Air force or Navy
Duzzyy:
Ok so I guess this is sort of therycrafting but, my friend and I have recently start to wonder if the ships we are flying would be considered a Navy or an Air force
One would think Air force because we're flying in the air (durr) but I can't help but think the battles we fight are move like naval combat more that air dogfights
What do you think guys?
Swizy:
Zeppelin were used in the first and second world war to e certain extend. This is basicly the closest our airships are.
My german wiki says
"Alle anderen Nationen verwendeten ihre Luftkreuzer hauptsächlich bei der Marine. Während des Krieges kamen insgesamt rund 300 nichtstarre und etwa 100 starre Luftschiffe zum Einsatz."
Translated it means everybody used their airship in the navy.
Duzzyy:
Sooooo... we're a naval air force?
Piemanlives:
Essentially yeah.
Gryphos:
Navy doesn't seem that strange. I mean, they're referred to as ships, with all the different ship parts on them like bow and stern, port, starboard, etc. and they basically manoeuvre like boats, just with an added dimension of movement.
In addition, in the faction feature for the Mercantile Guild, it explicitly states that the Guild has a considerable naval force, used to patrol aerial trade routes.
So there you have it, airships are considered part of the navy. The only trouble is differentiating between airships and seaships. Do they call both "the navy"? do the factions each even have a sea navy? So many questions, so little answers...
