Airship advice

<< < (3/5) > >>

Mr.Bando:
But what is a ship without their weaknesses? Without pointing obvious ones such as being ambushed from behind or taking a face-full of hwatcha.

Spires, despite their recent health buff, are still rather fragile. They don't have the speed to avoid the damage or the health and armour to soak much of it either. That isn't helped by their tall profile making it more forgiving for attackers firing gravity-affected projectiles at them. It also limits their vertical movement options being harder to fly/evade over obstacles and threats.

Squids have to pay a price for their speed with low armour and durability. They are nothing but burning debris without their speed so beware moonshine overdose, being caught in a cloud of tar or being caught in a hwatcha barrage.

Mobulas are particularly vulnerable to losing balloon more than most ships. Not only do they lose their main strength of controlling vertical spacing between themselves and their opponent, more hull surface area is exposed to the enemy when they gain a height advantage over you. This is not helped by the restricted layout of the ship that separate their vital hull and balloon hardpoints and keeping your engineers from helping each other repair. Lumberjacks or carronades coming from your below behind or below sidewards blindspots are particularly deadly. I have not mentioned minotaurs, but they annoy Mobulas a lot.

Koali:
Aren't Squids kinda tanky because of Muse's "balance" patches?

Squids have always been tanky, but yeah, they're even tankier now.  They have tons of health, and the low armor actually makes them tankier because it's so quick to rebuild (4 spanner hits)

Omniraptor:
Squids are hard to kill because if you just try to kill them without disabling, they will outmaneuver you, junkers are like that too. It's kind of the opposite of a pyramidion, if you try to flat out kill it pyra crumbles easily, but it's hard to disable.

also why are we "putting" random "words" in quotation marks?

Carn:
Sarcasm I think.
