Freezing damage

Richard LeMoon:
If it was a heavy gun (which it likely should be), I would name it the 'Aquilon', Latin name for the Greek god Boreas, bringer of Winter and the North Wind.

Here's some videos of kids playing with 'gas duster' (sometimes called 'canned air'). You can pick this stuff up in the store, spray it at stuff, and rapidly drop the temperature of it. I don't believe the OP ever mentioned a freeze ray, but they did bring up liquid nitrogen which is totally plausible. What the effects of that could be on an airship are left up to the imagination.

For some realism to draw on, picture the altitude at which the ships fly, and seeing them made from wood and cloth. There's a lot of water up there in the atmosphere (look at planes and such; not the mention all the coulds). Freezing water causes it to expand, which can rapidly damage both the wood, cloth, and even metal bits (metal contracts in cold) if there's moisture between the cracks, crevices, and such. This can then also affect the machinery in a negative way.


Here's what I could find about liquid nitrogen being sprayed:

(Not super impressive, but still interesting)

The ally ship utility will not happen since it could be only guns on ship. and no restrictions on builds. which is understandable.

Garou:
Could we name it "The Cake Disruptor"?

James T. Kirk:
Really? Right before the GoIO Birthday?

I see how it is.
