Ship Suggestions - Jellyfish - Or something like it...

Nadrynne:
Some months back I did a sketch of a ship idea I called the jellyfish. I sort of wanted to keep the whole aquatic theme going. As I have just recently got back into playing GoI, I thought I'd share my idea!

It needs a third engine I know. Anyway. The idea is it would be able to turn quickly but it would be very slow. But you could never "sneak up" on it as it would always have all angles covered. On the otherhand, they are only covered by a single light gun each. So it wouldn't be overpowered even if you put four old-version mercury cannons on it.

What do the rest of you think?

The sketch is below!

N-Sunderland:
I like the design, but I think that it would be OP. It'd be unbelievably easy to engineer on, with the hull and balloon so close to each other and the engines fairly close by. You could easily afford to have a buff engineer, who could sit next to a merc (probably the rear gun) as the gunner shoots it. Then I'd put a carronade on the front, and a flak or something on each side. You'd be able to get both into focus at once with the carronade's wide arc.

Nadrynne:
Yes, the engineering thing is something I was wondering. Perhaps if it was split into three decks with things distributed more (helm and balloon on top for example)? or three decks and the third engine on a fourth to spread things around?

I've never really played the engineer role as it is not my thing so I've given less thought to that.

The concept is a "tall" (a tall profile with multiple decks) and slow but fast turning ship. A sort of "sentry" ship if you will.

But we have the spire so I dunno if the whole idea is just retreading old ground, so to speak.

N-Sunderland:
You'd definitely need to put the balloon on a different deck, or else it'd get too easy. Maybe have a ladder leading up to it and the main engine above.

It's like a cute squished Spire <3
