General Discussion / Re: Analyzing levels in Guns of Icarus, need help with feedback

I honestly don't have any maps that I prefer over others, they're all pretty good.
My least favorite game mode, however, is probably Crazy King but only because not a lot of people understand it, otherwise it's good.

When I first played this game, Battle on the Dunes was my favorite (Back when it was very devoid of clouds)
but as I grew better at the game I started liking more challenging maps.

General Discussion / Re: Ship Customization

Hi Everyone and thank you in advance for taking the time to read my post

It has been less than a week since i discovered this game and so far it has been a very enjoyable experience. What i would like to ask you veterans is, if there are any future plans for further ship customization. I am not talking about aesthetic customization, but about more hard points. For example will be able to change the engines, propellers, rudder, hull material, balloon or anything else that has a vital role in the ship's handling/performance and is not a gun.

I personally feel that would add a bit of unneeded complexity for me to follow. I like how the properties of a ship are easy to read from another ship's point of view and to have various subtle stat changes would kind of complicate that. Not to mention that the more things that a game has, the harder it is to balance.

According to the twitch stream going on right now, customization is coming (\o/).

I don't know much about it myself but I think it's cosmetic ship skins that they're talking about.

My initial assumptions of the game. All of which I now know are wrong.
"I'll mostly be playing gunner."
"People will fight to be the main gunner."
"Occasionally, at least two crew members will be too stubborn to give up being a gunner."
"The other classes aren't very interesting."
"This game will be will be quite complicated."
"The Manticore is overpowered."
"The captain will often behave like dictator."
"The Gattling Gun is useless."
"People will hate me if I suck."
"Everyone but the captain has captain-mind-reading powers, so I don't need to use voice com." 
"Port is the right side of the ship, and Starboard is the left side."
