Aboard a Goldfish
Enjix:
Just felt like adding to the goldfish jumping fun, but you can jump on the left turning engine and squeeze though gap between the armor plating and the staircase. It shaves 2 seconds off the run from turning engines to main engine, but it's unfortunately so glitchy that it only works half the time.
QKO:
I know this guide is old, but I do not agree with the loadout presented. I also recommend giving multiple loadouts and explain them instead of expecting to give just one cookie cutter. With the layout you present you are severely lacking in explosive damage. You have put 2 shotguns on the ship and one gatling, that means the primary form of damage is a gigantic amount of flachette + some piercing. The heavy carronade can destroy a hull on its own, so rather than putting on a chaingun, I recommend putting on an artemis, flak or mortar depending on what your priorities are. At the same time, the light carronade doesn't really add to the goldfish' abilities, so I would put a flare, minelauncher or flamethrower on it.
Alternative builds ->
Front: Hwacha,
Port: utility weapon/Carronade
Starboard: Chaingun/Carronade
Front: Lumberjack
Port: Carronade
Starboard: Mortar
Front: Flak
Port: Carronade
Starboard: utility weapon/Mortar

Back when it was written the Beacon wasn't used and the Phobos and Lumberjack didn't even exist, if I remember that right :D But yes, I agree with you! I'm currently working on the Guides for Pyramidion, Mobula and Galleon to have them done for the Community Guide, but once those are here I'll update the Junker, Goldfish and Spire guides to work all the suggestions in - including yours here, thank you!

The lumberjack existed at that point, and it was already a couple months old. It just wasn't very popular.

Seriously? Hmmm. I definitely won't write the timeline for the Guide :P
