Shoot better!
Surette:
Well yes, naturally if the captain sucks you're not going to be able to do much. That's not unique to captains, though; the same is also true if the engineers or gunners suck. If you can't repair efficiently you're definitely going to die, and if you can't shoot the enemy faster or more accurately than they can shoot you, you're also going to die.
Honeybadger:
Not everyone can be as Honeybadgering as most of the people in this thread, there is a side that says; yes, you have to tell the new players what to do, but you can't expect them to start leading their shots and shooting lumberjacks crossmap like that.
But yeah, shoot fucking better.
Skrimskraw:
when I fly I need my gunners to hit, nothing more annoying than when a gunner misses a vital shot, or cant even hit at all
TracyJackson:
I suppose damage protection...a ship can't fly if it is on the brink of destruction. Even with a good pilot or gunner, you are still gonna get damaged...although the extent of damage does depend on how good the flying is and/or the damaging of other ships is. I like being an Engineer as my role is crucial to the game, one mistimed fix can cause an engine to go bust or balloon to go down...and then you'd need to start over.
Plasmarobo:
Honestly, sometimes I love having a new crew.
If they are willing to listen to me, it feels great when we get kills.
But on the listening thing, following the theme of cohesion, I really dislike silence.
I know some people simply don't have mics, and it's awkward to use text chat.
But get a mic. And talk to me. You don't have to be my friend but give me feedback.
I rarely gun. I often forget where the effect-cones of the weapons are. To that end, it's hard to know if they are all able to shoot effectively. Easier with some ships than others.
I also like to co-opt other people into extending my situtational awareness.
Not always easy to keep guns pointed at the target and watch the guy who thinks he's sneaking up on you. Cardinal directions are super useful!
