RearAdmiralZill:
If you are just starting out, get to rank 2 in all classes/roles before committing to getting lvl 3 in one, thus getting locked out of beginner matches "early." It broadens your perspective on all the classes, and doesn't potentially thrust you into the wild unknown.
N-Sunderland:
When in doubt, go engineer (unless you're in the captain's slot, in which case you should definitely be a pilot).
When your captain doesn't ask for any particular engineer tools, don't bring a buff hammer. Go mallet-spanner-extinguisher/chem.
If you don't see the guns that your captain is referring to, look for a ladder (I've solved many problems on my Pyra by saying "there's a ladder right here, near the helm").
Puggerugger:
Shatter damage hurts engines and guns, pierce damage hurts armour, explosive hurts permahull and flechette hurts balloons. Fire is good against everything except permahull. Always buff the hull, never buff the balloon.
When playing engie/gunner always bring a spyglass as helm skills are of no use to you. Mark targets when you see them, even in a fight. Take any break in the action you can be it a repair cool down or your gun reloading, this helps everybody, even hull engineers. It especially helps your allies who want to get behind your enemy to surprise them and save your ass.
When using a manticore, unless the target goes out of your arc, don't let go of the trigger.
And remember, never enter a 2v1, unless its a 2v1 in your favor.

That's not exactly correct. Fire damage is excellent against permahull (1.3, barely lower than explosive), and terrible against guns and engines (0.25).

Or rather, never buff it unless asked. Some captains like using balloon buffs to rapidly rise or drop.

I want my balloon always buffed.
