Flying fortress

Sorry to spoil your surprise ... guess I was at least thinking of the right kinds of things ... I wonder if anyone else is going to chime in? If not, I think my character should automatically get the fortress!!!!!

I figured you'd have a keen interest in such a thing.

But you've got to get the right card, stars suit, even.

Yeah, it fits well with either of my character class thoughts ... if I'm a mage, then learning the magic to fly the thing again is right on target and if I'm a hero, then using it to defeat evil would be right on target. It could be the sort of thing that could even convince me to play the old wizard ... a little more RP reason for him to have been researching this kinda thing for a LONG time.

That would be an interesting take on the old wizard character. And a good reason to go for the stars suit (stats for the human).

I should reveal some important secret deep on one of these threads to see who is still paying attention :D

Yes you should reveall huge cool secrets. you never know who is reading and not replying.

After reading the conversation, i have a few thoughts.

if you have created these huge flying platforms for luanching attacks, it goes to reason that you would profit hugly by taking them by force. Jim's obcervation about the ships is most intersting since they simply float in the air and not the water. Defense would be critical. with the prominece of flying troops the fortress needs to be able to fend off large scale attacks. Ballista, catapult, and trebuchet seem to be approprate. Range and projectile mass seem important.

it doesn'tt sound like these things are meant to be longterm abodes. I like Marc's down and dirty perspective. Makes sense that these things were built all for business.

in the same thought, if these things have not flown for hundreds of years they may have be outfitted for more comfort.
