Winter, 1890,  Design Phase.

Light Gun Modernization Project (1 die spent, 1 die rushed)

2+3+2=7/7. 4 PP spent

We quickly worked on the project and managed to finalize all the calibers included into it and getting them up to modern standards. Luckily, nothing more needs to be said as despite our engineer's extended time and long nights, we didn't suffer any defects, in fact, none even popped up that had to be fixed. We are ready to utilize them on both shore defense and future ship designs, or any future or present designs that don't have it, once plans are made to replace or add the current new armament.


It is now the Revision & Refit Phase. You have 5 dice to spend on the creation of new refits and revisions.

How many dice would it cost to add the new guns to all of our ships?

[Khang36]

1 each

[Naturegirl1999]

Add our new guns to the SKMS Serpent, SKMS Snake, SKMS Viper, SKMS Cobra, and SKMS Adder

[Khang36]

no it is 1 dice to revise the serpent class and minow class with the new guns it is not a dice per ship we refit

[Naturegirl1999]

Oh, sorry, so 2 dice to refit both classes, not sure what to do with the other 3 dice yet

[VoidSlayer]

Did we refit our ships with the improved range finding and armor?

[Khang36]

Did we refit our ships with the improved range finding and armor?

We only got the new ranch finders we have not completed the new armour yet.

any ways here are some of my revision proposals.

The Mk2 is an improvement on the original Mjolnir increasing the range and speed and replacing the black powder for lorem powder for the explosive charge.

with the completion of the light gun project it had been noted that despite having barrels that used less material than the old built-up guns were costing more due to the construction methods used being more time consuming. the goal of the revision is to improve on the manufacturing methods of the barrels to bring down the cost with out compromising the quality of the guns.

With new guns seems only prudent that we look into improving the shells as well. the program see about implementing the latest in metallurgy and steel forging techniques allowing for better amour piercing characteristics of AP shells and thinner walls for increased HE capacity for HE shells. Additionally AP shells will have a soft metal cap to help resist shattering against against hardened steel improving armour piercing further.

Since, unless I'm remembering wrong, the enemy warships are faster then ours, what I'd like to do is do an engine revision. However, my period knowledge isn't very strong. Does anyone know of a useful upgrade?
