Only 1-2.

.... SJM you've created a monster.

[Sanure]

Things going through Sanure's mind:

SHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHIT Gave them too much power. Quick fix this, fix this.... CRAP I CANT THING OF ANYTHING!!!!

Meh

Like 1 person. May have to default their actions.

[sjm9876]

.....bay12? Too much power? nah

...... Bagsy Captaincy.

[Alexandria]

I can point out an airship weakness.

Thunder storm.

[sjm9876]

Tsk. That's why the Solairi gets the role of chief lightning control

Thunder storm.

A. It's flying by magic, so no combustible gases to worry about.
B. We can cover the body in copper, which will conduct/direct the electricity away from the sensitive bits. Like us. Airplanes get struck by lightning all the time and they turn out okay for the same reason.

Also this.

[Sanure]

That is a lot of copper needed USEC

Yeah. Speaking of Solairi, New poll

[GreatWyrmGold]

Just to field my future plans: I desire, as a pirate captain on land, an airship. I believe this to be advantageous to the team because it is awesome (plus also means we get significantly increased mobility.)
A list from the GM of required resources reveals:

1 Ship of desired size
40-160 Opals (Wind)
40-160 Moonstones (Gravity)
3 Large Mana Batteries
75,000 Mana (Which is why the Large Mana Batteries are needed)
1 Blueprint of Airship (You do have an inventor with you)

All help would be appreciated. And if I ever see a jeweler who specialises in opals/moonstones, I'm robbing them. Just saying.

Well, I can definitely help with the blueprints. But...yeah, enchanting the jewels is going to be a bit of a pain. I should probably learn that little trick at some point.

Heh probably. I plan to just find a spellstone that contains a dragon. Who needs an Airship when you have a dragon to ride?

1. People who don't have a steady supply of meat/etc to feed it?
2. People who want to be able to be in the air at all hours of the day?
3. People who want to be able to fly across deserts or oceans, not just places you can find streams for the dragon to drink?
4. People who don't want a single lucky shot to send them plummeting to the ground suddenly?
5. People who want to take cargo places?
6. People who want to take passengers?
7. People who want to be able to upgrade/alter their ride later?
Not to say that dragonriding isn't cool, or that it doesn't have its uses, but it just can't be used for the purposes of an airship.

Thunder storm.

Why? It's not grounded, lightning wouldn't be an issue. Unless you made the whole thing out of metal or something, I guess. And even then, it would be directed around anything of value inside.

[USEC_OFFICER]

That is a lot of copper needed USEC

*shrug* Compared to the cost of the gems to enchant it? Not really. Plus a lot of wooden boats had their hulls covered in copper plates to stop barnacles and the like, so it's not completely out there.

Zita knows enchanting...

[sjm9876]

I am a pirate who can make bombs - just saying.

Also, Vulpa too knows enchanting.

[Alexandria]

It's a summon. Food, water and sleep don't come into it. As long as I have mana the dragon can keep going.
My dragon does upgrade summons level up with the summoner so every level I go up the dragon becomes stronger.

Anything that can fire that high into the sky can shoot down a slow moving bulky airship a lot easier then a small agile dragon.

But point accepted on passengers and cargo.


It doesn't need to be grounded. Bolt hits balloon. Balloon gets hole. Airship greets ground at extremely high speed.


Oh and as for copper armoring. You know what that would weigh lol? You'd more then half the airships range.

[Sanure]

I will point out that said Airship will be able to float due to Moonstones (gravity enchants). No balloons needed. Also Will have Opals (Wind Enchants) for speed. This airship will not be slow

Excellent... I'm pretty sure that raiding people isn't going to earn us a lot of friends though.

Magic. Did you miss the part about having freaking magic? No balloon to get a hole in, speed and weight restrictions are dependent more on how good your enchantment is than anything else.

[Alexandria]

Meh every single airship I've ever seen in any show, movie, book or otherwise had a balloon. Might have been helpful to actually describe it.


But meh no matter I can help with the mana I think but I suspect it will end up as a weakness more then a strength having airships.

True, true.
Just a little bit..... please?

And we did list the ingredient, without any balloons
We mean an airship as in a literal flying ship.
