@Boeing727200F So THAT'S what that is!
I assumed it was just another of your little armadas.
@LunarEclipseSP Why are you Large? It's no longer Tuesday so I need another excuse for you.
@Hooha12 I agree, but mayyyybe try to keep the criticism more directed at the ship itself/popular reactions rather than directly at Mr. Cheeto himself, or else the Mods may smite us.
@Monarchii I envy you.
"Retard" either means slow, or is considered a slur for someone stupid. In the latter case, as good of a word as it is, you probably shouldn't use it.
@TheLoadingGorilla It's a show of power when what the US needs is a show of stability. Naming it after the sitting president, who's already seen widely as self-destructive, is the exact opposite of good for the US's image.
@HuskyDynamics01 I mean, a traditional battleship would be a pretty nonsensical direction. I will be honest, I'm interested to see how it could go, it's just very likely to get turned into a corruption scandal.
The fact it was ever given that name is a terrible sign.
At least Russia hasn't (as far as I'm aware) come out with a Putin-class warship.
@TheLoadingGorilla Thing is, the only case where this type of ship would be effective is full-on, Capital-W Warfare.
Everything else, destroyers would be better. Cover more area.
So unless there's a plan to go out and pick a fight with China, kiiinda pointless.
@Boeing727200F or just give it a flight deck and make it Soviet-style. Missile launchers can go under flight decks.
Aviation handling in useful quantities can’t be done as an afterthought.
@Boeing727200F BBs are supposed to be named after states. Carriers are presidents.
It’s entirely improper.
Truth is it just makes no sense for peacetime. It’s pointless.
Just getting this out of the way:
Do not argue about the political backdrop of this thing. That would end well for nobody.
It’s stupid. It’s all stupid. End of story, nothing more to be said.
@FartResidue I think I’m your opposite.
New one actually matches fire rate, and has more heft to it. Don’t forget, the wing gun is a ~63mm cannon, not a 7.62mm machine gun.
@TheLoadingGorilla Yep. They’d only end after I’d put off replying for months and then eventually accidentally hit “mark all as read”. Dozens of notifications would be wiped. Including ones from other people that were buried…
@Monarchii I genuinely need to know how you came to be like this. Did you just sit around reading English dictionaries in school or something??
@Monarchii If you’re going for the wackiness factor (e.g. a lot of Japanese mecha), go wild.
If you’re going for the realism direction, make sure that what you’re making isn’t just a tank with legs, because 90% of the time it’ll be worse. They need to fulfill their own purpose.
@SimpleStudent What happened? I rarely leave the corner; it’s a poorly moderated hellscape out there.
Look east of Quesnel, British Columbia, Canada. There’s already several SP logos, but no SP2 logo. It’s grown a lot since the last update.
@Boeing727200F Soians fuckery. I’m “out” of the plane, but can’t do anything past that.
Soia’s idea of “leaving things be” is… inconsistent, incomprehensible, seemingly nonsensical.
Just how it is :/
@Boeing727200F Look, Boeing, as your friend it is important that I look out for your well-being!
More particularly, your well-being of not looking like a total ween in front of the rest of the site!
Drink the damn chocolate!
@LunarEclipseSP US I guess? Boeing sometimes draws stuff down there.
+1Granted, you're not in the alliance so you can't creepily follow them.
I've been too busy to play in days. Fun, but randoms in servers are less fun.
@LunarEclipseSP Hey, don't forget me!
+1But yeah I need a new excuse. I was lazy.
@Monarchii I dunno. Your fashion sense is making that call.
Just Google it I guess. I've never been good at defining styles of any sort.
@Boeing727200F So THAT'S what that is!
+1I assumed it was just another of your little armadas.
@LunarEclipseSP Why are you Large? It's no longer Tuesday so I need another excuse for you.
@Boeing727200F The what?
@Boeing727200F @LunarEclipseSP You are invited to add to the park I'm building east of the trees, so long as you can keep the style consistent.
+1@Hooha12 I agree, but mayyyybe try to keep the criticism more directed at the ship itself/popular reactions rather than directly at Mr. Cheeto himself, or else the Mods may smite us.
@Graingy I'm conflicted.
+1One one hand, battleships cool AF.
On the other hand, everything else.
@Monarchii I envy you.
"Retard" either means slow, or is considered a slur for someone stupid. In the latter case, as good of a word as it is, you probably shouldn't use it.
@Monarchii How what looks? Retro paint?
@Mrcooldude Why do you want to know?
@FartResidue Probably your speakers.
@TheLoadingGorilla It's a show of power when what the US needs is a show of stability. Naming it after the sitting president, who's already seen widely as self-destructive, is the exact opposite of good for the US's image.

As cool as it may look, it’s for when you need a lot of firepower on the cheap, not for when you need to preserve a hegemony.
@TheLoadingGorilla Battleships are warships.
+1WARships.
They make zero sense whatsoever for peacetime.
@TheLoadingGorilla The Orange announced plans to construct a class of missile battleships. In 2025.
Of course, they’re named after himself.
I feel like I’m walking on glass here. “No politics” and all but come ON. surely I’m allowed to call this what it is, right?!
+1Just getting this out of the way:

It’s stupid. It’s all stupid. End of story, nothing more to be said.
@L1nus Jester?
@TheLoadingGorilla Oh it’s nothing. Server handle loads more than a couple comments.
@L1nus Is it an F-14 or something to do with that text box?
Must be terribly inefficient.
+3@Boeing727200F I see… so they run on tires while using the rails as guides, not actually running on the rails…
+2Idk what this is but it looks neat
How do player trains even work?
+1@FartResidue I think I’m your opposite.
New one actually matches fire rate, and has more heft to it. Don’t forget, the wing gun is a ~63mm cannon, not a 7.62mm machine gun.
Double tap what?
@Monarchii Those are generally mutually exclusive.
Will they be equipped with retro 80s/90s fashion-style paint?
@TheLoadingGorilla Yep. They’d only end after I’d put off replying for months and then eventually accidentally hit “mark all as read”. Dozens of notifications would be wiped. Including ones from other people that were buried…

@Monarchii Oh yeah.
@TheLoadingGorilla Hundreds of comments.
There’s still a few more days on the Christmas Tree challenge, so go SE of the corner centre to find one to decorate should you wish to participate.
+1@SimpleStudent What happened? I rarely leave the corner; it’s a poorly moderated hellscape out there.
+1Look east of Quesnel, British Columbia, Canada. There’s already several SP logos, but no SP2 logo. It’s grown a lot since the last update.
@SPMistatopi yeah man you got it
@TheLoadingGorilla Small differences.
+1@Boeing727200F just like me fr
Well sort of but close enough
@IAmSuperCool The Nether.
@Boeing727200F Knowing my luck the jar is probably bulletproof.
I’ll be put back before long…
@Boeing727200F Soians fuckery. I’m “out” of the plane, but can’t do anything past that.
Soia’s idea of “leaving things be” is… inconsistent, incomprehensible, seemingly nonsensical.
Just how it is :/
@IAmSuperCool No this is Patrick
@TheLoadingGorilla You would simply explode.
@TheLoadingGorilla You cannot handle my unfiltered poetic energy.
@IAmSuperCool No that’s oak
@Boeing727200F What, did you just sit there staring at it?
@Monarchii The guh with depress-ion lost everything.
@IAmSuperCool Yes I that video too
@Boeing727200F Look, Boeing, as your friend it is important that I look out for your well-being!
