New gun: no gun
JaegerDelta:
i know this problem must exist because people keep bringing it up on the forums, but i seriously dont run into these kinds of players all that often, certainly not enough to call it a problem.
are you being abrasive to new players that join your ship? you cant expect them to instantly understand everything ever and do it perfectly; you have to take a little time to explain what they should be doing and the reasons for them doing that. explaining the reasons and mechanics behind what they are doing is very important, it is not a hard game to learn it is just different and people need some time to adjust. you cant just order people around because you are some imaginary captain, it wont work. treat people like they are people and they will be able to function as a crew member 9 times out of 10. Frankly, i think the novice matches did alot of damage to the GoI:O community as a whole. Before novice matches most players were understanding of inexperience and not hostile to someone who clearly has never played the game before or has played very little, but that is a discussion for another thread.
that being said occasionally you do run into someone who despite everything will be a dedicated pain in the ass. but that is true of all online games and is a symptom of the platform not the playerbase.

I run into the problem of gunners shooting flares when they join during the match, not in the lobby. I tell engineers to not shoot the flares while there are repairs, and to not focus on repairing them but it doesn't always work. About a week ago I left a game because players joined during the match and only shot the flares. Once I was on an AI spire and a gunner joined and only shot the flare. Often when newer players join in during the match they immediately get on the flares and start shooting.
Trolling is unavoidable and I was joking about not having a gun, although it would be very useful for me. I like side flares because of the wide arc and fast turning and that the main engi can quickly set 20 fire stacks.
Ultimate Pheer:
W-why would a Gunner stick themselves on the Flare and not shoot ANYTHING else?
Removing a gun wouldn't help, because those players are bad.
BlackenedPies:
Fair question Pheer.
Removing guns would solve the problem of not using the right guns and it would increase engineer efficiency.

God, this game must be boring the way that you play it. Pyramidion. Two guns only. I wonder which two front guns you use........
