And specs? How high can it fly, cannon range, type of material, engine class, etc.

[Bulik]

Display of power. Kind of to show the island that they're there.

There are ways of displaying power without going to the top of the the island's most wanted list.

[Bane of No Isles]

"Captain, just in!"

"Flying metal thing added to top wanted list!"

Most people don't even know that airships exist. This whole thing will seem rather nonsensical.

[The Snark Knight]

Actually, most people don't even know airships exist period. The only people who will have seen anything like it, even maybe, are Skakdi and Vortixx. Because they come from advanced lands themselves.

[Bulik]

They will see it as a sky demon from karzahni summoned by Makuta. :3

[Bane of No Isles]

Precisely.

[Constructman: Black Knight]

... So what are the specs of the ship?

[Meta-Mind]

... So what are the specs of the ship?

I'm going to get all the specs and the like from KNI and make a wiki page shortly. When I do, I'll post a link here, so we can all check out the specs.

However, I know from my positions that it it has a super-advanced sensor suite, at least two primary cannons, and a lot of precision.

[JL v2]

There are port and starboard cannons, along with back cannons.

 

Err, Thermal Imaging Camera. Thats my second piece of tech.

 

 

Not sure if there's an armory for handheld weapons...

But why would we need it?

[Kaitholas Cage]

Rorl has one. Laser cannon. No ammo needed.

Well, it doesn't work in the cold and dark.

[Bulik]

But what type of cannons?

[JL v2]

Kind of like 2006 Voya's guns. Except bigger. And doesn't fire Antidermis.

 

Also, just a crazy idea: What if the Jhianil has a Bow Positron Beam Cannon?

Edited by JL v2, Dec 04 2012 - 10:16 PM.

[Bane of No Isles]

They fire enormous metal spheres.

Which, incidentally, are easy to make.

[Constructman: Black Knight]

So basically 18th century cannons?

[Bulik]

I'm assuming direct-fire then. Does it have a large damage radius, or is it a more accurate weapon?

EDIT: oh, metal spheres. Ignore the question above.

[JL v2]

Ja man.

 

Except fired from the sky.

 

 

And then we have custom tech. Lazer gunzzzz~

 

But if it were up to me, I still would have made a Positron Cannon on the ship.

[Meta-Mind]

Pssh, silly underachievers.  Who needs foreign tech when you can give both tech slots to the ship, and make an amazing sensor suite? 

 

...There are always new recruits.

*mutters something about neutronium and positron cannons exploding the instant they're fired*

[Meta-Mind]

*mutters something about neutronium and positron cannons exploding the instant they're fired*

*Mutters something about Earth physics only applying in Bionicle when Greg, or in this case Nuju, says they do*

 

[Kaitholas Cage]

When in doubt, earth physics.

And we've been through antimatter before. Let's not bring it up again.

[Voutok S'Tythe (Ray)]

I leave for one day, and suddenly Po-Koro is being attacked by some kind of flying metal demon [Airship]. Explosions loud enough to drown out the voice of an average Ga-Matoran are now blaring into the ears of a De-Matoran who, even with his what we would describe as "headphones", still has hearing about two times higher than the average matoran. This stuff just got real. >=)

Normally, I would agree.  But this is first and foremost a creative story, not a scientific thesis.  The Artistic License: Physics trope exists for a reason - and the RP's concept itself stretches physics to a degree.  Let it pass, I'd say.

And we've been through antimatter before. Let's not bring it up again.

...Antimatter?  I get the feeling that Nuju wouldn't approve that. 

[Kaitholas Cage]

It was resolved before he was online.

Two words: positron lightning.

[ZHX]

I remember attempting to get Tuck to approve antimatter torpedoes for my airship back in Derrum.

 

Fun times.

 

Anyway, we have a giant airship flying over Po.

 

And their goal is to destroy the headquarters.

 

Is anyone else seeing a pattern here?

[Bane of No Isles]

I hope not.

Do you see any other airships targeting Po-Koro?

I don't like competition.

[ZHX]

There have been two incidents in which naval vessels have attacked Po-Koro.

 

Both times, they assaulted the Guard HQ.

 

I consider airships naval vessels by the way~

 

Well then, it'll be difficult rebuilding it ...AGAIN.

[JL v2]

Where's Naona?

 

Also, a Positron Beam Cannon CAN work. We've seen it in Gundam Seed, which means it can. Quite simply, have it operate in a Vacuum.

 

So have the cannon always inside a vacuum, and then create a beam vacuum, slightly thicker than the beam of Positrons, and then the positron beam itself.

 

Then the moment the Vacuum is no longer there, BOOM! Everybody inside the beam dies. Everybody close to the beam gets Gamma radiation. And the flying airship accelerates from Positronic Interference.

[ZHX]

In Le-Wahi.

 

Your explanation is very complicated and unworkable in this RPG.

[JL v2]

Complicated? No. Impossible? No.

 

1. Make Vacuum

2. Make Positrons inside Vacuum

3. Remove Vacuum with Positrons not close enough to ship to do damage

4. Boom

 

Also, prediction of BZPRPG 2013:

 

Wanderers Company become Toa from the Mata's Essence Stones. They need to head to the Failsafe location in Le-Wahi for the crystals.

 

Heuani's true identity will be revealed.

 

2012 ends with the Wanderer's Company's transformation and a final showdown.

 

Rahkshi fights.

Positron = antimatter + theoretical + not known about + overpowered = bad juju.

Edited by Toa Kaithas, Dec 05 2012 - 12:53 AM.

[Nuju Metru]

There are too many scientific minds playing this game. It makes my suspended disbelief ache ever so much.

[ZHX]

Positron = antimatter + theoretical + not known about + overpowered = bad juju.

The truth.

[JL v2]

:/ Well, that's true. We know 2 things though: How it might be made, what happens when it touches matter.

 

Also, ah....

 

Respawn120K is our newest player!

 

EDIT: Maasi being killed. Good or Bad for society?

[Draezeth]

Are we allowed to control random Rahi attacks?

[ZHX]

Are we allowed to control random Rahi attacks?

On a really small scale?

 

I think so.

[JL v2]

Depends. Does it affect other people? If so, on what scale?

 

I mean, if you have a Tarakava herd attack only your own char, why not?

[Friar Tuck]

Ahhhhhaammammaauahahahahaaaaaaa!

 

Well.

 

Looks like I get to play a little bit since Nuju made a terrible mistake... and I get the honors of cleaning up this mess. I hope you enjoyed your airship.

 

[ZHX]

I knew this was coming.

 

But it's been fun.

 

So yay! Destruction! And death! And collateral damage from the ship falling down onto everything!

[Friar Tuck]

I knew this was coming.

 

But it's been fun.

 

So yay! Destruction! And death! And collateral damage from the ship falling down onto everything!

 

Whoa whoa whoa!

 

Who said anything about collateral damage and falling down? There are many directions...

You're going to THROW it into SPACE?

 

I love you man.
