Goldfish 1.3.3
Crafeksterty:
Many times have i been on matches with 2 ships really good at killing. But then one of us gets disabled.
Most killer weapons that dont support much need another gun to compliment the other out and do a combo. Gat mort is a good example.
Then you have weapons that can do stuff alone. Like Carronade, Flamer, Mines etc.
How the guns placed on the goldfish makes it so that every gun is some sort of support. A gattling on the side can be that extra armor braker for your teamate.
The flamer will not almost ever be complimented with another gun on a goldfish.
That is why the goldfish is as said, very full of agility. How the ship flies makes using guns much easier. It recovers quicker than other ships and lasts longer than other ships for it to be helped, and come back to help quicker.
Now have that in mind, suddenly. 2 Killing ships are up against 1 killing and one support. The support disables one killing. The supports ally fights with the other killing. If the support is focused by the un-disabled killing ship, he will survive it and the ally killing ship will have no trouble killing THAT. But if Both from the start focus the support ship, the ally killing ship from the get go will have an open approach against one of the killing ship. The goldfish support ship is going to get damaged, but ultimately he will disable one and Chute/Hydro/Kyrosine away from fire because of its survivability.
Easier said than done. Just talking about the goldfish like this makes me wanna go back to it.
Spud Nick:
You could just disable the front gun on the Goldfish and focus on his friend. It seems like most of the tactics that involve the Goldfish relies on him disabling one ship so you can focus down the other. That or force a 1v1 situation where the Goldfish can lock down a single ship and kill it.
Captain Smollett:
Remember when everyone thought the carronade was op and people regularly stomped in pubs with the Goldfish?
Currently artemis are meta and slightly overpowered, leaving many to look past the goldfish as a ship choice. Also there are few really good close range heavy weapon options for the goldfish.
Artemis changes are currently being considered, the only thing left that we really need is a new close range high powered heavy weapon.
Spud Nick:
Anybody else notice that the Spire and the Goldfish have the same amount of armor? I find this a little odd seeing how the Spire is designed to be a glass cannon. Do you guys think the Goldfish should have more armor than the spire?
macmacnick:
The spire is a glass cannon — the hull goes down quickly, and then it dies quickly due to its smaller permahull pool, especially with the balloon being popped, whereas the goldie can stand that for a while, and usually bounces more when its hull and balloon are down and it hits the ground.
