Indreams:
In Guns of Icarus, you can:
Repair/Rebuild components
Fire guns
Pilot the ship


What's more fun?

Indreams:
I've found that repairs/rebuilds are, while essential, the least entertaining.

I enjoy piloting, but I never want to miss a chance of giving a good Hwacha barrage.

ShadedExalt:
Engi-ing can get pretty intense, and you get a kind of fierce pride in knowing that you kept the ship from falling apart.

Gunning is one big ball of explosions and Canadian hitmarkers.  That feel when you nail an HF shot doe...

Personally, Piloting is the most fun, for me anyway.  You have a sense of freedom when piloting, and it almost feels like YOU'RE the one who nailed the Hwacha barrage, and you get a sense of pride in EVERYONE, whereas individuals take pride in their own work.  Basically, what is a Captain without a crew?!

Kamoba:
Because of the nature of the game I find it depends who I'm with, I'll happily engineer and gun with pick up groups, but in general find being a captain with a pick up group very stressful if you have just one person unwilling to make any effort, for example a guy wanted to gun and he argued with the other guy who wanted to gun, in the end the other guy agreed to me making him ballon mortar engineer, kudo's to the guy who didn't gun he tried damn hard considering what happened, and the lvl 1engineer who took the mantle of main done an awesome job and listened to tips and tricks I gave him.
The 'gunner' though, I gave him a heavy, greased heatsink loadout... He camped on the mortar and shot one shot each engagement... While armour was up. He was not afk, his shot towards the enemy each engagement showed that... No language barrier, he made himself very well understood with his whole argument of being a gunner only, on his want to be a specialist gunner on all weapons and he accepted loadout and confirmed his gun was Gatling front right, in this situation where I had to rely on ballon engineer to Gatling and me to shoot banshee on for our only one kill while this guy just trolled... I finished the match apologising to the two engineers, the problem is not the loss itself but the lack of enjoyment for anyone on the ship..

Yet with a crew of all new players who have no idea what to do are more fun as they make the effort, aboard a ship with a language barrier and being the only English speaker was more fun as I had to base engineering on what the other engineer was doing

shaelyn:
shooting crap, but it depends on the gun.
