The age of the Squid is coming, RIP pyramidion, though shalt be a specialist use only but thy powers shall not be forgotten!
Looking forward to the next testing!

Kamoba:
Chem cycles OP!
AI shall become te babe of any pilot during the time of the squid!
Now may be the time to request AI be programmed to do chem cycles...
Gatling Banshee squid is being armed and primed..
So is the double Artemis squid, but I can only use that with a very select group of three crew members...

The current changes suggest that it's moving toward a general purpose front line ship. It's becoming more of a slightly flimsier pyra with twice the firepower.

It cant be a front line ship... The spire is a Big, easy to spot, easy to hit, hard to manage ship. If it would try to frontline like a Goldfish then it would die before anyship because it is still weak to frontal fire, it wont react torwards damage as well a pyra or goldfish does. And from current spire, this is the best type of gameplay you can do but the balance is still very disadvantagous. With this, the balance is advantagous enough for being a glass cannon. Because now, it can navigate and it can survive a direct gunfight. Or atleast long enough.
Like i said, if the spire is equal to a 2 or 1 gun ship firing back at the spire which has 4 guns. And it still struggles? The reward for it is very minimal. It should be scary or disadvantagous for the enemy ship facing a spire that faces back. The spire will not likely be flying off arcs like the goldfish or tank the damage like a pyramideon. It is gonna stay there firing back. Because what else.

I don't understand.. a glass cannon is not supposed to survive a direct gunfight, which it's why it's supposed to have greater maneuverability to get the heck out of dodge.
Giving it more health and able to survive a direct firefight makes it a front line ship, doesn't it?
My point is, if it's supposed to be a front line fighting ship, it can have all this extra hp. If it's supposed to be a glass cannon, it needs more maneuverability. Just not both.
I'm just not sure why it's getting both, unless it's supposed to be a "jack of all trades" ship, and the pyramidion and junker kind of fill that role already. Do we want another general purpose ship that has more firepower than the pyra and junker?
