Q&A / How does one effectively use (and counter) a Spire?
« on: February 06, 2016, 12:10:22 pm »
I just plain can't figure out how to use this ship. The few times I have used it (it's currently my least-used ship), I wind up being the target of the majority of kills for the other team while being unable to get any kills myself. Meanwhile, whenever I go up against an enemy Spire, it always manages to kill me before I can even scratch it, and my only hope is to bring a Blenderfish and hope I can stay above the arc of its guns.
So how are you supposed to fly one of these things, and what kinds of guns are you supposed to bring with it? I've tried every loadout I can think of, but they're easily beaten by the enemy ships. It's easy enough to blame Novice Engineers who don't understand the concept of Gungineering, but my consistent failures seem to suggest I'm doing something completely wrong here. Not to mention I can't seem to figure out how to beat a Spire myself without resorting to a Blenderfish. How does everyone else manage to do it all?
