You get yourself in a bit of trouble if you have devices that cannot run the game smoothly at the lowest settings under any circumstances.
I once had an old iPod way back when that was like that the last time I ever turned it on. That was well over three years ago.
@ThatKindaWeeb There's a difference between the evolution of language and the destruction of meaningful terms.
One is a neutral, natural shift. The other actively destroys our vocabulary and the richness of our language.
"Gaslight" has its own meaning. If it becomes just another word for "lie" then we lose access to that concept without running on in explanation, for it lacks synonyms.
OH!
As I was the account manager when the original was posted, it needs to be pointed out that the hull was a pre-built one!
Some challenge or what have you. It's been a long time.
This breaks so many vexillological conventions.
Maybe remove the small font text since it wouldn't show on a text block picture, but honestly otherwise this'll do fine since it's bound to piss off Grain just by how bad it looks.
The base colours are surprisingly not that bad... Look like one of those liquorice tube candies.
Perhaps we could use that prototype on The MBS Fillet's mast as a naval flag?
Again, great to see this here. While there's clearly work that needs doing (and sources to verify, and math that needs checking as I do NOT believe that weekly budget in the slightest) this is looking like a good sign for things to come. It's no Morrayge, but the implications for our naval power are wonderful.
Hm.
Notes:
Good to see, of course. Some support is great.
The scale, however, could use adjustment. The bridge, doors, and railings are far too small to fit humans. May need to be re-fitted. Remember, the seat part has a projection of a human if you need help scaling things.
The propeller pitch and turret turning seems to be controlled by the same VTOL action group. This is, of course, not goo as it impedes use greatly. Needs fixing.
The missiles are concerning. Where are we getting these? These things are clearly highly advanced with very high range. Tell me elsewhere how much these things cost, because I'm suspicious of who'd supply these at anything approaching fitting in a $4 million budget.
That weekly operating cost is also suspicious. This thing isn't being pedaled by monkeys, is it? That's dirt cheap for a lot of kit. You may have forgotten to switch a few units. Running efficiently with minimal ammo use (and no replacement missiles) would surely be a thousand times that. Remember, a cubic meter is 1000 liters! I've made those mistakes before and paid dearly for it.
It's quite quick despite the low power output. In fact, it has a lot of systems. Are you sure this thing only has 30kw? There's no shame in admitting to using a salvaged engine from another ship, so long as it's being done safely.
The guns concern me. Incredible muzzle velocity, fast firing, absolutely tiny. The breach must be the size of my thumb to fit in those turrets. And you say it's autoloaded? There's no way something that tiny is safe. I greatly recommend we find other cannons. Even if they're heavier, slower, and less punchy, the decreased risk of blowing up spectacularly (and likely also cheaper ammo)
Any other nitpicks... Doctrine!
This isn't really the fault of the ship, rather our procurement. This vessel, while definitely an asset for its big guns and air defense abilities, seems rather similar to a beefed-up Fillet class (side note: could use a name methinks). The Fillet, despite our need for speed, is not fast. That's on my, obviously, but it's a trawler. A hole is made with lightening speed, and the trawler comes in to exploit it. This thing would make a great heavy escort for the slower vessels, but for taking the fight more to Eel Protectorate assets I think we could still use something bigger.
I say a carrier of some sort. What do you say?
@Graingy Then you have to push more, it’d seem.
@Graingy Oh, go.
Not appreciated.
And this never happened!
That footage isn't real, either. The Fillet blowing up, that is.
@FOXHOUND26 Not always an option, believe it or not.
I have things to do.
@Graingy Weak insult.
lucky.
@Graingy I bet I know more Ances than you do, still.
@TheMouse Physics.
I somehow doubt that physics settings are a graphics setting.
@ThatKindaWeeb They can’t because they’re on break. They made a forum.
@Graingy Quite the opposite. I made sure to study English so I wouldn’t see a further drop when picking up Ances or whatever.
Oh, look, the entirety of the island of Krakabloa.
@TheMouse What even is the difference in physics settings anyhow?
@Graingy What do you mean by that?
Peculiar name.

@Graingy I've gotten better.
Anstrake did good things for me on that front, surprisingly.

@ThatKindaWeeb Gaslit? People were trying to convince you that you were insane?
@Graingy no
@TheMouse Not quite.
I'm looking to provide for the construction and servicing of more Fillet-class ships, as is linked.
oh
High lard content
Are those Bismarck turrets?
@Graingy no
@32 Probably not, but I suppose we’ll just have to wait and see.
Oof
That performance cost...
OH!

... Now that's something I'd love to have right about now.
Any interest in selling?
@Eggplant Probably yes
@Monarchii Did you bite the trawler?
What?

Now THIS is what I like to see!
Inspecting momentarily.
@Graingy Why are you still here?
@Speedhunter Terrible idea, go sit in the corner and feel bad.
Time out for you.
@TalonTheCRTguy he?
@Graingy Then shut up and quit commenting. You're obnoxious and not contributing anything here.
@Graingy Then get out. MWBS and neutrals only.
Have some sportsmanship for goodness sake.
@TheMouse Oh, well I guess that confirms it.
@Graingy Then why are you here?
@Graingy How else will I insult you?
I'm not blocking @OrangeConnor.
@Graingy Please stop.
@hpgbproductions I think stealth may be slightly more complicated than that.
@FOXHOUND26 Contact @Guywhobuildsstuff to join the MWBS. We're more assault-oriented, if that suits your fancy.
@TheMouse Grain?
Pfft.
@Monarchii Submarines are a separate item on the wish list.
@Graingy Very helpful, Grain.
