Welcome, you there! Are you ready to become a legendary architect? One who build massive constructions, that sail through the sky? Are you ready to pit those constructions against the constructions of your hated enemies? ARE YOU READY TO DIE FOR YOUR COUNTRY?

Then get ready to join in this game of Mainspring, devised by piecewise himself, and used with permission!
Original Thread
The Battle Thread

This thread will be for the building of fantastic dreadnaughts that will one day sail the sky and blast other ships out of it!

The dropbox that contains the rules for ship construction is right HERE. (It will open in a pdf file in your browser.)

The official sized grid is HERE, and all of the needed ship modules can be found HERE.
Crewman Supply Catalog

HERE is the pdf of the crew manual, which details man-to-man fighting and building your crewman, and HERE is the template for creating your own character, basically a character sheet.

If you have any questions, then just ask me and I'll answer to the best of my abilities.

Oh look, I have a steam account.
Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

You can make a character if you want, but I would wait for the crew thread, if I were you.

I'd like to see what kind of ships you design, though.

So it was like a binary search, except the question is "Has the input been brutally murdered?", and it only ever returns True.

Just a heads up, there's gonna be stuff missing or unfinished in there. I'm pretty much certain of it. Probably stuff to do with the mechanics of harpoons or the constriction bolas or similar.

If there are things that you can't make sense of and Masta can't decipher from my scribbles, feel free to PM me. I may have an answer.

Excellent.
Also, are there engines that don't have to go on the back or sides? Like maybe underneath, or like those Lodestones?
I can add ANOTHER layer to the bottom in order to add enough engines to get it moving, but it would just be easier to place them mid-ship...

Lodestones are for ship control, not propulsion.
As for the underhung engines, right now there aren't any rules for them.

Any more room? I'll reserve an IN now while I read the rules :P
Nevermind. I need to get more sleep! I'll continue my regularly scheduled murder for now, might make a sub-orbital deathboat later ;D

I'm going to PTW here, and ponder a bit.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.
