 Load cannon, shout, Filthy thieves! Eat lead!

[Aseaheru]

Back to the lodestones, I was thinking about them more and now I keep thinking them as a omni-directional engine of sorts...

But then what do you use to turn the ship?
Also not sure if I can update or not tonight, my glasses are not with me at the moment.

"I don't have to make anything up - I see them with my own two eyes, right to our starboard, and if they're less idiotically blind than ourselves, they're going to fire. If somebody with any kind of aiming skill got down there and shot them first, it would be damn nice!"

((Changed my action.))

Tiruin looked at the window.
"Well I can't see anything from the bridge-the topmost area. Whoever designed this ship does not do well with navigation. And if what you say is true...then is it not better to engage the enemy firsthand? If they are moving to retreat (..I can't imagine why they'd do that unless it'd be that important--I sense a plan on their side--then we must move perpendicular towards them!

"And by that," she tapped Problem Sleuth's shoulder, "I mean I really suggest moving North East. OR, we kick off at full speed going North. As long as our Starboard cannons are ship-shape, then we're quite fine.

"Who's in charge of our engine room?"

"You have a point, I suppose. Alright, we're going to go north-east then."

((Changing my action slightly.))

They would still be able to turn the ship then, by thrusting in various ways. But hell, I dont know. Its just that my brain keeps saying that they are small engines that fire in ways to turn the whole thing. But if they do act that way than you can have things like barrel rolls from one side firing up ad the other down... Ah well.

Or you could just assume that barrel rolls are still possible, and say that the lodestones can tilt the ship as well as rotate it.
Although a barrel roll would be a pretty terrible idea in 99% of situations.
I'll update when I can.

[flabort]

Aileron roll! It's not a Barrel Roll! [/mock anger]
But seriously....

[Aseaheru]

No ailerons on these.

Spoiler: GreatWyrmGold (Carl Anderson) (click to show/hide)

You load the Unloaded Starboard cannon. All 4 should be ready, now. You can hear Toastarrr chuckling to himself.

Spoiler: Toaster (Toastarrr) (click to show/hide)

You load the other Port gun. When you look out the window, you can see the slightest glimpse of them, and you've got both guns loaded, now, for once they're in range.

Spoiler: Darkpaladin109 (Problem Sleuth) (click to show/hide)

Your navigator complains about the lack of proper windows around here, and walks out of the room.
You sly north-east, and for a brief moment, you could see the other ship!
...Actually, you nearly hit them. That was close.
You hear a "thunk" sound behind you.

Spoiler: Avis-Mergulus (Chief Repairman Mikavi) (click to show/hide)

Deciding that being near the other ship is a good way to die, you scramble to the Port side, by Toastarrrr.
Although after feeling the ship turn, and hearing the other ship's engine, they may be over on this side, now. Hmm. You look out the window.
You can see a slight glimpse of them, Toastarrr starts to chuckle when he see it.

Spoiler: Tiruin (Tiruin) (click to show/hide)

At this altitude, air pressure won't be an issue, so you walk over to the Aft end of the ship and make a peeking hole with your Kukri.
...Maybe you shouldn't tell Sleuth about that.

Spoiler: Elephant Parade (Flimsy Engineer) (click to show/hide)

You head over to the Aft Port gun and tinker with it.

Spoiler: flabort (Captain Eagle) (click to show/hide)

You steer the ship 90 degrees to port, and sail full speed ahead! You're about to turn back starboard when the other ship flies right in front of you! So you keep flying and narrowly avoid them! That was close!

Spoiler: Urist Mc Dwarf (Alex Shater) (click to show/hide)

You shoulder your now-charged rifle and slide down the ladder to the firing deck.





[Rifle Charged]

Spoiler: Corsair (Noren Skystone) (click to show/hide)

Before you can board, you'll need the ship closer, and to know where the enemy is, so you take a peek out the port window.

Spoiler: WhitiusOpus (Johnathan White) (click to show/hide)

You run to the ammo dump, and load up some ammo on a cart and wheel it over to the guns.

This is only like the 4th turn or so, and you guys have already nearly collided with each other.
Pilots, keep in mind you can add conditional orders to your directions, so you don't crash on accident.

"Any sight of them on our starboard or bow? Also can any engineers try to improve our weaponry? We're at a safe enough altitude that the...air pressure doesn't hit the ship, enough. I..checked the barometer before boarding."

"Boss, they're to port and slightly behind us now - we've kinda cut them off. If we drop speed, we could maybe shoot them in the face?"
