Is that the standard North Atlantic camoflage pattern for protection against U-boats?

Das Boot in Spppaacccceeee!!!!!



Nice drawing though.

If that's North Atlantic camou, then we need a Vargr U-boat!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

okay..I'm biased.

Maybe a 400t Type-P Nishemani class corsair... :idea: :?:

Hmmm ... Labrador Retrievers have webbed paws and like to swim, so
a semi-aquatic Vargr subrace which uses corsairs partially filled with wa-
ter and attack their prey by harpooning it and then pumping water into
it to drown the crew ... 8)

Well, until somebody gets it right...

By which you mean the SDB as depicted in CT Supplement 9 of course, very untersea boot looking

I know that one well...... I was thinking Dragon or Gazelle next.
(time permitting)

Thanks

The Dragon SDB is a rough one. The decks don't fit very well vertically.

Arf... I don't know of this Nishemani you speak off. Point me in the right direction.....?

The shapes good, but it needs a couple of torpedo bays :twisted:

Ah, that one. Bit of research comes up with the Original version and the Jesse Degraff one... .

I never did an exterior view of mine, but it uses the same basic outline.

I see, reckon its not the most complicated of ships. If I get a moment, I'll do one. The Degraffe one has this BIG logo on the rear. Liking that. Not keen on the turret on top of the bridge..

Meanwhile very quick ocean render:

The Flaming Eye is the Vilani equivalent of our Skull & Crossbones. It is a symbol used only by pirates.

Like most others, I gave up on the idea that a Corsair could swallow a Type S whole and fly off with it. Any ship that could do that (that wasn't a IISS vessel) would look so distinctive it would never be welcome in any port.

I think it looks a bit like the Seaquest DSV of the TV series. I have been
tempted to design something like this for my water world colony, but the
colonists would not be able to pay for it within the next fifty campaign
years ...

Hey Ian

Hmm... forward torpedo bay, stealth coating, stealth jump drive, one big '88' mount - call it a particle barbette?.

I think the "Type U corsair" might be quite interesting.
Rust - what if any mods have you put on ships for aquatic-type capability?

I think my Phin Pirate character may have a flagship. And a German Accent.

Rust - what if any mods have you put on ships for aquatic-type capability?

As a minimum I usually moved the airlocks and cargo doors above the
waterline and added ballast tanks (or a "double use" part of the cargo
hold), aquatic communicators and sensors (sonarcom, active and pas-
sive sonar), an auxiliary hydrojet drive, and some powerful spotlights
and retractable robot arms for cargo movement in depths where divers
would have problems. Some ships also have "moonpool doors" for di-
vers or trained dolphins (not sentient in my settings) below the water-
line.

If you give your Phins a German accent, make it a Prussian one, and
do not forget the monocle and the "schmiss" (the scar in the face "ear-
ned" by mandatory academic fencing).
