Perils of the world-Life of a Sky sailor

<< < (3/14) > >>

Clara Skyborn:
Rejected developer terms for airship components: "gondola" (oh, yes), "lifting envelope"

Also the regrettably misapplied term "zeppelin" for the balloon, which still slips out once in a while (that's what's in the code).

HamsterIV:
I remember the original GOI had rigging instead of hull, which made a lot more sense. Those bullets are not going to permanently damage the hull plates, but if the ropes that hold you to the balloon fail, then it is all over but the screaming and the dieing. Also it made more sense to fix a rope mid battle then weld on a new plate of armor. 

Captain Smollett:
Other languages creeping in you say?  Someone get Zwaene in this thread, those fiendishly Flemish Pastafarians have some delightfully colorful words they use in the heat of battle.

Clara Skyborn:
Original GoI had rigging and hull both, both essential to survival. More ways to die!

HamsterIV:
I thought it was rigging and balloon.
