But are you deserving of our respect? That's something we need to check out. I was once like you, you know. I remember when I was young and naïve, thinking I could best the highest-ranking crews in the land. Needless to say, that didn't work out too well. I wandered the lands, jumping on airships whenever I could, occasionally winning a battle after jumping onboard with some real serious guys.
That all changed one day when I crashed my makeshift vessel in the middle of the dunes. Now, if I was half the engineer I am today, I'd have the ship up and running again before it'd get a chance to stop moving. But no, I was just your average deckhand, and I was stuck. So I waited, and waited, and waited. I walked through the sand, searching for signs of civilization.
It took hours, but I finally found something. It wasn't much, but it was more than I needed to get the hell out of there. Three men, ragged and beaten looking, standing next to a downed airship. I shouted to them "Need some help with your ship there?". Turning around and inspecting me with the same air of doubt we have seen today, Zill replied "Yeah, engine's finished". I still do not understand what foolishness led me to what then transpired, but I shall never regret it. My mouth blurted out the words "I'm an engineer, I can deal with it.". In reality, I had never fixed an airship engine. My closest experience to doing so was playing around with a little propellor as a kid. Nevertheless, I walked over, all eyes fixated on me. I heard Yiski whisper "I hope this guy is smarter than he looks". I continued anyways. I opened the engine up and took a look. I was confounded by the thousand interacting parts, knowing I could never administer repairs on such a thing.
Fortunately, it turned out that the only problem was that a stick had gotten caught in it. I didn't even take the stick out. It fell out when I yanked shirt out of the gears it had gotten caught in. So there I was, a hero to them. I had no idea how to actually engineer, but I learned with time. I could go on. You think this story was long? Try listening to Skyraider's account.
So before you go ahead and treat us like a bunch of old nutcases, remember who you're dealing with.

Good doing business with you, Zill. You know, since Cogs is coming up soon, I was thinking we'd have another... arrangement. First one to be at the top of the table for five weeks straight takes all. Up for it?

Let's get one thing straight real quick. You do not know me. You don't know if I'm the most wanted criminal or the next Mrs. Universe contestant. So before you start slinging those warnings and calling me 'new' or 'green', you think about that.
This isn't exactly the most friendly bunch, maybe I should just go wet my whistle somewhere else...
* flips a coin to the keep for his drink before he walks to the pisser *
Look, you're standing in here with one hell of a gunner, one hell of a pilot, one hell of an engineer, and Furrymessiah. You'd better stop acting tough, or you're going to regret it. That flare gun is loaded, you know.

Oi, Zill! Where's my money? Something about me not being able to keep a Spire alive during a double Pyra ram? Maybe that rings a bell for you? I'm getting impatient, Zill!

« on: February 23, 2013, 10:22:47 pm »One of my first successful roles was as an engineer and I got an incredible rush running throughout the ship fixing things. I kept us in the air and the crew did their part... and it was glorious.
That's what I love about being an engineer. Your ship is falling to pieces, all hope seems lost, but you keep on making it hold on at the brink of death. And then your captain says "I'm not sure how we survived that.". It's just way more exhilarating than gunning.

Hah! You know I can hardly aim a flare gun anyways.
I'm surprised you thought I'd finally fallen! Me, of all people! Was it not I who once held a Squid together against an armada of raiding Galleons, using nothing but a potted plant? Was it not I who rebuilt the dreadnought entirely in three hours, despite crashing it in the exact same spot five minutes later? Was it not I who managed to keep my captain's Junker alive long enough that we defeated our foes with nothing but a tar barrel?
Anyways, it suffices to say that those raiders have seen better days. We were flying through the fjords, minding our own business, when a hundred, nay, two hundred of those raiders came flying out from behind the mountains! Child's play.
But that's enough blabber for now. I'll take the usual.

Feedback and Suggestions / Re: Behemoths of WWI
« on: February 23, 2013, 09:45:08 pm »I you carefully inspect existing ships, you'll notice the wepon categories are lighe and medium. No heavy weapons.
From what I understand or have heard (it might be just rummonrs, I'm sure someone will correct me on that), heavy weapons are planed to come with a massive airsip called Dreadnought. But they cant quite add them yet, since the current maps just aren't lage and spacious enough. The crew limmit is probably not going to change drastically.
There are big plans for this game, not just the pvp now implemented (despite it being a lot of fun).
You said that somebody would correct you. Looks like I'm going to be that guy.
I'm not sure about where you may have heard such things, but you may have mistaken a suggestion for an actual solid fact. The dreadnought exists, yes, but it's not flyable, nor has Muse indicated that it will become so. It's that huge wreck on the dunes. There's a whole backstory behind it.
Also, Muse originally planned to have three gun classes, but they seem to have dropped the idea (and by "seem", I mean that they've said so). And actually, if you look at the current guns, there's light and heavy. You've got the Manticore Heavy Hwacha, the Hellhound Heavy Twin Carronade, etc. Whenever somebody calls them "medium" they're just using the archaic term from beta. Sort of like when people call mercs "howitzers" or rocket launchers "missile slings".
Anyways, I hope that clears a few things up.

Personally I like choosing Lesmok by default, since it covers the flamer that the ship will most likely have, and it works well with most guns anyways.

Yeah, Furrymessiah is right about that one. But if the captain doesn't respond, just make the best judgement you can.
