Goldfish 1.3.3
Devinstater:
I think they should change the default ship to the Pyramidion.
The Goldfish is very hard to finish a kill on your own and communication between ships on the newbie games is very poor. Pyramidion's can seal the deal by themselves more easily.
This is my favourite ship to fly but I have been the least successful on it. Even as a crewman I've never flown on a successful one. It must be fairly tricky to use well.
RearAdmiralZill:
The only time I see the front gun being an issue is when I use my lumberfish (which I have been increasingly doing lately). I've only had one match in it since the patch, and it was against gents so they knew how to aim.
Thing is, you really have to use the goldfish's movement to get a good angle. Then you just keep up the pressure. Even with a lj, you will need to realize your gun will not stay up if the other team decides to aim at it. Getting the angles is pretty key.
Captain Smollett:
Goldfish usually has a spare engineer to help the gunner rebuild the front gun, so it's got that going for it.
I do think however, much like most people in GOI, that more heavy weapons would be lovely, and I certainly wouldn't hate to see another close range skill based heavy weapon.

The Goldfish was the default ship and beginner ship mostly for one reason, the heavy flak cannon. Before it was nerfed it made the fish a great all around ship that was good at range and CQC. I remember taking it when I first started and loving it. Friends would go Hwachafish and they'd just float around never getting kills while I'd tear it up. Then flak got nerfed and the fish just went down the crapper. Just so much of it is tied to the abilities of the bow gun.
Partly one of the minor reasons I thought up the design for the Sky Torpedo. It would be the perfect bow mount for a Goldfish. Give it some real crippling/killing power and strengthen it's utility.
Flak coming back is good, it gives the fish some strength back but it still isn't back to where it was. If its going to be like this then might as well turn the side mounts so it can get bifectas with ease. Its otherwise too weak.
geggis:
Gilder, do you mean heavy carronade? I thought I was the only one who couldn't get out of the habit of calling carronades flaks. I blame Unreal Tournament.
