So aside from all the "Oh the Mobula is objectively sh!t" craziness on this forum, I'd like to bring this ship to public attention since it hasn't been discussed that I've seen
This is not necessarily a 'Mobula is broken' thread, even if in my honest opinion I still think it is.
I'm just trying to understand what is the point of it, I mean, I freaking love the looks of it, probably the sole reason I even play the darn thing, but what else is there about it?
- 5 count em 5! forward facing guns, 3 main ones that easily converge fire, and two secondary support guns.
- The hull is also a massive target, wide profile makes it an easy target for brawlers look to land erratic mortar fire and moonshine rams
- Armor and Speed is below average
- I honestly think either the hull, or the speed, could use a buff. Since it seems a bit lacking in both those regions, but buffing bother would make the Mobula OP in my opinion
- It's still horribly slow which disallows it to easily maneuver out of danger
- Rams still pretty much one-shot it
- Can only brawl generally only with support, and sniping it's hard to get good optimum killing power out of light guns
- The ship is cut in half with no way to access both sides easily, this makes it almost absolutely needed to bring 3 "Gungineers" and have them in very specific places to even begin to think the Mobula as viable
When I look at the Mobula, all I see is a beautiful ship with lots of promise, that's just lacking in a few areas
All in all, the Mobula can be a pain to be in a moving engagement in. Causing it to really only be viable in "glass cannon" or "burst damage" strategies where engagements happens quick and violently.
My question is, what is everyone else's opinions on the ship, what would you add/take away to make it better?
