The Spire has had never ending balance discussions, but the real issues are right here.
-The Spire needs a crows nest. if the Spire is going to be this tall, you should allow us to use that height, to climb all the way to the top of the balloon to spot enemies and use our.. range finders.
-CHUTE VENT RAM. The point on the bottom of the Spire should actually function as the vertical pyramidion i imagine it to be.
-The space where the balloon used to be is a great spot for the cage to put naughty insubordinate crew members in, but it could also be used for a ladder up to the crows nest.
-I even mentioned the crows nest once or twice when playing with Bubbles. I thought he loved the Spire more than his firstborn child.
-Acceleration, because it's fun (and balance).
-Exclusive heavy weapon, a cannon that shoots glass.
-Whenever Clan Clan flies a Spire, we seem to do best with little to no permanent hull left. Please remove most of the Spires permanent hull.
-When the Spire gets damaged to a certain point, the bottom part of the ship should break off, reducing the ships vertical profile and increasing its speed due to lost weight, allowing it to escape.
-Decal that paints the balloon as a bright red bullseye.
