I mean, from my perspective the AP value is a fairly significant part of why the armor's important, but I get where you're coming from.
Yeah, but we're currently 'poor' so that's a good compromise. Better auto-sealing flak-grade protection than no protection and/or no autoseal. Plus a pressure carapace of good craftsmanship is the same rarity as common-craftsmanship artificer armor so there's that.
And isn't Indaria going on an adventure with the elfdar during the meeting? She can get leave for that since the elfdar needs a bodyguard the Governor group is both larger in number already and visiting authority.
@Sirus: I forgot to say it before but if you feel like getting a power field I suggest a Rosarius.
And I forgot to ask but roughly how long has it been since Cadia's fall/the Scar opened and how is Footfall at the moment, Stirk? In case it's still up and running it might be worth a quick visit after we set up the extraction work. My current plans for acquiring ships include:
• Due to Navy connections, court any Navy patrol detachments who've ended up stranded over this side of the Maw. We have a big ship and a RT's means, so the commanders might take the offer to be part of the fleet due to the situation. Probably better with fellow Battlefleet than bowing to the Liege of Footfall;
• Non-heretical pirate ships either through offering them a change of line of work (since jumping as a group with our PC Navigator is probably safer for them) or by ambushing them near safe havens and taking their vessels;
• •
Some heretical pirate ships if they can be towed and be cleaned with a powerwasher full of holy unguents. The
Monarch of Whispers comes to mind, though that's a very dangerous one.
• The Breaking Yards at SR-651 (it'd take time for repair, refit and finding components though);
• The Processional Of the Damned (yikes).
