Junker viability and builds
Alistair MacBain:
Well you should be able to out damage the pyra with your junker.
The junker has more armor thus is tankier and can survive a gatclip longer.
And it has a rather hard to hit hull compared to a pyra.
I agree for gallis or sth else but not for pyra. Only thing to keep in mind is not get rammed.

This. So much this.
Baron Saturday:
I'm actually curious if they got rid of arming time on flak and nudged the damage down a bit if there could be two metas.One that favors a junker and one that favors a pyra rather than having the same meta across two ships that brawl so differently. Mortar would output more damage favoring an easier to aim front arc of a pyra and the flak would be easier to aim lending itself to the moving broad arc.of a junker. Just a thought.
Dutch Vanya:
Who cares what the meta is, or what these guys say. If that build works for you, and continues to work for you against good opponents, then use it. Hell, if it doesn't work and you still want to use it, keep doing so. You DO actually have a good point about it being a lot easier to land flak shots off the side of a junker. Same reason i use a flak on some mine builds.
And Alistair, the thing about junkers sitting still doesn't apply when you have an enemy who knows how to exploit weaknesses, like the junkers speed and its inability to keep up with other ships that are backpedaling. Plus, sitting still takes all the fun out of piloting.

That's what the merc was called two years ago.

I may consistently go out of my way to call them Howitzers.

Whenever I think of Howitzers I think of something with a little more kick than what the merc has and sounds like
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB1jyNwhgrM (random video from 2 seconds on youtube) compare this to what the merc feels like and the merc just looks like a dinky rifle, while a howitzer implies something a lot cooler :P. Although now that I think of it, a gun that has a really high vertical arch when shot would be really cool way to get at enemies behind those little sand mounds in dunes, also would take a new skill set to rain shots down from above as upposed to firing straight at an enemy
