You are aware about the Captain Chat on the "C" key, correct? It allows the captains to use an exclusive voice channel that noone else can hear. This is where coordination between captains comes from.

Nope, I didn't know that. Maybe that should be stated more obviously instead of just listing the various keys that enable chat. I've just been hitting random ones (usually X).
HamsterIV:
The Commander and Crew chat buttons are listed at the bottom left of the gameplay screen in small brown lettering. It is very easy to miss and you are not the first to not see it.
GOI can be very frustrating at times especially if your current batch of miscreants (crew) are just not living up to your expectations. Once you get a crew to work together the highs far out weigh the lows IMO. It is not for everyone and like Shink said I am glad you gave it a try.

I would have to say that it is almost always the case that you will not enjoy a game you really don't understand how to play. These days, it doesn't take much to understand the basics of most games. Guns of Icarus, however, is a different type of game, with little to no similarity to other games around.
The best advice I can give is to get out of beginner games because there is no one in there that is experienced and get into a game with some people with numbers higher than 2 next to their name, tell them you are new and want to learn. I am certain that someone will be more than willing to show you the ropes, answer all your questions, and lead you down the right paths.
To me, it sounded like it wasn't the game that wasn't fun, but that you were frustrated at not really being able to play the actual game. If this game isn't your cup of tea, so to speak, that is fine. This game isn't for everyone. But I would really hate to lose a player that actually might enjoy the game simply because they had a bad experience and was frustrated before they even really played the game like it was meant to be played.
My in game name is RomanKar, anyone who would like some advice or direction, please feel free to hit me up in game, or even join in a game of mine. I'd be more than happy to help anyone who wants to enjoy and get the most out of this game.

I understand the game just fine. I'm proud of the ships that I've built after testing out their weapons in practice mode a lot to find the ones that kill the fastest. I've had success in maneuvering my ship as a pilot. I've really invested into learning this game and know it well for the short time that I've played. I've tried the advanced groups and must honestly say that I actually enjoyed the beginner ones more. The game is simply frustrating, whether its avoiding crashing in hard maps or tolerating a captain and crew who randomly don't care how they play.
RomanKar:
Not crashing into things takes practice. And I do understand the frustration with bad crew/ other pilots. It does take some time to develop the contacts/friends list that makes for more enjoyable games.
I can't even say, early on, how much I cursed the architecture. Yelling and screaming about the terrible terrain. Then I learned that there are more than 2 settings for the throttle (full ahead, full reverse). Sometimes, Off, is the best position to be in. And I still manage to run into stuff, throwing my guns off target, damaging my hull, and leading to my death. I find it to be part of the challenge.
All I can say is, practice. Play more games. Fly more. You will get better. Piloting is not something you will pick up overnight. But even if you become a great pilot, you will still run into things, just watch the vids from the tourneys, those guys still run into things.
