Lack of Artemis
Sandy Hawkins:
I often fly with an Artemis for my gunner, it's really quite an excellent piece of armament,
ShadedExalt:
It disables well, it has some kill power, it's really easy to aim, has great arcs...
Why don't pubs use it?

Mostly because the easy shots will be lost when the ship turns, this makes new players think its hard to shoot or not effective.
Newer players also tend to not realise they're shooting a weapon with the intent of stopping the enemy damaging, only thinking of kill or flames... To add to this they often do not target weapons or engines only targeting the hull of the ship, assuming this is a pub match without vets teaching anything..
Piemanlives:
To add to this, many inexperienced players aim for the quickest/easiest kill, this in turn makes them forgo most strategy in favor for pure destruction. While the art is a fantastic weapon, using it as a kill weapon isn't as effective as using a weapon such as the mortar or flak, not only that but some people see having a low maximum elevation too much a trade off to use effectively, couple that with the slower turn speed which makes it a bit of a liability in knife fight type engagements which pubs tend to be.
HamsterIV:
I think the Artemis has been toned back making it less viable for long range killing. You probably saw more of them when they were a bit more powerful. Also match making has forced un-claned vets to fly more basic builds because we are getting stuck with players who can't shoot very well.
