So, how does it work?
walkie talkies? Not invented, the same with most things.
Got any ideas? Random funny things are allowed. ;D

it's Teenage Wizardry I guess :P

:o Or maybe people are just loud? But then the enemy could hear!

Keep in mind. Technology did advance over the years in the GoIO universe. Technology didn't progress like it did in our world, but if it hadn't progressed at all, there'd be no airships or scraps of huge metal monsters in the maps. Telegraphing was invented before the Great War, so I can see Radio being developed somewhere down the line.

That is a good point. I never really thought about that.

Also a very good point. From Reth's reply, what year is the GoIO Universe is is? Are humans the only life? ( Apart from birds you can't shoot :P )

And how is your keyboard sending signals to that person on that ship to move around!

I have accuse muse of black magic once and I will do it again.
The crew doesn't actually have a life of their own. They are ancient spirits, soul bound to the ship through dark techno-sorcery long since lost to man. Their corporal bodies have long since turned to dust. The humanoid figures you see scampering around the deck of a ship are but ghosts of those brave yet foolish individuals who volunteered to spiritually merge with these flying death machines. Ghosts have nothing to fear from bullets, flame, or shrapnel. Yet like any apparition they can not stray far from the corporal object they haunt. Attempts to win their freedom by leaping off their ghost ship are always met with humiliating failure as the dark magic rips the self projection back onto the cold hard deck it was so eager to leave. Only through the fiery destruction of the Airship itself can these lost souls hope to find the truce peace of the grave.
Once you allow for magic, much of the how does it work questions get answered.

This is going into my headcannon. The game has instantly become a lot more interesting now that I am a ghost

Don't know about the trailer, but motion film was around during the Great War, so we had video.

Film degrades pretty quickly though, and with ravaging dust storms jamming up equipment, and costly and non-obvious chemical solutions needed to create and develop film, it's easy to imagine it becoming a lost art.

it explains why you respawn when you jump off the ship.

Or some of the captains special reserve of moonshine!

I am never letting any of you near a roll of film...
-
Mayhaps some smart Anglean learned to copy and preserve the film.
-
You mean "Smart Anglean prisoner/slave" right? The smart Angleans are too busy finding new and better ways to murder people to bother with film preservation.
-
Bah, Angleans know how to reverse engineer old tech. That's there thing, along with being bloodthirsty merciless bastards. Tiss why I like them!
