Buff the Junker
Dev Bubbles:
Greetings everyone! Making a guest appearance on the forum :D
And I want to just chime in from my own point of view, as a player (an average pilot).
On the junker, I'm a bit torn, as I feel that in certain situations, it's pretty awesome. And if I'm not totally retarded, it's the 1 ship that can get 3 guns on a target at the same time. But the slowness of speed does limit it in mid to short range combat.
On the pyra, I'm unofficially making a claim that it is the easiest ship for new players, so I'm not surprised at all that it is more in use at the moment. However, I agree with Pickle and Zill in that it is far from OP. I still prefer my galleon, but I just need to bribe Ataris, Vasylko, CFG, or Rethburn to crew with me as my gunner. I'm not too picky.
Pickle:
I'l disagree on the Pyra as the best for new players - I find that the Goldfish is better if you're playing a match with new players, and the Junker is better for teaching in Sandbox.
Helmic:
I have a much easier time getting three guns to bear on a Pyra than on a Junker. All I have to do is turn slightly to the right side of my target and they're simultaneously set on fire, have their hull down, and are taking direct hull damage. The Junker is NOT the only ship that can get three guns on a single target, and I'd argue that it's harder since it has to move laterally from its target while the Pyramidion can more or less face forward.

You guys are missing something obvious.
The best ship at getting three guns on one target...
...is the Galleon.

Even a squid can get three guns on one target. Approach a galleons port side and carefully stop in the dead centre hugging the galleon;- gatlings on two ends can now hit the Galleon and you have your starboard gun.
