I really don't even see this game in 2 years having nobody to play with; What we have here is a community of players who all Enjoy or dare I say LOVE! The current game; Myself including in the Love part.
But what I'm trying to get at is that this game is still being updated and continuously improving itself (Adventure Mode) Is the next example. To myself somebody who greatly enjoys the whole Concept of being an actual crew on a ship instead of being the ship it's fun. Granted I still play other games but are you going to tell me that you play one game and ONLY one game at a time and don't get bored?
I have a healthy cycle of games I enjoy to play for the simple reason I don't get burned out or bored of the game. GoI is a great game to jump on and just fly with :P I also love the music :D!
Sorry if that seemed kind of rant-ish; that's just my personal opinion on this matter :)

And i didn't do alright, I was a second gunner who babysitted a side gun half the match, then left to get my wits together in sandbox, and I'm not 9, though I sound like it.

Then it wasn't you, the kid I was talking about explicitly said that he was 9 when asked in the lobby. :)

I'm of the opinion you should be at least 15 to be allowed on the internet.
Now I just need to get my dictatorship off the ground... anyone know some cheap island nations?

As one of those may players, and someone who hasnt played for a month but just came back to see if there's an update, I had a few reasons why I stopped playing
1- lobbies. Most games you just jump into the action, but this game has a lot of downtime where you have to wait for that last 4th player, or wait for a pilot, or play with/against AI which is not fun to me, I like to play with/beat other ships with real people.
2- variety of gameplay. i got really tired of having to play engineer 90% of the time. pilot is usually reserved for older players, gunners are usually limited to 1 and then the pilot asks you to switch to engy. Also got tired of playing on pyramidions, and when I did get to play on a cool ship like squid we always lost. this lack of variety has mostly to do with balance of ships/classes/guns
--> If there were more classes (which I dont think is planned) or even sub-classes (Co-Pilot, Main Engineer, Associate Engineer, Main Gunner, Associate Gunner) and those classes had distinct sub-roles then itd be more fun
3- no social aspect. should really have an integrated clan feature. this game is really meant to be played with friends, then it gets really fun. if you're running solo, ur gonna get tired of it quickly. and thats what happened to most may players

I guess this really depends on when you're playing. I don't mind waiting. I tend to chat or alt-tab while waiting for the game to start. This is a fair point though, there is a bit more downtime than typical.

Balance is rough. I've actually found a large amount of room to experiment with different play styles/weapons.
Engineers can gun almost as good as gunners for most ship/guns. Two gunners... well, you might die a lot. I take enough damage that having two engineers is far more useful. That's just the way it is. You could always try asking people for a turn in a role.

Yeah, Pyrs are easy, but not teh best ship. At least at the level I play at, each ship has it's own role and is useful/fun. Ship choice doesn't lose you the match usually.

But what would they do? Why would you need them? This seems like an over complication that wouldn't make the game easier. Plus it's hard enough to get four good people on a ship. What would a co-pilot even do!? (Jesus take the wheel!)

WOAH. False. False false false.
This is something you have to kind of be active about, but I play with an awesome clan. We chat and hang out, and I talked to them and played with them a bit even before joining the actual clan. I have lots of friends across the clans, and enjoy playing and talking to all of them.
You've got to put yourself out there man.
