Realism has had it's fun...

I think the reason this game doesn't retain players well is because it is 100% reliant on working together with other people. They don't like that.

I think that's fairly right. To elaborate, the focus on cooperation, tactics and teamwork necessitates longer lobbies and a slower pace of match as well as meaning that no individual can gain the satisfaction of claiming sole responsibility for some skilled move, because any truly skilled move is achieved by working together with the other 7+ members of the team. I don't think adjusting ship handling could ever really change that; anything that could be done to retain the impatient FPS crowd would destroy the character of the game and isn't really relevant to this discussion imo.
I think this should be approached from the perspective of what creates a fun and satisfying flow of matches and gamebalance, not ideas about fundamentally altering the base appeal of the game.
Imagine:
The thing is, most people have gamer ADD. Everyone is always moving onto the next biggest thing, hell, it's something that I did with this game. I liked it quite a lot, played for like a month or so back in December of '12... and then I didn't play for like 6 months. Didn't have anything to do with balance, didn't have anything to do with relying on others, I just moved onto playing other stuff.
Yes, I returned, but most others won't. And there's nothing to blame for that, that's just how most people do.

I joined up via pewdiepie's video. Soo.. er..
I'm still here.. just saying.
Captain Smollett:
This game has more players on avg after the ship mass changes and gat mortar changes than before it.
But honestly it is irrelevant to the debate.
One person's fun is another person's torment (I'm looking at you shopping).
In a debate about what is fun, there is no correct or incorrect side, no tangible arguments and no side that can win. It's just opinion. Feel free to state an opinion but know that it will be only that, and unlikely to sway anyone else to change their held beliefs.
