The Real Goldfish Fix
Omniraptor:
I really don't think blenderfish needs a buff like that. Simply decreasing the number of strikes needed to rebuild would be a lot easier, provide more resilience from any angle, and my pretty ship wouldn't develop a protruding lower lip.
Mysterious Medic:
Making heavy guns have shorter rebuild times would make the goldfish problem a multifaceted balance issue for all heavy weapon ships so I think the devs would say no thanks to that, they're comfortable with the balance on heavy/mid weapons I think. No, this is specifically a goldfish problem, so I think it needs a specific fix. Who says if needs to be ugly?
Deltajugg:
This may or may not be a good idea, all depends on how effective a blenderfish will be. All things considered, it's not hard for a balloon popping ship to stay above the enemy, so the question is how much cover can a front gun have for it to be effective, but at the same time not overpowered for a carrofish.
If that won't work as one can hope for, I think that another step could be making goldfish a semi-bifecta ship. Slightly setting ONE of the guns under the right angle so the side gun and front gun could cross-fire in a small, even minimal arc, similar to current Squid bifecta, but with more firepower, as I believe Goldfish should have just for the very reason it has a heavy gun on the front. This grants it enough firepower to be considered a threat, but not enough to be overpowered like it would be with a trifecta people used to propose.
GeoRmr:
The only thing is, I'm pretty sure a bifecta is already possible with some guns on a goldfish. My only concern is how would muse actually implement shielding for the front gun, are we hoping for a change in the goldfish moddle and mesh, or just an adjustment to its hit box?

do not let this thread turn into a "turning arcs" thread... we have already done that thread.... as much as i am for turning the arcs this thread was started specifically to get away from that line of discussion.

totally agree. a small curved piece of hull does not need to look ugly. in-fact if you simply slid the gun emplacement back a few feet it would accomplish the same goal.
