Art meta is boring

Lesmok artemis on dunes can be extremely devastating from the southern spawn and is a valid ammo type for the artemis especially if used to counter more artemis sniping ships.
These screen shots are not a representation of actual combat situations where for example I'd expect an artemis pilot to be flying closer to the sky limit rather than the map floor initially, assuming they were then popped by a lumberjack there is an extremely long descent before they manage to loose their arc.
They also do not take into account the fact that your ship would be bouncing slightly higher from the floor that the absolute bottom and would be pitching back due to the captain beginning an ascent.

Sacrilege just won the sunday rumble using double mobulas fully loaded up with lesmok on Battle of the Dunes. We were able to merc/artemis the Gent's mobula from outside their artemis' range.

Ducks have some sort of silly cult belief that only one ammo type works for each light gun and that gunners are useless - idk why huehue =P
It's interesting to note that once within lesmok only range for the artemis, projectile expansion has taken effect giving around the same aoe as burst (something I also encourage you test in sandbox) with less ammo but with a faster rate of fire lesmok artemis is not too far behind dps wise either.
Sammy B. T.:
If you're fighting at a range where you need Lesmok Artemis, you would probably be better suited using Heavy Flaks, Lumberjacks and Mercs. Regardless thats hardly an amazing vertical range and would be difficult shots if you're fighting a moving target or a ship that isn't a spire.

Lesmok artemis at that range is able to disable lumberjacks right up until they're smacking the floor because the artemis can stay in arc for too long, something that wouldn't be a problem because the lj would be disabled, - that's kind of my point (You'd probably put a mercury on there too for good measure any way)
What's easier to land shots, lesmok artemis from a stationary ship at 1800m or heavy flak from a moving galleon at 1800m?
Also, galleons are bigger targets than spires, even if they do move. Tricky shots, but with projectile expansion not too hard imho. Lj fish for an opponent? If they be weaving and dodging enough for your shots to miss, I can tell you that their gunner is not gonna be hitting you.
Edit: Wait a minute, didn't the whole artemis thing piss off a load of gents (and ducks?) because their lumberjack flak use was all in vain against them?
