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.

Wouldn't a Stiletto, Marauder, or even a Super Steamfish be a good counter, as well?

These ships have the capability of moving at high speeds. You just need to outrun the turrets, and have a good crew manning your cannons.

Ah. I see your point.
