Possible Change to Squid

<< < (3/4) > >>

Old Nemrod:
If anything, I would LOVE if the squid had an option of which side you want your broadside gun. Might be just the way I fly, but many times lining up the bifecta on the right side against a moving target trying to turn into me, exposes me.

I'd really be interested to see no rear gun and dual broadside. Not too serious on this idea, but would love to see what ripples that build would have with the community.

MasX:
I would love this easier to park behind a ship and just destroy it   I use mortar front flame side

Zenark:
Although I love the idea of giving a Squid better brawling capabilities, I have to stick with the current setup. If I'm able to get behind a target, I can get the bifecta easy enough (depends on my loadout), but I often have to fight a ship trying its absolute hardest to make sure I don't get to their blindside, meaning I have to circle them at all sorts of angles. Having all the weapons at right angles gives me an almost 180° firing arc on the starboard side, meaning that my gunner can keep the pressure on the target and I don't have to worry about his arc; I can focus on piloting and getting to a better position.

I haven't used the rear gun for a bifecta since the Phobos came out >:D but having that option is nice.

Keon:
My goal isn't to make the squid viable for Zenark or Mas-X, etc. It's to make it viable for that level 3 pilot. (no not me shuddup. I can fly a good gatmortar squid already.)

But yeah, point taken. I see what you all mean with the thing.

Captain Smollett:
I actually flew with a really good level 2 Squid pilot about  a week and a half ago, so there are definitely some people that are picking it up quickly.

That being said the Squid is one of the few ships that can start an engagement on the front side of a pyra and still dominate it, because it can quickly become not on the pyras front side, especially for the captains that take artemis or flamers due to their ability to damage the pyras engines.
