Of Ships and Girls and Shipgirls - a KanColle-RP (OOC)

Ah, it's the armor that's causing it?
I can totally change that, if that's the huge problem.
He'd just have no armor, then? Didn't think about that. Heh.

If we take the armour out and thus reduce the weight to more manageable levels, say 200 tons (the armament needs to stay, right?), we can make it a semi-displacement hull as well and can reach the desired maximum speed of 30 knots relatively comfortably. E viola - problem solved.

Alright! I'll try rid of the armor, change the weight a bit, and it should be good.
EDIT: think I solved it.

Wait, what exactly is the Novayan admiral asking Coriolanus to do?

The Novayan Fairy Admiral's asking if Coriolanus is interested in two mangas the Novayan ships and fairies are planning to make.

In making or buying?

Making. The purpose is to raise morale.

Alright...

I don't know anything about making an abyssal princess, so I hope I'm doing this right. I also don't know much about boats, so feel free to call me out on stupid things.

Personell file - Operational Sector Wide Sea - South West

Name: NMS Comet
Type: Does Escort work?
Class: Limerick-class assault and escort ship
Role: Sort of an anti-mine ship, as well as something to just annoy opposing forces.
Nation of origin: Republic of New Munster
Year commissioned: 1911
Image or description of the ship girl/boy:

(Image)

Gender: He's a boy
Character: Comet is the kind of person that will come up with a plan for anything, and everything. The best feeling in the world to him is when a plan comes together perfectly, especially if it's one of his own, of course. He'll even make up plans when it's not really necessary for him to do so. He'll have a plan just for going to the bathroom or whatever. Uh, anyways, he's also a very gentlemen-like...man. He doesn't butt into people's conversations and he waits his turn to speak, he'll hold the door open for you and his manners are never forgotten if you meet him on the battlefield. Off the battlefield, though, that's a different story. He doesn't prefer big, brute force tactics, but instead he takes a hint from The Greatest and floats like a butterfly, and stings like a bee. He'll attempt to go around you in circles and just pepper you little by little with bullets until either something hits or your hull breaks and you're sinking to the bottom of the ocean.
Special abilities: An experimental style of propulsion that's supposed to make him go reeeally fast, also a damn lot of machine guns.
Technical Description of the vessel:
The Limerick-class of ship was made in response to the First World War, where the chaos in the ocean was a force to be reckoned with, and the Republic of New Munster had to develop a type of ship to protect itself, as well as help its allies in the Naval Campaigns in Australia and closer to the Northern Island of New Zealand. That was where the Limerick-class was made, designed to be the most annoying ship that the navy could afford to make. It was incredibly lightweight, having the bare minimum of what a ship would need to stay afloat and to achieve basic functions, and its main goal was to pelt its enemies with bullets. Not necessarily to cause damage, though that was also a priority, just not an incredibly high one, but to basically annoy the other ship and to weaken its hull so other ships could come in and finish the job. It was a surprising success when they were originally released.
Though, eventually, people had started to come up with ways to counter the Limerick-class, and due to that their use in the war would slowly come to an end, one by one as the people of New Munster had no use for them anymore. The ships would slowly be salvaged for parts for different ships, or would be sent out as mere decoys. The NMS Comet would face that exact fate, being shot down by a few enemy missiles coming from a ship hailing from the French Pacifique Regime, and instead of helping the ship out, they had let it sink. A betrayal that Comet did not enjoy, so his hatred towards how he was simply tossed like garbage leads to him becoming a abyssal...prince?

Technical Data
Displacement: 200 tons
Length (overall): 115 feet
Width: 18 feet
Draught: 8 feet
Propulsion: Mostly guided by propellers and a few early in development thrusts. Very experimental, but he has, like, three of them, so it helps him go.
Speed: Uh...how's 30 knots?
Complement: can house at the most 75 me , if you really wanna squeeze in. Comfortably seats about 55
Armament: QF 1-pounder pom-pom. He has, like, ten of these at least. Lots of firepower and a lot of bullet hell.
Armour: You don't need armor when you so fast.
Notes:

A few sentences or an article, please.

I'm sure that it won't, once I get the hang of things.
So where can I drop him off?

[Regria]

Just wanted to remind y'all that Brightbell still has got lots of films at her disposal, though right now she's in her dorm room (as per usual).

[The Selkie]

I'm sure that it won't, once I get the hang of things.
So where can I drop him off?

Thanks. You drop him off in the Bay of Tears, where the Abyssal Supply Convoy is headed to, as part (or maybe even leader) of it, to meet Mestovakia's Armoured Cruiser Hime at the Shipwreck Islands... there are a few options.
I would like to ask you to withhold the enthusiasm concerning Lanza Blanca for a moment, though. Please stand by concerning that.

Yekrenia, I am not sure, where the Abyssals in this post come from, as I repeatedly stated, that the Abyssals are not following Lanza Blanca, so if you want to have a last blaze of glory for her, we can surely arrange something - maybe involving Comet.

Just wanted to remind y'all that Brightbell still has got lots of films at her disposal, though right now she's in her dorm room (as per usual).

I know - and they will be needed. Maybe one can arrange something once the Novayans had their anime and the kiddies (destroyers) have gone to bed? ; )

Well, first of all, no one seemed to take an interest in coming to replying to Lanza Blanca’s SOS (I see no post with anyone replying to my SOS at all). Second, logically speaking of course, would a lone unescorted pre-dreadnought battleship be a juicy target in the middle of the night (especially if it’s raining)? For crying out loud, there is so much wrong that has happened since I made my last IC post.

I’ve been patient enough, I will not wait any further when no one is uninterested to interact with my character. I know people are trying to get through Day Two, but I wanted to get some action going and prove that Lanza Blanca is still a worthy opponent even if she is old and outdated alike to other modern battleships. Plus, Lanza Blanca isn’t going to sink just yet unless somebody comes to tow her to safety in time.

EDITED: Lanza Blanca doesn’t realize that she’s actually shooting at a passing Abyssal convoy, not an interception group as she is lead to believe. Her visibility is poor because of the rain and malfunctioning radar, so she has no idea who she is really shooting at. Otherwise, she’s a sitting armored duck in the dark rain.

Very well then. Still, I would have appreciated you giving me a shout.
As for why the Abyssals are not interested in her: They simply do not have the ressources to both effectively defend the convoy and go glory-hounding. As the convoy is simply more important to them then a pre-dreadnought chugging around... it really needed that coincidence.
I'll have something up for you in a bit.

Ah, Bay of Tears. Yes. I'll do that in a bit.

I look forward to it! And so does the Harbour Demon seated there... ; )

I'm a bit intimidated to post because I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing...
I can introduce him I'm just...not sure how..
I guess just reacting to the Spanish ship. Not killing her or anything, maybe just telling Jem to cease fire, if that's what Yekrenia wants, that is.

No need to be nervous, ASO - no one bites (at least, I think...).
It wouldn't exactly be typical Abyssal Behaviour to ask someone to cease fire, in fact, they'd be more along the lines or returning it with glee. You shouldn't forget: As you are playing a Prince, you have a small battlegroup around you, a total of six other vessels (again, within reason and no other bosses), so you aren't alone.
You could have him debate for a moment about whether or not to engage her while he basically does a driveby-shooting of her as he passes, remembering the orders he has and the retribution for not following them. You could indeed make him engage her with his small battlegroup. You could be at the other side of the convoy and offering assistance to the screening force in combat. The options are limitless (or nearly so, but you know, what I mean ; )).

How was that post?

[The Selkie]

How was that post?

I liked it - very much so, in fact.

[Novaya Equestria]

Are we allowed to have make two new ships is a replenishment ship and a hospital ship? Correct me if I'm wrong.

[The Selkie]

Are we allowed to have make two new ships is a replenishment ship and a hospital ship? Correct me if I'm wrong.

I actually wanted to wait with that proclamation until Saturday, but while we are at it, and barring no major objections:

Amendment 2017-12-01: The Character Limit is lifted to six (6) characters. All other rules concerning characters are still in place.

So, Novaya, you can write the applications up, but I want to wait until everyone had a chance to raise objections, if they do not like the Amendment.
Either way, they will not arrive before Day 3 and the Supply Convoy on that day.

Well, Movie Night is beginning, so you could post about the arrival of Caty and K 591 at the Scrap Shed (the venue of the whole event) and their reaction to what's going on there.
That being said, I must agree with Kraicia, she looks wonderful in that picture - both her and the water. If I may ask for the secret technique behind that?

Try this!
To add foam to the waves, erase in the direction of which way the wave is crashing.
I should note I could put jagged edges into the waves because I have shading pencils [tortillons], and thats why everything is as smooth as it is.

Also, Kraicia, apoligies for the silent message I put out, but Catherine is just easy to draw for me. Plus, she's the most fun to draw as well.
If you can provide an image, I'd be willing to draw a ship of yours.
