Don't forget the all banshee Cake mobula 'Platform Birthday'.

Oh yeah I've heard that before, the all banshee Junker im pretty sure is called The Birthday Cake also.

gat mortar mobula = Brawlbula

hades artemis pyra = Hardy

I especially like Hardy

Oh and I've heard people refer to a Carronade/Flamer Pyramidion as 'The Rainbow Crash' before after redria's Pyramidion.

We still need a name for Hades/Flak btw people.

Munkers = Any Junker with 2+ Minelaunchers.

Why not just 1 mine? Because while 1 mine is good enough to keep an enemy at bay, the boat will most likely use it's side guns more. How you fly the vessel changes very little. The mine launcher is only there for defensive purposes. When you add a 2nd mine launcher, you add the ability to easily fend off multiple vessels as well as use mines more effectively in an offensive manner instead of just defense. While you may have a kill side or disable side, your piloting style changes as you can approach engagements differently. When your piloting style shifts, thats called Munker.

I love 2 mines on a Junker. I have both mines on bottom deck, side guns being a carronade and a gattling. And an artemis upfront. Super fun build. Gives gunners some work for a change ahaha.

any ship with all armour shredding weapons, usually chain guns, I've heard be called stripper.

ex stripper squid
stripper junker

Unlike real strippers, stripper ships don't have thongs.
And unlike real life GOI doesnt have money.
To tip instead you shold tuck commendations into their hull. 

I think every one. However it's not official. It's just my thoughts.

I'll be sure to call them that should I see one

Catfish is super cute.

Yes it is.

And from the depths of Paritan Comes a new threat. A Catfish. With Broadside Catfish. Watch out.

Harpoon & Gatling Pyramidion = Fisherman
Carronade & Flamethrower Pyramidion = Carroflamer
Hades & Banshee Pyramidion = NeoPyra

I think I could also fit in here:
Glowbula = GwTh mobula. The mostly known one is Aesir piloted by Skrimskraw

Interesting stuff. I especially like the fisherman. What's on a Glowbula? Or is that just a general term for any GwTh Mobula?

the fire demon himself

Fire Demon Pyramidion

Catfish - hwacha goldfish

Catfish is super cute.

Never heard catfish.  Where does that come from?  It's not a contraction...

Hwatcha has lions on it. And it's on a goldfish. Therefore Catfish.


Also I'm totally gonna call all the ships in here by these names forever and ever.

Some ship layouts have names-

Gat/mortar Pyramidion- Metamidion
Carronade/Artemis Pyramidion - Carrot
Heavy Carronade Goldfish - Blenderfish
Mine Junker - Munker (or is munker meta-junker i forget)

Others don't. (I probably Missed some.)

We should name some other ones too.
But cool names.
So people actually use them.

Here at Cake Studios_(tm) we call Hades/Flamer Pyramidion- Inferno/Inferno Build Pyramidion.

So my question for you GOI Forums, what should we name some other ship builds?
Thoughts?

_{All Flamer should be a called a cake ship - just sayin e.g. Hey! look at that Cake Junker}

I ban Hamster because everyone knows that the best place for pineapple is in a sweet and sour sauce. Or with cubes of cheese (somehow D:)

Usually if I'm playing pilot with a crew of novices I start with: "Okay, so shoot things when I say shoot, and repair things when they need repairing and we'll have a good time." They're usually very eager to communicate after that- in my experiences anyway. I then precede to show my artemis gunji how to get the junker's hull from the front and tell my hades gunners to aim higher than they think they should.

Then we make beautiful sky magic together.

Disappearing ships is just people playing as a spy.

Use a flare gun or flamethrower to reveal their position. (Or make whale calls in crew chat to act as a sonar.)

In all serious though i mean there are bugs, but personally they don't 'bug' me.
Sure ships vanish sometimes, sure it goes into slow motion sometimes.
I still had fun in those games. Surely that's what games are about no?
They need fixing, sure and they will at some point. But hey let's all chill and shoot each other in airships and have a good ol' time in the mean time.

We all will. Don't you worry. (Except Tyberius, he hates it.)
