Alistair MacBain:
Goio isnt supposed to have rock paper scissor balance.
You can take any ship against any other ship and win in theory. Just need to force the correct situation and then execute it correct.
There will always be ships and builds strong against a certain other build but no hard counters ...

RearAdmiralZill:
That theory is fairly skewed in today's GOIO.

The work it takes to win in a squid vs pyra fight for example is anything but balanced, even remotely.

The idea of nerfing claw was never to simply buff a squid. It's for this reason:

Crafeksterty:
But helm tools also enhance their specialties.

Moonshine on pyra
Hydro on Mobula
Kyro on Squid

So really, its just ways to make the ship do what you want it to do. Problem is how they handle, not for a ship in specific cus moonshine does apply to most other ships, and so does hydro. But rather, Claw seems like the most non-special tool, most universal thing to be using, and thus it is used alot.

Because it is so universal, and not special, your always going to choose this as it doesnt really have a consequence other than taking up a slot. It is not special enough for you to want to have something else other than claw as claw makes you generally more effective. There is no incentive to not have Claw because there is more incentive to not have anything else.

Lets Up the damage of the engines coming from claw by 100%, People would still use it, but less actively. It would become special, or in my eyes with sufficient ammount of damage. Were talking about how the pheonix claw is used. No reason to not get it. What we need is a reason to not get it which currently it does not.

Kamoba:
The claw is so powerful I am seeing gunners and engineers take it over spyglass! Apparently even the luck of turning is overpowered.. :)

Arturo Sanchez:
Yeah raising the damage puts its use into good habits you are only meant to be using it in bursts.
