If you were a Game Modder.

[MasX]

I would turn the steam ships to space ships

Chris Roberts might have a shipt to sell you.

[GeoRmr]

I would slightly nerf the junkers turn speed and slightly buff the spire's armour.

I would prevent the buff hammer from working on guns, and then add a separate buff hammer that is equipped in an ammo slot that can only buff guns.

I would fix the ladders and the clouds.

I would enable friendly-fire and remove drums and hit-markers.

I would add a third person view for mounted guns and make an indoor map inside a huge cave.

I would remove the range finder from the game.

[Riggatto]

I would add boarding, if for no other reason than to make people angry

[SirNotlag]

probably add lazers and electric guns... those are steam punk right?

[RomanKar]

On the backs of flying dinosaurs.

[obliviondoll]

I would replace all fire with BEES.

Fire extinguisher and chemspray would become fast-acting and long-lasting bugspray.

The crazy things I come up with on the rare days I'm awake at midday... (I'm nocturnal)

[Sammy B. T.]

But why would bees appear in the first place?  The implication for the flamer or incendiary rounds is frightening.

Well, obviously, there's no such thing as a "flamethrower" any more. It's a bee cannon that squirts honey and releases bees along with it.

And incendiary rounds are replaced with beehive rounds, which are, of course, bullets with beehives strapped to them.

Simple.

[Tanya Phenole]

I would make "Ship Control" add-on, that would give the captain information about repair cooldowns and rebuild progress.
I would add meters distance scale to maps, so captains and gunners could know appoximate distance from minimap.

I would add chat patterns for crew loadouts , so new captains could break the shyness and miscommunication barrier easier.

I would add a more post-apocalyptic look to maps we already have.

[HamsterIV]

I would make a miniature level that takes place in a cluttered apartment. The airships would be 6 inches long and they would have to navigate through hallways, around furniture, and the ceiling fan. I got this idea from counterstrike's de_rats custom map. Imagine the captain chat:
"I am taking cover behind the couch"
"I think I saw the squid trying to sneak around the coffee table to the east."
"Regroup with me at the south side of the kitchen"
"Be careful he mined the entrance to the bathroom"

[Richard LeMoon]

Destructible terrain.

[SaintR.L.]

I would most likely go about modding the UI to my heart's content. Creating custom maps and game-mods is something I'd mod if I could too. And don't forget, mod in LAN support so we can finally have private tournaments without all that somewhere through the internet server nonsense.

I think this would be a fantastic idea for April Fools 2015!

In that vein - maps with overhead obstructions, possibly some sort of absolutely massive cave system (complete with stalactites and stalagmites - think putting an upside down canyon ambush on top of the current one) would be great.

Esp if it was poorly lit, so flares would have to be used generously and be more strategic, in place of having clouds for cover.

[Lochiel]

Crazy king would be modded so that points changed after only 1s of capture. Squids and kero are a must, weapons focus would be on damaging enemy engines enough to get a speed advantage.
