Very true. Back when Muse wanted to buff disabling, they increased rebuild time on engines and guns without touching the actual health. There isn't strictly the same connection that we see with armour and hull rebuild time.
The Djinn:
Crazy thought: what if the Squid had a second light gun on the starboard pontoon, but both were rotated with, say, a 45 degree angle towards fore and aft, respectively? This would allow for more weapon combinations, but still never more than 2 guns on a target unless you were brushing up directly next to them and could afford to pull engineers away from repair duty.
It would definitely be a huge (and unusual) change, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to throw some crazy ideas into the mix. The addition of a seperate aft bifecta might also encourage the crazy reverse piloting and crazy positioning that I love about the Squid.
Thoughts? And yes...I am aware this idea might be ridiculous and have no actual merit. I just feel balance discussions can sometimes benefit from highly unusual suggestions and the insights discussions about those suggestions can bring to the table.
Serenum:
More vertical acceleration is all the Squid needs.
Dementio:
I don't like the idea of changing gun arcs or changing gun positions on the Squid. It's a fast ship and with the constant damage on armor and engines you can't always use two guns at the same time during combat anyway.
I fear, if this were to happen, people would just sit in front of their target and use the most boring combinations the game has to offer (e.g.: gat/mortar). If you wanna use gat/mortar just turn and have an engi ready, if not, go away and come again another day. The Squid is no brawler, the low hull armor makes sure of that.
However, since it's so low it's armor is that low, I do believe that increasing the maneuverability, may it be verticle or horizontal, is good way to increase the number of squids on the battlefield, especially with all that phoenix clawing...

What's next? the speed of Light Squid?
