What Your Favorite Ship Says About You as a Player

(1/6) > >>

DrTentacles:
We all have our preferences-ships, guns, and loadouts. I got to thinking about the differences in piloting styles, and I decided to write a short list, in my eyes, of what your favorite ship says about you as a pilot. Note that all of my opinions are purely opinion, and mostly silly. I encourage you to come up with your own stereotypes for other classes below:

Goldfish:

I'm an ace pilot, with great trust in my crew. I enjoy outflying enemies, and prefer to rely on my skill as a pilot first and foremost. I also like to abuse engineers.
Or
I like to only have to think about one gun. Also, I like to only fly forward.

Squid:

I'm like a goldfish pilot, only with a bigger ego. I put deep faith in my engineers, despite that fact that I seem to take deep pleasure in my crew's near-constant state of panic.
Or
I wish this were a dogfighting game. If I could fly without a crew, I probably would.

Pyramideon:

I like winning. Variety in gunning and engineering is boring-why stray from a solved formula? I also have not read patch notes in several months.
Or
I am new. I have not yet found the reverse key, or how to adjust altitude.

Junker:

I am a deeply tactical individual who likes having the right gun for the right occasion. I dislike having specific strengths or weaknesses. I also dislike cannonades and lumberjacks.
Or
I am a deeply terrifying individual who likes to get 9 kills in a 2v2 deathmatch.

Galleon:

I'm like a Junker pilot, only with less faith in my piloting skills, and more faith in my gunners. I prefer to predict my enemy, and let my guns talk for me. I also like 20+ minute matches.
Or:
BIG GUNS BIG EXPLOSIONS BIG GUNS BIG EXPLOSIONS BIG GUNS BIG EXPLOSIONS.
Or
I'm lost. That wall looks attractive.
Or
I'm a historical wargamer who bemoans the lack of period naval games.

Spire:

I like guns, predicting my enemy, looking quirky, and never getting touched by enemy fire. Dunes is my favorite map. Sometimes, I like to take a bathroom break mid-match. I probably wish I was-or am-a gunner.
I also do read patch notes.
Or:
Flackflackflackflackflackflack.
Flack.
Leave your gun, and I'll throw you off the ship.

Mobula:

I am DANGEROUSLY quirky, and hate playing popular ships. I also have a firm understanding of gun arcs.
or
I do not know gun arcs. I do, however, like the idea of five guns. Five. Guns. That's like...twice the killing power of a normal ship, right?

These two fit me so well. Muids anyone?

James T. Kirk:
Scarily Accurate.
Can you read my palm too?

Keiran Gold:
...I think it's only fair that an engineer get a say in this now.  Well.  No time like the present.

Goldfish:

I have a deep faith in my captain and crew, and believe the captain won't overuse Kerosene.  Or Moonshine.

Alternatively:  I am a screaming wreck because the engines have gone down for the fifth time now because wHY ARE WE CHASING THIS SQUID WE ARE NOT A SQUID STOP IT NOW--

Alternatively-alternatively:  I like flamethrowers.  A lot.  Why did the hull just go out?

Squid:

I pray the captain doesn't use Moonshine.  Ever.  Not once.  At all.  And when everything is on fire, I am going to curl up with my mallet and cry.

Alternatively:  I haven't seen the light of day in twenty minutes and am considering marrying the hull.

Pyramideon:

The d key on my keyboard is broken, but at least everything is fine.  Except the balloon.  Again.

Junker:

I work well with my captain and crew, and I like a little of everything.  I just have to trust that the main engine won't go down whenever I'm on the other side of the ship--oh dangit

Alternatively:  The balloon has gone down twice because the captain keeps hitting it with a wrench when it's on fire.

Galleon:

All the guns on one side are broken, the gungineer isn't repairing the turning engines, and I have been running up and down these stairs so much and I'm seriously considering letting the balloon just die to save my w key.

Alternatively: This is almost as good as being a gunner!  Why are the turning engines down again?

Spire:

The captain refuses to let me get off my gun and repair the hull and is doing it himself but he doesn't have chem-spray or a fire extinguisher and I wish I was on a different ship.

Alternatively:  I've fallen off this gun platform six times now trying to go repair the balloon.

Mobula:

Everything on my side is going absolutely fine, except that the hull/balloon is on fire and I haven't noticed for five minutes.  Also, I'm getting really good with sniping.

Alternatively:  There are three engineers on this ship and somehow every engine is down.


That sum it up well enough?  :Bc

Carn:
The squid and goldfish ones are so accurate. Now I must do one for gunners.

Goldfish

"Just line 'em up cap!"

Squid

"I feel useless."

or on a muid

"BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"

Pyramidion

"No! Idiot engie on the mortar! WAIT TILL RED HIT MARKERS!"

Junker

Switching back and forth from long range, to short range sides.

or

"WHICH SIDE ARE THEY ON? AND WHY DO I HAVE TO FIX THE ENGINE? I'm gunner mlg360fl bro!"

or, on a munker

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Galleon

"BOOM, loch shot!"

or

"HWATCHA!" wait 30 seconds "HWATCHA!"

or

"Gah! Why are my guns on this side down?"

Spire

Running back and forth between bottom guns.

and/or

"Boom. Boom. Boom. Lochnagar Heavy Flak for life!"

Mobula

"Well, I know I'm going to get a mercury."

or

"Why does the gunner get one gun, while the engineers get two?"
