These have mostly all been great replies, I usually run with between 3 and 7 of my group, and we seem to have fantastic communication. The only problem is, we all don't have time to wait around for these "high level" matches you speak of. I can't even hardly find one 50% of the time. So we generally just queue up or create a match and whoever joins we play. I usually run squid when I have all 8 but recently I've changed over towards the junker since most of my group is getting bored of the game for mostly the same reasons I am.
I know it's not possible the change the game ONLY for the low leveled players, but if you think about it, when the low leveled players are 80-90% of the players, and when 80-90% of THOSE players are running nothing but a single ship, it stands to reason that something needs to be changed about THAT ship, to make the lower level play more varied and interesting, so people don't just quit outright thinking there's only one ship in the game that's good.
I know for a fact that other ships are good and can be used as such, but not EVERYONE plays with a full group like myself with good communication and teamwork.
The point is, the pyramidion needs something done to it to maintain it's current state in high level play, where it's just a slightly above average ship, yet make it not see as much play in the lower level brackets simply due to it being so easy to use and the flaws so easy to cover up.
Either that, or other ships need help to look more appealing in the eyes of the newer player.
