"When Ambush Comes to Shove" -Week 3 Possibly final testing?!
Richard LeMoon:
I was pondering things, and IF the gun angles had to be changed, I would go with something more like this.
20 to 30 degrees on outer guns rather than the current 35.
In devapp, the side guns are ALL 50 degrees. (35+15 and 45+5) That reduces the number of viable forward facing side guns to Artemis, flamethrower, and Banshee. Barking Dog is semi-viable. Completely removed from viability are flak, Gatling, and mortar (which was only semi-viable). In short, Mobula builds will be reduced to Hades/Merc/Gat main, Artemis/banshee wings. I was told this patch was intended to shake up the meta. All it is going to do is solidify it.
Sending this to feedback email as well.
BlackenedPies:
I'd rather do that but I'd prefer not to touch gun arcs because it doesn't balance and just changes builds. IF arcs were changed that's the best solution
Richard LeMoon:
For visual reference, this is the current setup:
And the devapp testing changes:

Hi Jedi (and everyone)
I have to apologise for this one. I was asked to run the testing on Saturday because the usual team members were unavailable to take care of it. I wasn't drafted for the Sunday duty and I didn't check if I was still supposed to be supervising. As such, everyone thought that someone else was handling it and nobody from Muse showed. I ought to have checked, sorry about that.
That being said, we got some good feedback E-mails from both days, so thanks everyone for those!

I'm just putting out my thoughts to the table about the arc changes of the mobula.
I can somewhat see the point here of why they've fanned out the arcs so wide out. I believe the idea here was to encourage captains to dedicate each wing to either specific range, disable power and kill power ect. With the front gun specialising on what one of the wings are dedicated to (as stated above ^^).
Although, you'll then only have two players firing at a single target simultaneously instead of three, which is problematic since it's killing the mobula's purpose of being a floating weapon platform. The only solution I can think of is to remove the ladder to the front gun and instead add stairs on both sides, similar to a galleon when running to helm. Which will allow one of the engineers to have easier access to front gun for a trifecta.
Indirectly from my perspective, this is a nerf. Although this can also be a remake to the ship's core playstyle, and show the new way of how to man and navigate a mobula.
