Balance ideas for Pyramidion and Junker

(Edit: As a core ship that is, it is still sometimes seen as a support ship)

I think it's pretty hilarious how up until 3 months ago consensus was Junker is op and goldfish is lowest-tier ship along with mobula, and now the community's oppinion have somehow shifted that junker needs a buff and carronade (the most used gun for a goldfish) a nerf. Hilarious truly.

Sammy B. T.:
The Junker is a wonderfully min maxed ship that is either super great in capable hands or underwhelming in average hands. High armor vs low perma and great damage vs horribly vulnerable to disable, just makes it a crazy ship.

Crafeksterty:
Balancing these two ships is very hard.

I rather look at the squid, spire, goldfish some more.
Galleon and Mobula could use a little love. But thhose are pretty balanced allready.


For a first, i want the Squid to be respected, the squid needs a bit of help.
Once all ships are in good tone, then we can look at the incredibly hard to balance ships.

GeoRmr:
Well, junkers have strong hard-counters since the flamer buff and the ship feels pretty balanced all-round imho. (it could perhaps do with a slower turn speed) The one bit of balance I would like to see is a slight armour and turn acceleration increase to the spire. I'm quite happy with all the other ships.

Ayetach:
As far as pyras go I've always been fond of the idea of removing the 'sweet spot' for repairing the main thrust engine from below while handling the turning engines. Because of the longer time it would take the engies to fix all three engines it would force the pilot to have to use their tools more sparingly (i.e. Moonshine, phoenix claw, etc.) and strategically when flying into an engagement.

This might solve the pyras moving or turning too quickly, its debatable sure but if there was any reason to give other ships a level playing field with the pyra then this might be one viable option.
