lets have a vote :-

[Danuary]

How can I be biased? I just joined the forums a few months ago, I really don't even hate navaros yet *yet* haven't got a reason really, besides reading some of his posts.

Whoever wants to be the DM post here and I'll start a poll thread.

[Dante]

Don't bother. You'll do for now and if you turn out to be bad at it we'll throw you out. :)

[fremfedeliteNIAC]

sounds good to me ;D

[Danuary]

who, me?

[fremfedeliteNIAC]

yea

[Dunenewt]

So can we post something more constructive now?

[Duncan_ghola]

I think we should limit the oceans, to the atlantic or pacific, to increase the chance of meeting at sea and battling or something

[Danuary]

ok, THis will be our suggestion thread, I'll start the new thread tommorrow, its almost 12 here.

If anyone wants to make suggestions (like duncan ghola)

just put it here in this thread and I'll take it into account.

i think all ships should be equal, if ones too fast it should have less weapons, nothing high tech, thats all i could think of at the moment

[Dante]

If everyone were equal then nothing would be interesting. Everyone has to be better at something than everyone else, but not everything. To clarify; If someone were to focus on speed then their offensive capabilities would be reduced. If a person chose to concentrate their finances on defensive capabilities then their speed would dramatically drop. And of course there are the extra ideas that everyone implements themselves to make it more interesting.

i think thats exactly what duncan said....

maybe we can have islands and stuff that we find and can board there for a while also?(small islands)

[Dante]

As I understand it he said exactly the opposite, that everything should be equal.

[fremfedeliteNIAC]

if ones too fast it should have less weapons

isnt that what u said? ???

[Danuary]

Sorry I Didn't post the thread this morning I was busy, all I could do was brainstorm.

Yes I am going to use that idea all ships will be equal in ways, I.E. say someone has a hydrofoil, all the ships weapons will be handheld or small machinegun posts due to the speed at which a hydrofoil travels, the submarine wich I am going to use is small, and agile, due to its abilities its weapons are handheld and take longer to deploy then normal craft, and being a submarine after it is hit a few times it cannot submerge, but mostly in this fic the weapons will be handheld, battleships WOULD be fine but I am not allowing them because what would be the piont of a slow gas guzzling monstocity that would destroy the cargo it needs in 1 shot, and not to mention any battleship of unknown alliegence spotted by any country's authorities, would be destroyed by that country's army before it could get within 100 kilometres of land.

Once I start the thread (wich will be tommorrow because I have more to do today) IM your ship ideas to me along with a small list of possible weaknesses, yes you may use hovercrafts and Hydrofoils. ;)

[Duncan_ghola]

Thanks Mr dozy thats exactly what im trying to say
