Goldfish 1.3.3
Spud Nick:
We don't see the Goldfish much in competitive play. Is that because all the other ships can do what the Goldfish does better? Is it because the front gun can be taking down so easily making the ship next to useless? Or is it simply that the Goldfish can not provide what a team needs.
Crafeksterty:
It fulfills mostly as a supportive, disruptive role.
Its the ship that rams a ship that is hurting you teamate. It is quick, it can recover from turns very quickly. Disrupting an enemy to stop him from shooting an ally. Goldfish is the best one out there for that. Just think about how quick the goldfish really recovers from most type of situations.
Add with a good Heavy weapon, you have a playstyle, or use of the goldfish in its own. This is where he is disruptive with its heavy carronade and Hwacha. With pheonix claw, you can easily play with the side guns. I honestly dont know why you would comment on the side gns being too much of a hasstle to use. Use them, dont put a flimsy mortar or anything... i mean you can. You dont need an engineer to use them, the gunner can run and he should. Place something that will stick. Flamer, Mines, Artemis, Banshee, carronade. Something quick and simple. With your weapons in mind, you can create a 1v1 situation for your ally.
With Lumberjack, you can outright suprise ships. Goldfish is very quick and with agility. It can appier from flanking positions in no time.
The goldfish, with tactical tought involved downright can outplay a spire. Or a galleon. You may not kill as well, but you are creating another 1v1 situation or 1v helpless2.
Im just giving out ideas. Whenever im on a goldfish, i feel utterly helpless alone. No matter what gun combination. But with an ally, i seek to hold one down. And make my ally the hero he is. And the goldfish is the best one to do that.
If you want to be a good goldfish, think of it in that way. The sidekick.
Omniraptor:
The question is, why would you want a hero and a sidekick when you can have two heroes?

Because sometimes the hero is Don Quixote and he needs a side kick to keep him from getting himself killed. If I am stuck with a newbie team mate I take a support build. It is better to let "the hero" get some kills, than show how awesome I am at carrying a team. However my support build of choice is the 2x merc Pyramidion. Newbies gravitate towards the flashy explosive weapons so they need someone to strip the hull armor.

Better suited for 1v1 combat, Fills a support role, designed for disabling. I can see why most teams don't bring one. Better to force a 2v1 engagement and focus on raw killing power than to bring a Goldfish and disable some parts.
