Apparently I was on a religious sabbatical, contemplating the greater meaning of the SkyWhale and how that I might better serve it's awesome being.

Orginal Assumptions
*There is a harpoon gun, and this ship is called a Junker, lookout for skywhales.
*Its team based, god dammit I'm either going to be fixing or leading again, I just want to shoot skywhales!
*Some weapons have multible areas of function that others dont, doesnt seem to be deliberately superior, there has to be a designed counter.
*Captain is proactive, engineering is pro or reactive and gunning is best done by assignment.
What Iearned
*Harpoons are for killing skywhales, they have no other use, keep searching.
*Every strategy has a counter, intentionally designed or not, ship/weapon choice changes with map selection. Who uses the terrain best wins.
*Gunners are an extension of the Captains will, a strong harmony between a captain and a skilled gunner is more important than a skilled engineer. Dead ships dont shoot back.
*The combat follows a theme like a story, there is a beginning, middle and end to each conflict. Each phase uses different tools and weapons, and each ship is more or less proficient at each phase, read the scene correctly and you will win.

For a single player experience there is a ton of U boat games out there. But ship to ship combat GOI does seem to be pretty unique.

Somebody mentioned sky whales, I have an obligatory look into the thread. And I say harpoon guns are rescue guns! Harpoon your crew to safety!

Love that view of the Arashi from a new perspective! Our reasons are the same for choosing them, there just appears to be a great diversity born out of need and struggle.

The mental image of this constipated whale floating through the clouds begging for sweet death was to much for me. I exploded in more laughter than I have in a long while. Absolutely died. Thank you for this Gilder.
