That happened to me a couple of weeks ago and I blame my ISP :/
Riggatto:
It's always the other teams fault, if they hadn't won, we wouldn't have lost
Andika:
I too always blame the enemy for having shot at us. I mean, why? We could've just met at the center and waved at each other, but no, they started the dakadaka. We ain't never not started it, no, it's always them. :'(
Crafeksterty:
I always do preperations an be as obvious as possible for my crew to do what makes the build and the ship as effective as possible. Sometimes i understand if a crew lacks the skill requierment, and sometimes in my mind i question the crews skill.
For example, i have a bunch of mid level crew (2-5)
I give them crew loadout info which actualy does not matter for the build to be most effective on pub matches. But i ask it anyway to see if they listen or not.
On the ship i give further instructions and make clear about it. Usualy on the spire. On the spire when i have a double Gat build, i explain them "For both the engineers, when i say DOUBLE GAT i want you gunning for a gattling gun and shooting the enemy ships hull. So remember the phrase Double Gat. Alright?"
I even give them a warning "Ok, were gonna Double Gat soon"
And if they gat before, or at double gat. I then know that the rest is up to me to fulfill.
But most of times, i see an engineer just having to finish buffing the hull, or repairing something that is not a gattling and getting too late for a gattling gun.
"I need the double Gattling guns firing!" I say. "Sorry, i just had to X" they reply.
So as a commander/Pilot, i do everything i can to honestly not blame myself to indetify what resources i actually have so that in the end i can identify MY mistakes and what is going on in the battlefield instead of being flustered about my ships power.
So after loosing, i tend to blame myself just to make the crew comfortable. But sometimes i secretly blame the crew.
However, i happen to blame my teamate more these days as ive gotten good streek of good crew just an ally that does not know how to fly.
TL;DR Depends on the situation, because i try my best to know exactly at what power i am so i dont blame others and myself, because when i do have a weaker crew, i tend to play safer and have a ship/build that works for the crew.
Lines:
I've always held the philosophy that losing is fine, as long as we learned why we lost.
In fact, I go as far to say I abhor the thought of micromanaging my crew to the point that they don't make mistakes to learn from. I give instructions and narrate my cunning plans, but anyone who has flown with me will know that most of our chat is either nonsense, sing alongs or my amazing Gollum impressions. You're allowed to do things wrong, because thats a step towards doing things right.
The only matches I've gotten to the end and thought "That was a bad match" was when the opponent team has left, leaving only a few stragglers to stomp.
