Ideas and Development--Story NES

[jalapeno_dude]

I like Leviathan.

 

[tommy_toon]

I like NK's Nautilus proposal.

 

[jalapeno_dude]

I like NK's Nautilus proposal.

Well, presumably there would be more than 1 of these ships...I'm thinking 5-10, and they should be shown on the map.

They would be great terrorist targets...

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Sovereign of the Seas sounds good because it hasn't been done before, at least not in common knowledge.

 

[Insane_Panda]

Well, it was the name of several British warships.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Well, I am obviously stupid then. But I still like the name anyway. And the rest are overdone.

I'm afraid we're getting off the topic again. Well, not strictly off the topic, but we are diverting our attention to secondary matters.

No, really. With respect the name for the juggernaught aircraft carrier dreadnaught hybrid isn't all that important a topic. Also, building TEN of the things is an overkill.

NK, we should have some final, concise ideas about the cultural regions, and drawing on that and the general historical premise that we already have you should craft a modern political map. Then we can go over every state still standing with some degree of detail, reach a final consensus on certain debated questions (but I hope that we could just accept the present Rome-like Mithraistish thallasocratic empire design), and finally start this. Otherwise we risk bogging down on the development stage and losing interest.

Please?

 

[Lord_Iggy]

So, anyway I could help out here, or am I too far behind the cutting edge to be involved at this point?

 

[Insane_Panda]

HMM GUYS. WHAT DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD NAME THE GREAT DREADNOUGHT AIRCRAFT CARRIER?

I DUNNO. I THINK WE NEED TO FIGURE IT OUT FIRST AND FOREMOST THOUGH.

IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

Nyah

 

[Insane_Panda]

Can I craft the political map? I am good at such things, and it would be fun. Just give me the basic outline, and I shall make my way through it.

 

[tommy_toon]

It is important for those of us that are plotting to commit mutiny and take the giant thing pirating through the seas

And you were discussing it too =P

And that looks so obtuse, ick >.<

Still awaiting orders for how I can be of service . . .

 

[Insane_Panda]

Well, thats the point. I wanted to bug das

Just re-read the thread and tell us what you think, we need more fresh opinions to see if any more changes are needed...

Can I craft the political map?

Do try. Problem is, we don't have an outline yet. So lets wait for NK to sum up the other cultures, then, based on the discussion before and on simple logic, we could determine which have been crushed under the iron fist of the Empire and which not. And then you could just make a political map out of it.

 

[North King]

How about naming the warship in general the Empire class?

The names of the various warships:

IWS Empire (flagship)
IWS Sovereign of the Seas
IWS Leviathan
IWS Nautilus
IWS Glory

More suggestions:

IWS Fealty
IWS Valour
IWS King's Mercy
IWS Pallbearer
IWS Invincible
IWS Invulnerable
IWS Inflexible
IWS Redoubtable

And furthermore, Empire Battlecarriers could be named after various battles in the Empire's history, ala America, or various generals, ala America and Britain.

EDIT: and I suppose I can get around to writing that summary of each culture. And maybe craft the political map while I'm at it? Or a political map and a cultural map?

 

[Kozmos]

I add my names IWS Endeavour or IWS Akira.

So what is this floating fortress thing? A giant mobile fortress that floats on sea, along with an air strip and submersible capabilities I suppose.

 

[jalapeno_dude]

Would you really name a ship Inflexible?

 

[North King]

I add my names IWS Endeavour

Could be good.

or IWS Akira.

Not good. Please don't get anime involved. Ever.

Battleship/carrier hybrid.

Would you really name a ship Inflexible?

Yar. I presume it means that it does not bend even in the most heated of combat, very symbolic of the Empire.

 

[Kozmos]

Not good. Please don't get anime involved. Ever.

It's an Anime? It's a name of a starship design I heard somewhere.

Also more names:
IWS Invisible (maybe a designation for prototype stealth ship)
IWS Patriot
IWS Supremacy
IWS Sea Snake

 

[North King]

Which is a Star Trek ship, anyway, thus, not a good choice for an Empire battlecarrier.

Yarrr okay.
