Foam weaponry leads to boarding actions and we can't have that in GOIO

Not from Guns of Icarus but appropriate:
My job as Captain is to never take you into a situation you can't handle.
Your job as crew is to be so brilliant that there is no situation I can't take you into.

Feedback and Suggestions / Re: Alliance gun balance idea
« on: April 19, 2017, 06:12:41 pm »
I was a bit disappointed by the corsair, the forward canting of the side guns are not far enough to get double gat on target. The Barony and Guild ships can do double gat. The layout is great for engineering and fighter defense, but the firepower seems unfocused. I quit the Republic and signed up for the Guild after I got the Corsair.

I haven't earned or even heard the Air Horn special ability. Does it sound like La Cucaracha? Please say it sounds like La Cucaracha.

I ban Ightrril because I had to change my pants after thinking too much about 5 mines exploding on an enemy ship. It starts with the setup, then the anticipation, then the moment of truth, and finally the gentle cascade of ship parts falling to earth. Oh god I did it again. Damn you Ightrril!!!

General Discussion / Captain Centric Game Modes
« on: March 29, 2017, 04:17:07 pm »
I would like to make the argument that Sky Ball and to a lesser extent Crazy King and VIP are too focused on the captain to provide an enjoyable experience for the rest of the crew. I am not proposing any solutions, but I think it needs to be said that the reason these game modes are not popular is because out of a lobby of 16 people only the actions of 4 of them really affect the outcome of the game. In Death Match and King of the Hill games good gunnery or good engineering can be a deciding factor, but in Sky Ball and Crazy King the crew are almost passive spectators to the Captain's skill and knowledge.
Muse probably thought these game modes would be fun because similar mechanics work in games where individual players control their positioning and tactics. However GOIO is not that sort of game.
Going forward I think Muse needs to put more thought into how new game modes will be experienced by the non captain players. If there exists a mechanic that can be exploited by not engaging, then the crew should have something better to do than keep up with a kerosene burn.

Gameplay / Re: Firing mechanism and damage explanation
« on: February 09, 2017, 06:39:44 pm »
Yor Trison, keep in mind that was awkm's explanation back in 2013. The harpoon mechanics have changed a bit since then. It was always unwieldy and often a waste of space. During the glory days of the harpoon it would stay attached until you fired a 2nd harpoon and act like a bungee chord between the two ships. Most of the time the harpoon will make both ships flounder about with no direction control, but if you setup the situation just right you could use the harpoon to fling enemy ships into walls. Sadly the game physics don't allow for that level of stupidity anymore.
