So is anyone else doing a rage/corn/greek picture or should we move on to a new set of words? (and how shall we choose them?!)

The Lounge / Re: Silly Ideas That Would Break the Game

How about a giant sling-shot type weapon that launches beehives onto the enemy ship, unleashing a cloud of angry bees that make doing just about anything really difficult as you are getting constantly stung.

Thanks all.
By the way, does an airship kernel have to wear a Tri-corn hat? =P

I was hoping this was a poll to see how many people would like to see a GoI PnP RP game when I clicked the thread. =P

General Discussion / Re: To Muse: Is KS a letdown, or an encouragement?
« on: May 21, 2013, 05:46:59 pm »
I think it should be seen as an encouragement. They doubled their KS goal (which is great!), and it just means that those other stretch goals will take longer to reach.
Though there is a temptation to look at other game Kickstarters and compare this to the huge success they have had (such as shadowrun returns and shroud of the avatar, etc), this one doesn't have the huge advantage of big names and huge established fan communities. GoI is pretty much carving it's place out from scratch almost.
The co-op mode is going to be a big help because it is opening up the game to a wide audience, such as people who are less interested in skirmish/deathmatch type games and more just co-op fun with a few friends. So that should help grow the community quite a bit.

A bit late with this. I wasn't sure what to draw but I tried to keep it to something done fairly quickly.
It's supposed to be a carronade that shoots corn. Lots of corn.

Yes, I have seen it mentioned often that it is a long term goal. I would love to "paint" my balloon and such. I think it would be more interesting than the standard blue-red setup currently. And clans/guilds could have their own colours/designs.

« on: May 19, 2013, 10:41:19 pm »
Well is putting a "ram" on the front of a ship a bad thing? For example the ram could take up the medium gun slot on a Goldfish. It would greatly increase ram damage, but obviously you lose the slot for the gun (a big downside).
Ramming is a valid and often used tactic so it is not a "no way" thing like with boarding. Plus a combination of good piloting skills + impact bumpers could render it questionable in use.
Not so sure about the axe... though if we wanna get into history stuff. Some large ancient chinese warships had these giant hammer things on them that worked a bit like that axe... =P

I don't know what program you are using, but if your brush options have an opacity function, lower it and try that by building up brush strokes.
Mine is coming tomorrow. I spent all day moving stuff over to this new computer so I'm a bit delayed. (on a side note: no more cloud induced lag in-game, yay. \o/)

Photoshop I suspect!

See my main idea is a ship with spartans on it. It is clear I'm going to have to move away from that. =P

Well not just on the gatling, but perhaps overheating on some guns generally could be a thing? And there could be a new gunner item which is a coolant thing?
Just a thought anyway.

Well I guess in this case the flamethrower doubles as a cooking tool.

The Lounge / Re: What did you name your ship and why?
« on: May 17, 2013, 10:47:09 pm »
My two main ships are named the Cloud Cutter (Goldfish) and the Night Sparrow (Squid).
Cloud Cutter because it cuts through the clouds, and also a cutter being a type of boat.
Night Sparrow after a certain Youkai, plus it sounds good.
My Spire is called the Orochi (a great sea serpent) but I think I have only used it perhaps once.
My Junker is called the Radiant Bee and my Pyramidion is called the Battenburg (my favourite cake). I've not used either. And I forget what I named my galleon.
