Gameplay / Re: How does the Hull Component work?

« on: April 24, 2015, 03:11:35 pm »

No, the Armor-Hull component dispenses a very thick, fast-hardening goo-like substance via the pumps seen all over the ship to patch all holes and cracks created by enemy projectiles; even the Balloon component does the same thing to patch tears made in the balloon frabric. The vibrations caused by the impact of the spanner, pipe wrench, and mallet help keep the goo flowing along smoothly. As the ship takes damage, the goo needs to be helped along faster to keep up with the new holes and cracks being made. If the engineers fail to keep smacking the Armor/Hull component, the goo will dispense too slowly and both the armor and hull will be too weak to stop the projectiles from tearing through and destroying the boiler/fuel tank that is always placed directly underneath the Armor-Hull component - The destruction of the boiler/fuel tank leads to the following explosion and then death.

Sorry, but that sounds almost logical. I am afraid we must ignore you, and instead go with the hamster team.

What, no choice for Buff Hammer + Chemspray + Fire Extinguisher?

I feel like this poll is rigged...

People like you chose other.

What if, instead of four barrels, it is just a giant galling, and you are looking from the middle of the ring of barrels when you are shooting?

Seems like we are almost 50/50. A pity having to burn as heretic so many of you.

Almost doesn't win polls. Spanner-mallet does.

A theme for each faction, for each ship, would be the ultimate for role playing.

Scissors obviously has the best perspective on this game. Rock is too caught up in high level play to concern himself over what the average player's experience is, and nobody would respect the opinion of a filthy casual like Paper. I say Scissors should have a seat on all future design meetings to make sure that his interest are protected in future patches.

That is why I say a paper cut would hurt more. You expect to get beaten by rock and scissors. One is hard, the other cuts. Paper though, when you lose to paper it just stings. You can feel, deep in your soul, that you should not have lost, making it sting so deeply.

Spite towards the British who, all things considered, are actually pretty cool people.

I have no problem with British people. I think it is less towards one group of people, and more just general spite towards everyone who disagrees with us. "You don't want us to go to war? Well, I didn't plan on it, but now that I know you don't want to...". Thoughts like that probably fill all of America.

We already know you have wet dreams about Ind, we don't care if he's your boyfriend.

And yet you care enough to state your supposed lack of concern.

Methinks David is a bit jealous.

There's already a typhoon heavy flak.  I like maelstrom the best so far.

Oh yeah. Forgot about heavy flak.

Q&A / Re: Point of badges?

But that would only show captain. Leaves the rest of the crews awesome badges out. I would prefer Viking style, with all of a crews chosen badges spread across the sides of the ship, just like they used to have their shields.

It sounds great to me!

Though I think it should have a stormy name to go with the whirlwind.

Whirlwind ----> Hurricane.

Whirlwind-->Typhoon

Whirlwind-->Maelstrom

I like Maelstrom Heavy Gatling most. Has a nice, deadly, ring to it.
