My issues with this game.

(1/14) > >>

SixSillySins:
You have Captains flying as gunner/Engineer instead of pilots.
You have Engineers that don't know what the hell a Repair cool down timer is. So they'll sit there hitting stuff over and over again thinking they're actually helping.
You have Pilots forgetting to press the '1' key so their abilities aren't running 24/7 "WHY DO THE ENGINES KEEP BREAKING!!" Ummm maybe because you're using moonshine constantly...
You have Engineers that think they're gunners and let the ship die because they were too busy shooting.
You have pilots that don't know where the guns are on the ship. (for example a galleon) They'll fly straight at the enemy instead of to it's side so it's weapons can actually fire at them.

It's a cool game and all but it feels like the only way to have fun is with some friends while you're buzzed. Other wise It's just a headache to play with randoms. :/

Piemanlives:
This seems to be apparent with the recent influx of players due to "Youtube Personalities" namely the yogs cast. If I would recommend a solution I would recommend joining a higher level lobby, you will most likely have a better time, namely because in higher level lobbies more will be expected of you. If you point out you're new people will be willing to help you out if you're willing to learn.

This is an iteration of various posts by different people on threads of the same nature, I do not claim ownership over any and all posts summarized above.

Not all randoms are that bad.  Try moving up from the Beginner games to those where the more experienced players are.. this could of course lead to a new line, "You have beginner players that don't realise that there's more than just beginner matches" ;)

Could be the time of day your playing.  It's the school holidays, there's a large number of new players many of whom are 12-14 years old and are getting frustrated because it's not a nice, easy game they can win by button-bashing.  The steep learning curve that rewards thinking about how you play is what keeps the core players playing.  But it's also a frustration for others.

In the past couple of days - I've been sworn at twice for informing a (different) crew that the top slot gets captains chat and the player should change role or place, while a player in captain role sits in slot 3 shouting "F:ck off I'm the captain!"

If the Captain isn't going to be the one steering (i.e. the pilot is in slot 2-4), I won't join that crew and a I won't join that team as another Captain.  It's just not practical to rely team tactics through an intermediary.  It is possible to use Party chat to get round this, but it's rarely worth the effort.

It's a control thing.. "I want to engineer/gun and I want *this* ship and loadout, but I don't want to fly it and I don't trust anyone enough to ask them to choose the loadout I want."
