My idea.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The Hyperion: Picture a plane without a propeller. Find for as little wind resistance as possible, a gavirtium/promethium engine. A.C. electric module coils with energy. For Caelium drifts based on electric current. While a souped Up engine and said current is mobile, never stopping unlike DC electric. This means all the steering can be done with a stick akin to a modern car, directing the electric so directing the craft. Cock out akin to a hammer head shark. For the guns, four suckles, two each side with a limited rotation gear fits off rounds. Said guns linked by motorized steering for pilot to do it. With another stick with four buttons. Said gunner will be conpilot and onboard engineer/mechanic. Lastly kinetic wool installed in between layers of metal. To soak up kinetic energy from impacts. ( as at this pint only thing that most likely would hit is kinetic. Unless they have flaming missiles or a death ray.)

Going for something that flies, needs two people at once. And guns should not be too bad. Because gigantic things in the air with gigantic guns is a bit of a problem right now. Resources and all.

Do not ask about the encampment Gun. I am interested in Man portable weapo sry.

Done.

Caelium airplanes could be neat.

Also, could we use promethium as a self-cooling propellant? Powerful, and the exothermic reaction of depletion cools the barrel.

@tryant, how does the plane fly about?

Two problems, one is with how promethium works, Either it releases all that energy at once, and in that case is really to much energy all at once, or it does it slow burn multiple times, in which case the cooling doesn't work right.
or B. if it does rapidly heat the barrel from firing, then flash cool it, that is a lot more stress on the barrel then heating up then cooling down. Also, cold metal is very brittle, the stress of firing could cause the barrel(and mechanism) to shatter

The AC current controls direction of the electricity. That controls where the Caelium is applied. Therefore I am using the Caelium with said electric like a old world gravity repulsor. Akin to a vtol propeller fan thing.

I have to admit a small amount of "I made it bias", but I'd like some explanations for the Orleans over the Hydra in the event that it convinces me. Still, the idea of an impenetrable barrier of eternal Fimbulwinter is neat.

So, this turn we will be conquering the two territorys adjecent to the north drossing, according to GM in discord.

As such, now that we have some territory thats probably going to be fought on, I think we can stop dumping entrenchment on the forest.
I think we should put it into the Plains this turn, Because the open terrain isn't the best for us right now. Mountains are better for use with our mobile machine guns, paladins, Wickerman and Paladins.

After that I think we should start dumping into North crossing and Plains, back and forth. Until one hits 2, and start doing the same with mountains. In the end, north crossing should be 3 (or 2 if we take harren before then) with plains and mountain being 2 as well.

EDIT: While it doesn't really matter, because we will have them by the combat start either way, I think we should get promethium this turn and cealium next turn.
This is becasue we are using lots of Promethium tech this turn. Including being part of my desired Paladin Revidion (Pizo electric small generator, K-wool under suit, and change the Helmet to be a full helmet, with inbuilt gas mask

@tryant levithian, apparently  caelium lift rods lift all the structure attached to them, not a localized field. I suggest a new technobabble explanation.

I feel like we're short some votes, but things look generally. Going to give until 5:00 PM Eastern US before I officially lock the votes.

Oh yeah, I should probably vote.

Vote deletion is bad. Still, the Orleans is probably going to win barring some miracle of nature, so here are my gripes.

This is a scout ship and support vessel. It does not need a lot of armor and K-wool. We're going to be facing machine guns and possibly AA meant to damage canvas and struts, and a full blown artillery hit is going to destroy a corvette regardless of how much armor you slap on it. The use of all the K-Wool and armor is probably going to push the availability of our airships down further.

And finally, my most important and damning complaint -- Royal Sky Navy sounds strange. Truly, a scathing complaint. Delving into the realm of grammar, yes, but it's not a navy, it's an air force. If we want a unique name or whatnot, why not Aeronautical Corps or something like that?

Edit: Wait, MoP probably meant 5:00 yesterday. Ech.

They've got caelium and promethium + some other super resource. I don't know what it'll be face but seeing as we've been able to make power armour I'm certain what they've made is going to be more significant than a few machine guns and light AA. If we send a lightly armoured ship against them it'll get torn to shreds. Remember that a large portion of the enemy forces on the battlefield will have line of sight on it and it's a big target. Planes dealt with this by small size, speed and altitude. We've likely only got the altitude if even. Which ever design we make is going to take a lot of ground fire. Armour is it's best bet for survival.
