"What's wrong with the Pyramidion? What's wrong with the Hwacha?" - Awkm
Sammy B. T.:
The pyra currently lacks purpose and role. The hard nerf was needed but being hit on all sides means it just lacks reason for existing.
Its not a good charge brawl or ram ship(no hull or acceleration), it can't be a good medium range zoner (no armor to survive long enough for backing out), it can't use its side weapons independently (no turn skill).
These are all roles it used to fill exceptionally. It now can't really do any of these roles slightly. There are different ways to bring back the pyra and thats up for plenty of debate. I'm with Skies, give it some good acceleration and make it a zippy charger.
The Djinn:
Out of curiosity (I've been out of the game for over a year, and only very recently back in), what would thoughts be about a Pyra wit better angles on the side guns?
I think raising the ability to land 2-3 weapons on the port side might raise the utility of the ship in skilled hands, while not making it really any more powerful in pub matches where the side guns are more of an afterthought.

Well, we already have a ship like that.. The Mobula. What causes an issue with the current state of the Pyra, isn't gun arcs so much as survivability.. It takes time to get into range, and normally, the Pyra is destroyed before it can really get into close range. To be effective a Pyra needs to be able to survive long enough to get into range and do it's damage. The simplest two ways to achieve this would be making the Pyra be able to take more hits (so it can spend more time getting shot at without blowing up) or make it faster (so it spends less time getting shot at in the first place).
Dutch Vanya:
The pyra should be good at ramming/ charging and nothing else.

I mean, I agree: that's the Pyra I fell in love with. But that's a hard balance to hit for low-level play where that's almost all people do with ANY ship.
