making the pyra more nimble would help a LOT... or bringing it's ram back...(but let's be honest you don't like ramming as a weapon very much)

I'm perfectly fine with ramming... now that approaches are trickier.

Well I do remember them collecting and revealing some of that information during the beta period. I'm certain they still collect it, but asking for it repeatedly won't help. For the most part, it's completely unnecessary in this discussion.
As for the match Dragonmere mentioned, it was a gat/mortar front combo with a lovely little flamer/carronade on the left side. A pretty standard old school brawler. And the gatling may not have singlehandedly stripped the armor, but I believe that was part of the intention of the patch. The gat was just ridiculously powerful at stripping armor and keeping it down. Now it still does a great deal of damage, but has a harder time setting up those near instant kills. You have to get a little creative and use some other damage types to help get the armor down. Explosive weapons cause ships to go down alarmingly fast, so making it a little trickier to take out the armor leads to more interesting matches, relying to better teamwork on your ship and with your allies.
(I can see about uploading the video of that match if anyone is interested)

ramming was always cool... so long as it doesn't take just a single ram as it did 2 months ago. Pyramidion was a fatty and had the mass to take most ships armor and good chunk of hull out without firing a single round.
This would have made this patch a disaster but I was also planning to nerf piercing vs. armor to make armor killing a little longer to create those more interesting approaches. Thank goodness Dev App users strongly suggested otherwise.
