Oh man. I think that altered gun arc is going to make the Spire more dangerous to fly on. The engineer on the hull is going to float between shooting and firing, so that extra gun might not be used beyond the first volley. At least the option is available, eh? Now it will truly feel like a glass cannon- get someone on repairs, or fight to disable the other ship quicker.

The gun that was turned is on top, not bottom, so I'm not sure how it changes the lower engie's role at all. I do agree though that I enjoy the more cannon and not less glass approach they went for.

Yeah, I tried using the top right gun as the main engi yesterday, and while it added loads of firepower, we also died way more often from the time it took me to get down to the hull. Maybe the captain can try using it against stationary ships?
RearAdmiralZill:
I always got the boat straight, determined if they were running, charging, staying at range, ect, set the throttle accordingly, and manned my gun as pilot. Worked well enough for me.
HamsterIV:
Zill do you use moonshine to cancel out residual turn before ghost piloting?
RearAdmiralZill:
While that's a novel idea, I did not. It's not as hard to keep steady in 1.2 physics. I used my gun arc limits to gauge where the boat was facing. Wasn't always perfect but it was my first night of spire practice.

And when I flew with you, you were doing well. I think you should be able to perfect it within time
