The thing about it is that you can't force someone to use a different ship if they don't want to, the only real suggestion I would have would be to join higher level lobbies and see how that goes for you, mind you even there people fly pyra's but yeah. The thing about the pyra, and you've probably noticed this, is that it is easy to engineer on, therefore making it slightly more durable, and yes while it turns like a barge, it is still a fairly effective vessel, mainly because it is a vessel that focuses on it's frontal armaments, effectivly making it a "Point in general direction shoot." Fact of the matter is if someone wants to use x vessel then by all means they can use x vessel, doesn't mean it'll work for them.
