Pyro, I was wrong, I somehow though the darker stripe were hills or something. Still, by the look of the balloon, the blimp ain't moving. And something with such crappy aerodynamism cannot go fast enough to generate significant lift.

I guess their baloons just are big enough, or there are more of them (hidden out of view) maybe side-mounted balloons. After all, when you look at the Jenny, balloon in this world are much more efficient that IRL.


(Also, the BFG can hopefully pivot and shoot at the blimp. It's just that it was beneath the MP and so couldn't shoot upward. The other two turrets could though.)

[PyroDesu]

It's an SFG, Sheb.

And those aren't hills either. They're the bottom of the binoculars....

Also, remember, The Jenny is less aerodynamic than Abu, and is still twice as fast as HOPE. I would assume Abu's engine scales up as well as the size.

Ash, Aklyon's job description says...

Squad Leader. I assume that would mean he is one of the more proficient of combat personnel.

We managed to drive HOPE fine when nobody had jobs, I'd assume that it just can't be driven as well instead of not at all.

It surely is just a matter of driving HOPE to a firing position, as I think that, if Abu has any bombardment weapons, they'd be aimed at Machu.

That leaves 3 people, Adwarf to man the engine, Kirby to man whichever choice of guns he likes, the SFG or the Harpoon + Paired Drone Guns, and Bill to pilot it (Or Kirby can pilot it) and man the weapon(s) that Kirby isn't manning.

anyone like my flying fort?

[Sheb]

(I know. It's just that you implied that I didn't think about it before slapping guns on the hope. Sorry, but I did, my three designs were working.)

Also, The Jenny is way more aerodynamic than the AM. Those balloons look designed to slow it down while the Jenny's balloon is aerodynamic. And it goes nowhere like fast enough to generate significant lift. Plus it ain't moving, or the balloon would be pushed backward.

[PyroDesu]

Keep working on it, at the moment it mostly looks like some kind of castle built on sticks...

Also, PLEASE spoiler your images from now on. It's the little Black and Yellow circle above the text box when you post a reply.

[Drago55577]

i did and i will work on it, i spent about a minute or two on it, i stopped because it became extremely fuzzy

[PyroDesu]

Okay, new plan:
Areyoua, you get to pilot HOPE.

Don't ask why I changed my mind. Just DON'T.

[adwarf]

Okay no one, but me pilots Hope all movement controls are to be routed to my engine console, and anyone who I do not give permission may not touch it. I would rather not have my Hope destroyed again.

Weren't you running the engine?


The flat bit at the bottom of the binoculars is the ground

I just told Areyoua to stay. He IS HOPE's official pilot...

[adwarf]

Areyoua can pilot it until I push the engine as hard as I can go then I want to control it just to make sure no one pushes it to far. Sorry if I didn't make that clear

[PyroDesu]

Oh, this is gonna be !!FUN!!

... (You'll wish I sent you to the engine room on Abu to cause havoc, Areyoua!)

[Zako]

We can handle the engine, I am a mechanic after all, so I should be able to do so quicker and more efficiently than he ever could. So, when we board this giant blimp, assuming that we don't get shot out of the sky by their guns or their aircraft first, how exactly are we going to do this thing? Do we make a trip to the engine room on the way to the control room?

[PyroDesu]

No. I've concluded (With ya'lls recommendations, plus a bit of private GM knowledge!) that going after the engine is a bad idea. Best we go straight to the control room and get this over with ASAP.

If anybody shows up to stop us in or on the way to the control room (This is why I want an engineer, in case it gets damaged!), well, three people with shotguns plus whatever drones that might show up (Who knows), you do the math.

[Zako]

Ok, good to know. We'll leapfrog each other as we go forward, always putting an arc of fire on them so we can make sure that they don't survive if they find us.
