way, and also going from side to front guns isn't a cakewalk, I think the Pyramidion is definitely a much more challenging ship to fly than a squid.
A squid is much much faster, turns better, it's lighter, elevates and drops faster and doesn't obstruct any shooting angles. A pyramidion also has only 180 degrees covered by guns, whereas a squid has 270 degrees covered.

the question was, what ship is the easiest to fly.
i am not looking at all the details for the whole crew, im looking at what ship would be the easiest to fly by a new pilot.
since the pyramidion has front guns you can just fly towards your enemy instead of boardsiding like a junker.
it might turn slow but that can be fixed by phoenix claw.
it indeed obstructs your shots if your not flying straight towards your enemy.
the ship can change from close/medium ranged combat to long range by just using the left side on the ship.
the squid cant have 2 snipers since it needs to be fast and quick and that ruins your long range shots.
Ofiach:
The squid IMO is the hardest the ship to fly because well.... easy way out here, you don't see it in competition. that should say it all.
It's fun to fly once you know how but it is most definitely not "easy" to fly.
Coldcurse:
the squid is fast but "squashy", easy to take down.
as a squid you need to move around all the time and dont stay at the same spot unless nobody is around.
because it needs to be fast and fly around the enemy its not a good ship in canyon ambush, this is because of the limited space of the map.
