Veryance:
hi everyone,
I bought this game on the steam sale for myself and a bunch of my friends, and we think it's awesome. However, we've noticed that there seem to be a few ships that are flown much more often compared to others. There are the pyramidion, goldfish, and the junker. I really enjoy the diversity of the ships in the game, but I'm wondering why there is a preponderance of those 3 compared to the others.

Captain Smollett:
Those are the best brawling ships in the game, as in charge the enemy and duke it out close range.

Most of the other ships are much harder to use at brawling ranges.

Galleon is amazing at mid to long range and with some builds at close range however it takes an extremely good crew to pull it off.

Squid has a very high captain skill requirement to brawl with effectively and requires quite a bit of coordination from the crew as well.

People are still figuring out the mobula since it's new and a bit tricky to get the crew coordinated.  I think eventually you'll start seeing these more frequently.

The Spire is currently a bit underpowered and very tough to crew on to boot.  Likely to get a small buff soon.

Imagine:

Ease of use. Other ships have their purposes, but those are generally the ships people start with, and are still highly effective. Also, I think ship choices are locked to just those if you're in beginner's matches so there's that.

Echoez:
Generaly, these ships have the lowest skill floor in the game, you will start seeing other ships after you get out of 1-3 matches and play for some time, but in general these three are always there most of the time because they still have a high skill ceiling to master but relatively easy to just get onto and play half decently even if you're not very experienced.

If he's seeing junkers he's already out of beginner matches. They're now limited to just pyra and goldfish.
