The Tip Jar, a collection of community tips
Pickle:
Never get onboard a 'ship -
- when the Captain isn't a Pilot
- if there's more than one Pilot
- if it looks like there isn't going to be an engineer and you don't plan on playing one
- as a buffing Engineer/Gunner/Pilot without checking with the Captain that that's ok
- when the 'ship has the default name
- when the match start countdown timer has already started
- without sanity checking the weapons loadout
- mid-game without checking the match roster to be sure that you're role will not unbalance the crew

Engineering Tips:
- Most important components are the hull and the balloon.
- Second priority is the main (or solitary) engines, then the turning (dual) engines.
- Of least importance are the guns. They can afford to remain broken in a heavy fight.
- During a heavy fight, stay glued to the hull and/or balloon. If the ship isn't being attacked, you can work on everything else.
- Listen to your captain and fix whichever components he/she wants to have fixed.
- If you're the only engineer (or the most capable engineer) on your ship, stay off the guns and make sure your ship stays afloat.
- If there's another engineer on the ship that's already fixing the hull or balloon, focus on any other busted components, primarily the engines.

Crew tips:
* listen to your captain and follow his or her orders unless he is a complete idiot (still do it if he's a bit of an idiot)
MattyK:
* Always have a dedicated "Fireman" ready, you wouldn't believe how common Dragon Boats are in online play.
* Also, Dragon Boats are BRILLIANT team harassers but fragile as hell, stick to hit-and-run tactics if you don't want to go down in as big a ball of flames as the enemies your trying to ignite.
* Fight fire with fire; a Flamethrower is the best deterrent from a short-range Dragon Boat, but don't be afraid to experiment with close range weapons too to find a playstyle that befits you or your crew..
* Echidnas are brilliant mid-range weapons, both for peppering enemies and discouraging pursuers.
