Ship swapping in Lobby before competitive matches
Spud Nick:
On a side note. Mastery of a ship and it's build will give you a better chance at victory than trying to counter your opponent.

What is the weakness of selecting the stronger ship combination?

Ships run less smoothly if the crew doesn't run it like a well-oiled machine, which is not to be expected if it's not properly trained before. Different ships and loadouts often require a significantly different playstyle and positioning. The less a ship-combination is flown together the more pilot-miscommunications and positioning errors occur.
Spud Nick:
I think you lose a lot of damage from your build when you try to counter as well. Most of the counter builds seem to favor disabling in order to get the advantage over the other ships.

Junkers as demonstrated by the Mandarins easily counter pyras.
Though very much out of favor these days, one single well crewed asymmetrical Galleon with a coordinated escort ship like the Paddling used to run will rip to pieces a gat mortar pyra. It's been a long time since I've played competitively but when I did I pretty much always saw pyras as easy Galleon kills and picked on any pyras we faced to win matches.

I've always seen pyramidions as easy targets too. Too bad that everyone in the haephestus challenge seems to be scared to use anything but pyras.
