SHIPS Balance Questions and Concerns v1.2
Mattilald Anguisad:
Before 1.2 everybody was laughing at junkers only captains, but now junkers are actualy a viable ship in competitive meta. The narrow hull is one of the saving graces of the ship allong with the ability to repair hull armor from below, good acceleration and good turning speed - especialy contrasted to how fragile it is.
Chrinus:
I'm not out to rebuild the Junker. I like the ship and her design, strengths, and weaknesses. She's in a solid state overall, I agree. My only disagreement is with how unparalleled her ability to keep target is as a ship capable of wide converging arcs, it's a tough ship to get an approach angle on. On the other hand, a ship posing a fairly consistent threat forces pilots to adapt or conform, and those loving the other ships will assuredly bring new ideas into the game to counter them.

This, combined with its good armor are pretty much its only strengths. Remember how underpowered the Junker was before it was made extremely agile and tanky. That's its niche, now.
I think there are a few weapons with arcs wider than they strictly should be (artemis) but other than that, I don't perceive the Junker as overpowered. Remember the inherent tradeoff you get for having three crew on weapons.
The Spire may possibly deserve some more turn rate and acceleration. It should be the best in both of those categories, and it should be the best by a decent margin.

Oh, yeah, my bad. This is definitely true, to the point where I sort of assume it to be true. Aside from the Squid, the Spire should have the best turn rate. :p
