Yes I do think the 2engy+1gunner set in stone for every ship = lack of variety. you even stated I might as well find another ship or another game if there's already a gunner. There is definitely a lack of variety of ships as you cannot play a game without seeing a pyra, but you can definitely go without seeing a squid. As for guns, well hwacha/flak/gatling are very very popular. I'm not saying the others are inbalanced (as others are harder to shoot) but like I said, lack of variety

Actually a lot of ships will run 3-Engi, while ships with heavy guns will want at least one Gunner on them so there's that. Variety in ships comes with experience, less experienced pilots will mostly try piloting ships that are pretty straight forward, the Pyramidion being a great example, just point and shoot at the enemy, so that might be one of the problems, if you play a lot of DM do not expect to see many Squids as they are not realy fit for DMing other ships and while possible, maily achievable if the captain has a lot of exprience and is playing against lesser opponents.
Other than that, I have seen many Junkers, Goldfishes, Galleons, heck even some Spires on the matches I have played so far, is the Pyra being realy popular that bad of a thing?
Only thing that I believe need something more about it is the Spire and maybe then you'll see more of these.
Ofiach:
IMO the game will last if its community is diverse. I built the Falconeers from scratch and alot of the guys say the only reason they still play is because they can hop on any time and play with people they like and know.
So finding a clan or building one of your own is probably the best way to keep people interested. Rather than being stomped or slaughtering in every match you can balance it out between clan teams and have great battles.

Clans do provide certain "quality-check", but it is not failproof.
I think "Education Clan" would be something worth researching in GoIO. I mean, I'd want a few matches where both we and the enemy were under the tutelage of someone well-versed in the game. it shouldn't be restricting, though, and the people could be in another clans, too.

Have you ever tried the Training Days? https://gunsoficarus.com/community/forum/index.php/board,35.0.html
Ofiach:
I kinda run a stream for teaching new players almost every day twitch.tv/ofiach. It's there to let players learn from my flying (or crashing) and along with training days and CA help there really is no excuse for new players who actually try to learn. I learned almost everything from the forums, I'm giving people a video to watch and the ability to ask questions in real time. I mean maybe it isn't flawless I'm not the best pilot ever but its a tool that I didn't have and all you have to do is go to a website and type in some questions.
