No... I promise you, that is not how that works

Ah... so, because all flakfish was mention, so i'll pass it.

Now... meet lvl 4 pilot with double javelin up front and moonshine\bumpers\spyglass (what with this tool anyway?)

So he was talking and talking, about how his ship manage to ram into pieces an galleon with this build someday... just to be ram-killed by squid in game and leaving it right next after his unfortunate death.

Mobulas are the tank of the game.

I flew on a pyramid with double front Gatling, double side mortar.  Could've worked in theory but against a hardcore flame squid?  Not a chance.

Stranger things have been tried.

"Why would I change? This ship always wins." pilot of a flamer/flak front Pyra.... who ragequit halfway through the resulting match.

"I know what I'm doing!!" - every low lvl pilot who ragequits mid-match

Double gat is a reasonable threat to a squid especially if you can chew off an engine or two. The mortars are just a wasted opportunity unless the enemy's engineers are asleep.

Double gatling pyra with some moonshine (and maybe impact bumpers?) and good ramming can be pretty fine choice sometimes.

I completely disagree. Double gat is an absurd choice to fight a ship with next to no armour and tonnes of permahull. It's not hard to time mortars to land on the hull, especially since the armour will be going down every 2 seconds.

[pandatopia]

VS squid is actually one of the (few) times where you want the mortar shooting constantly, even while the gat is still shooting and the armor is up - it can bring armor down by itself and further if you wait for the hull to down many times you will get fewer mortar hits in.

[PixelatedVolume]

There was no ramming, and our engineers didn't understand the concept of proper stations.
 

[sparklerfish]

Two words....

lochnagar flares  >_<

[PixelatedVolume]

If you can hit it

[Alistair MacBain]

Its still wasted.

[sparklerfish]

Flares do 10 direct and 5 AoE damage, I think.  Lochnagar adds a negligible amount of damage to those tiny numbers.

10 fire stacks are still 10 fire stacks.

All you're accomplishing is giving yourself 1 less shot and having to rebuid your gun in between.  -_-
