Maelstrom Vortex Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Wanted to know my fellow rpers opinions on the Druk Yul air fleet as I go through the fact book and determine what revisions to make. Your opinions are important to me. I will not be voting, I think they're cool but they're not essential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon1102 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 I would like to expand why I said yes. The reason I said yes is because I think it's cool that you use airships but I would prefer you use an actual navy with only a handful of airships.

Maelstrom Vortex Posted November 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 So maybe bring the flotilla size down, perhaps use it as an addition to the navy rather than a whole flotilla replacement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon1102 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Yeah, it would make sense for you to have somewhere between 3-7 airships. Anymore seems, excessive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Vortex Posted November 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Yeah, it would make sense for you to have somewhere between 3-7 airships. Anymore seems, excessive. You mean specifically military airships right? I do plan on keeping the civillian airship fleet because airships have been used in that role before.

Dillon1102 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Yeah I'm talking about military airships. We can do whatever we please for civilian stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus Wilding Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 I have some reservations about these airships. For one, this poll has no "maybe" option for the last two questions. Second, how do you define "airships"? Are we talking Zeppelins here or your crazy navy replacement shebang? Third, how do these things even work?

Maelstrom Vortex Posted November 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 I don't see how maybe would apply to the last two questions. Especially the last one. I am mostly seeking for a positive or negative sentiment and maybe isn't an indicator of these. Air ships are zepplins. The navy replacement thing are supposed to be large heavy zepplins. I'm leaning towards phasing them out based on the feedback in favor of more observation, signal intelligence, and transport role craft.. less as weapons platforms due to weight considerations. They work like any other zepplin, density differences between gasses cause those of the contained gasses within the vessel to generate lift and load bearing capability. The types of loads that could potentially be carried are to numerous to fully expand upon in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Vortex Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I appreciate the feedback. Based on this I will be mostly eliminating the airship fleet save for their known rl roles.. particularly as signal intelligence and recon vehicles that serve at most in an escort capacity for my fleets and cover my shipping lanes. They will continue to serve as commercial transit. They will not replace warships. For military purposes I'll probably have no more than 10 signal intelligence and light troop transport dirigibles. I hope these refinements will make more people content and acceptable of them in the rp as they won't be deviating from RL roles and should hopefully be considered general canon when the revisions are completed.
