I have strict role assignments on every ship I pilot... do other players not do this?

I do as long as I'm playing with decent people, but when I get paired with random people who are all engineers who do nothing but shoot and refuse to repair...it becomes enraging to play the game. I can't tell you how many times I as pilot have had to repair everything while the ship just flys on it's own.

I think he means that the Pyra's roles are easier to explain and enforce. "You stay on the deck, you two get up on the catwalk and shoot" is easier to understand for a new player than "You sort of hover around the front of the ship, you hover around the middle (except when in combat, then you go to the side) and you sit on this tiny spot that will give you the optimal repair zone."

That's what I mean. Especially the engineering aspect requires more situational awareness on other ships. The only "hard" role on a pyra is taking care of the maindeck, imo.

1 vs 1 encounters happen frequently

I just want to chime in to defend my beloved ship. If there were stats on which ships you fly, I would imagine I'm easily 90%+ Pyramidion. I love it's ease of teaching new players, and it's outright deadly ability in capable hands. You say Pyra is overused/OP/no fun. I say I want Pyramidion pajamas, boxers, matching bed-sheets, and a Pyramidion model in a bottle to display proudly above my fireplace. Too much Pyramidion? There is no such thing. There can never be enough Pyramidion.
Pyramidion is to GoIO as Ken/Ryu is to Street Fighter. It's not OP, it's just the go-to in the game, and it doesn't mean that other characters/ships can't counter it. I've been playing as Ryu/Ken since about 1992, and I'll never get tired of that either. I hope to someday have accumulated a similar 20+ years behind the wheel of a Pyramidion.

I spend a good amount of team each game during the pregame lobby setting positions. Everyone knows which guns and components they're responsible for in which situations. I then call crew members by name when posts need attention and chastise them when they leave their posts. Eventually everyone learns to trust one another allowing all stations to be manned and increasing the efficiency of the ship substantially.
