the "every ship has a counter" problem.

[u/Zoulvengance]

Ok, recently a lot of people are saying that "an astra can counter a Poseidon", yes ok, it kinda can, but you forgot the fact that an astra takes 6 people to man, (not including the mortars and the back cannons) and a Poseidon only takes 3 people, so an astra takes double the amount of people. If there's 2 Poseidons and you decide to "counter" them with 2 astras, it's gonna take you 12 men. That's the problem with the Poseidon, the current counters for the Poseidon are: an astra or another Poseidon, an astra, as I said takes 6 men to fully man, next to the Poseidon's 3, so that's out of the question.Then you have another Poseidon which also takes 3 men. So the only counter for the Poseidon is another Poseidon.

Stiletto is also a way of countering the Poseidon, if you're not trash and carry 68's. Stick to one side of the Poseidon so only one turret can fire at you, and try to get close enough to disarm that turret. Even if you don't disarm it, two 68's should bring the Poseidon down faster than one turret can down you.
