Airships?

I can see extensive use of:


"Docility Assurance Field" to incapacitate gods and exalts both,


"Phlostigon Web" because of Elemental's problems with the substance,


LOTS of "Probablility Degradation Matrix", to scare away smaller gods and to screw up the attacks/defences/etc of any enemies,


"Essence Matrix Inversion Procedure", to reflect sorcery from those Siderials back on them,


"Machine Soul Essence Baffle" to maintain beachheads against invasion by sorcery,


And of course.. The Charisma charm "God Ward Projector". In heaven it won't stop them entering the perimeter, but they can't use charms or magic across the boundary.


Looking at their charms and Weaving Protocols.. the Alchemicals have a good shot at heaven. Damn, they're good.
 
w00t!


"Our dreams fulfilled, and the alabaster and pearl domiciles of our enemy in ruins. The spiders weave to our patterns and our lord stirs in his sleep as the prayers of the Star-children nourish him in this most critical of times."
 
Indeed sir ^_^ Bitch of it is when the power goes out and the Jade Pleasure Dome opens with bitchy Incarna whining about their broken Gameboys x.x

The Unconquered Sun, blazing in all his divine glory, storms out of the now darkened Jade Pleasure Dome and bearing a countenance of unexpressable rage, grabs the nearest Alchemical with one of his four mighty arms, stares into its cold mechanical eyes and in a voice, quivering with divine fury he screams:


"Do You Have Any Idea What You Have Done!


You Have Torn Asunder Millenia Of Labour."





He sheds a single golden tear, the rage subsides and is replaced with indescribable anguish.


"I Had Caught Them All"
 
just out of curiosity, how did we arrive at this point from a thread that started with:


Cthulhu said:

Just wondering, who here has used airships in their games? Either from Outcastes or possibly of their own designs? I've used the Kilas and Vedettes from Earthdawn as Exalted craft, along with my own ships based off Victorian ships of the line.  Twisted Evil 64 guns of pure mayhem. *Ahem* I digress though, has anyone ever used them to an extent in their games?

That's a threadjack and a half.


I'm a big fan of airships in exalted. This probably stems from the fact that I'm a FF fanboy at heart.
 
Well... Alchemicals can be airships...


It's been a furry day. Someone mentioned earlier today about having Ewoks in the Alchemical Soulsteel, and now Pokemon is the GOD.


Although from all empirical evidence, the GoD are more like an MMORPG.


The Maiden of Secrets is a level four elf.
 
*shudder* Evil things you speak of Samiel, yet they are true.


To Battosai, I love airships in Exalted, of any kind. I usually throw them in to spice things up.
 
Actually, she's clearly level ??


Wouldnt be much of a Maiden of Secrets otherwise, would she?
 
She's an elf, they're all secret-y, right? Eh?


Yea, Airships are spicy. And now that Battousai is here, he can explain why he turned up the opportunity to become an Air Pirate.


Why was that, Battousai? Something about Yu-Shan.


Check those glide charms though, as you're an eclipse.


"Trouble looms in my home city. I must depart! Glorious Solar Glider, Away!"
 
Nah, it's not that at all.


I'm just a discerning customer. I'm not gonna show myself in some pansy ass hot-air contraption! I was chosen by the US and there is no way I'm gonna make him look bad. If there are some rubbish pirates in the eastern ocean with a goddam Skywolf then I refuse to become an air pirate without


(A): A Thousand Forged Dragon with a many-roomed Howdah on it's back.


and/or


(B): A Five Metal Shrike


Travel in style, or dont travel at all.
 
True, I'd rather have FaFL's ship that's going to piss all over the Skywolf, being one third the length of fucking Juggernaut. Effectively a damn Star Destroyer compared to other airships.


But I have a story in which I had a group of PCs take on that mission against the pirate held Skywolf. Man...talk about an epic battle, only four out of the original thirty airships came home. Cannonade and circling while commandos rapelle in is an awesome fight indeed.

So what's wrong with the "Demon Airboat" design we came up with then? You can use that design to power anything, and there's minimal specialist construction, as long as someone has "Demon of the First Circle" or "Summon Elemental". You could make the thing a sleigh, and it would still fly, hitched up to 12 agata..


Exalt: Hey prancer, hey dancer etc.


Agata: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
 
Tsk, tsk, true evil lies in that image. LoL, but yeah if you want a demon airship, take the stats of that thing Dukantha uses in Blood & Salt, a demon molded into a ship by it's mother Yozi. Truly awesome.
 
Hey, if you learn how to make starmetal, you can always forge demons into your own evil floating airship...


And it'll be black starmetal. How cool is that?
 
It has been a good day for the Evil Players.


And I am going to do this, I think. Either to Battousai, or to Eccentricned. But someone's game is going to feel my elffy wrath in the form of a black, miasma filled, flying airship. And then I'll throw eggs at people from above, it'll be a blast.
 
Can't forget those eggs now, but seriously, a black Starmetal vessel good heavens. It will be the vanguard ship of the Malfeas Horde.
 
I'm telling you, it's the MM of the Infernals. That or Red/Black/Green orichalchum. As Memesis astutely proposed, the bonus to weaponry would be a willpower drain.


But the idea of a slick, alien-organic hull penetrating the air as it advances on the imperial city... the stuff of dreams, to be sure. Or nightmares.


In true White-Wolf style, I'd call my flagship The Miasma.
 
True, they do have some good names for some of their ships. Gah, I'm dreaming up an entire air ship campaign like another I had! Gahhhhh! Ever seen Last Exile, with their awesome air ships?
 
Not yet, but now I want to. Anime? I liked the ship from Escaflowne, and the one I used in my game had some inspiration from it. Nothing beats a Zaiboch Flying Fortress though.


All you need to make those things is some kind of Rock that floats, that you can strap your ship to/build a fortress on. Thankfully, and perhaps by accident, Exalted have provided yet again, as there is indeed a floating mountain in the Scavenger lands. Cut a massive chunk out, build castle on it, fly around with lasers-a-blazers.


With regard to The Miasma, Battousai actually read through several Exalted books a few days ago, and found that every one had used the word miasma at least once, and often more.


WW just love that word.
 
Yeah, they love it like the plague. But Exile is anime, damn good anime. Best ship designs and air to air combat I've ever seen, plus teh greatest fighters ever. Starfish, I wrote up stats for all of them, even an expansion on them, The Carrier. 2000 feet of pure mayhem.  :twisted:
 
Starfish? I'm not sure I know you that well!  :wink:


Although that sounds really good... I'm going to have to order it in, with my Anime-Store Clout.


It had better be worthy, or my wrath will be.. wrathful..


Black Starmetal Shrikes: Small, two-pod design. One pod houses the pilot, who directs flight from an off-centre position but directly controls the soul-guns from the cockpit. The other pod houses the souls and the soul-dissolution engine, which impells it at great speed from the mothership.


The standard line, the FS Bastard 340, sells for Resources 5 in three payments, and requires a recharging bay and a ready supply of souls to operate. Available from your nearest retailer, 1st Ascending Fire.
