Anyways, Mk2 is a complete loss and a waste of a design, like ebbor said. It's not worth it to spend revisions making it useable when we can just use the MK1 instead. And next combat phase we will still be annihilated by Lucky Strike. So...

With these numbers, that was kind of an inevitability. None of our anti-lucky strike things would have been functional.

As for ship design.


Leviathan Ship: After getting steam engine working this is our new steam boat. The trick? Metal studded/anchored hull sides and a cabinet of metal like a dome outer main deck. With strategic hatches for the main guns. Has rotators wheels, steam oars and auxiliary Manuel oars. It is built to last due to metallic design. A tad slow but harder to sink.


Based off Korean Turtle Boat. Which defeated a Japanese invasion fleet and were out numbered 5 to one I think and only lost three. And it is a time traditional cannons were in use.


* 1 design left. * 1 Spell left.

Lots of revisions in mind.

[Chiefwaffles]

Rifled barrels seem risky to me, but eh.

And now that I see Ebbor's edited-in designs, I'm going to switch my vote from Accuracy to Chain Artillery.

I'm assuming Ebbor's voting for his own stuff at first.

Designs
2 - Chain Artillery: Chiefwaffles, Ebbor
1 - MK1 Hybrid Cannon Increased Range: Chiefwaffles
1 - Long-range Fireballs: Ebbor
1 - Rifled Barrels: Andrea
0 - MK1 Hybrid Cannon Increased Accuracy:

@Ebbor: While we will never know, if Crystal Canopy got those rolls, a revision could probably get it to functional. But with the MK2, a revision spent getting it to functional is better spent improving the MK1.
Anyways, after re-reading the design report, the improvements to the MK1 are pretty nice, although still probably not worth the design slot. So not a total loss.


EDIT: You know what's also something we should do in the future with ship design? Artillery ships. With multiple cannons fitted onto a single new ship, we could have our ships provide support at land from the shores. The cannons would still directly improve combat proficiency at sea while giving us additional bonuses at land.

[10ebbor10]

Maybe. We'll never know.

[Light forger]

Less then ideal but, oh well. In hindsight trying to flash freeze iron after it's really hot would shatter or crack it.

Crystal Plates (Lightforger)
A simple improvement of our crystal caltrops crystal plates creates a roughly door sized wall of crystal that lasts for a few hours. The wall is to be used by our artillery crews as cover against enemy weapons.

Votes:
Rifled Barrels
Crystal Plates (Lightforger)

[10ebbor10]

The plan was to keep it cold, not flash freeze it. But yeah, whoops.

Oh, and you have to add your votes to this thingy.

MK2.1 Antifreeze

Upon looking at at the design for the MK2, our engineers realized how silly the design was. It employed a freezing spell directly on the cannon barrel and implements a mundane steam recycler. This was entirely backwards. The MK2.1 Antifreeze solves the temperature issue altogether by moving a weaker version of the freezing spell to the condenser (and not on the barrel) and then having the return pipe coil around the cannon barrel. The temperature difference of the steam condenser allows it to collect much more steam and makes it quite cold, but not quite freezing. The coiled return pipe wrapped around the hottest parts of the barrel cools the cannon after each firing as very cold condensed water is captured by the condenser and returned to the reservoir.

the antifreeze is tempting I must admit...but for my second vote I will get fireballs I think.

keep in mind you can vote for 2, since we have 2 revisions.

[andrea]

you messed up somewhere. You added a vote to fireballs, but put your name next to antifreeze, replicing light forger.

You said we vote for two.

[evictedSaint]

In order to reduce complexity and figure out what just this next revision will be, why doesn't everyone propose just one thing and vote once?
