    Based on what the Farseer told us, it's legit only Mars and the Federation who are still making them and Mars is losing the means to do so. If the Emperor (or anything else) doesn't destroy the Federation, I could very well see Excalibur as serving as the the secondary HQ of the Imperial Fleet aside from Terra simply becuase of the quality and quantity of the ships the Federation produces. At the very least it would definitely become a Segmentum Fleet HQ.

    The IoM canonically produced at least 20 during the height of the Great Crusade. If we were really stupid and only built Glorianas, we could make 21 of them every ten years once both shipyards get up to spec since they cost 15 points, and Excalibur produces 75 points with the Dominion producing 240 points.

    I'll leave the plans to people who have been paying attention to this quest more, but Biomancy, which is the manipulation of the flesh, + Pyromancy, which is not simply fire but also annihilation which would be useful when dealing with mutations:

The sound of laughter is silence and some of the taint is burnt away by the golden light before it becomes too much for you.

    and of course double Anathematic rolls to make sure as much as can be that we purge the mutations.

    Yet you've repeatedly stated your main focus are the fleet battles. But you can't be bothered to make it easier for voters to keep track of the fleet?

    Feels like a weird line to draw in the sand.

    I'm sorry my friend but how would the tail get in the way? or make her look anymore like a demon then she already does? She already looks like a succubus which ironically means she doesn't look like any other demon not even a daemonette
    but I digress also her wings aren't entirely without perks she can use them to fly like sanguineous ha they're even the feathery type! maybe they could share Wing cleaning tips ( wonder if that would mean she looks more like a fallen angel then a succubus? Hm )

    I think I prefere the other ship plan for a more balanced fleet when suddenly orks happens to us.

    I've to disagree here. The quest is heavily focused on the navy aspects of the setting. This means two things, first some players just wish to read the glorious list of ships we've and secondly, it helps greatly with planning what to build. Currently, most casual and lazy readers (me again!) rely on gut feeling and other players for fleet votes.

    If fleet composition wouldn't have a heavy impact on the outcome of battles it wouldn't indeed matter. But at this point, I don't think we will quickly burn through huge chunks of our fleet. I don't think anyone expects a list with ship names, but a simple one with numbers would make it easier to understand what our navy can and can't do.

    Evena very flexible tail would end up being in they way. Be it due to closing doors, laying on ones back, clothes...

    Seconded. Either the fleet battles are a big enough focus to warrant a list of ship classes and numbers, or it isn't a big enough deal and you shouldn't say it is and actually give some attention on other aspects of the quest rather than back to back fleet battles. You told us it'll be a fleet and naval battle heavy quest but you can't be bothered to actually provide a list of ship numbers? Which is it @Oshha ?

    I'm surprised it went so well, some casualties that were acceptable but the two nearly getting corrupted was way too close for comfort. But they managed to pull it off.

    I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. Like, I know the Emperor is set to arrive in a dozen turns but I'm wary of something big happening before their arrival that sets things back several steps since this feels like a calm before the storm.

    Mugshredda hasn't been seen in a while, and of course the gaping Warp rift that makes regular Chaos invasions happen, and the escaping Dominion ships comes to mind. Though that's not precluding other new challenges like the necrons we found deciding to attack us for being allies with eldar or having psykers etc.

    I just hope Bladus doesn't have to keep putting down revolts from the former Dominion territory, Drake saved them from being sacrificed in a planet wide murder-orgy but humans aren't rational so who knows what kind of enmity centuries of on and off war has built and anti-Federation propaganda they've been fed all their lives

    The QM does this for fun in their spare time, if they don't want to keep track of that in a list for us because its too much trouble we really shouldn't be reprimanding them. Its easy enough to find it out anyway, we have 3 cruisers, 10 destroyers and 4 battleships iirc (or 4 cruisers and 3 battleships, since the Galahad is kinda iffy on classification)

    To be fair, both Ajwr1993 and I have managed to write up the list of ship numbers (heck I managed to find the casualties as well). Big props to Ajwr for actually listing which classes we have btw. As long as Oshha doesn't mind I'm sure either one of us or even someone else would be willing to keep up an updated list of ships.

    I'm going of the basis that it's a cruiser since we've had it since the start of the quest when Oshha wrote that the only battleships we had were the Flagship the FSN Pendragon and the Camelot which we recaptured from the Orks.

    Edit: Looks like Oshha flat out refers to the Galahad as a cruiser. We just don't know what name-class it is since it might not be a Promethian. If it is a separate class that hasn't been named, might I suggest the Lancelot class or the Knight class? Since the early cruisers were all named after Knights of the Round Table?

    Fair enough. Though if naval battles are the main focus, ship numbers are a large factor in that.

    I don't wanna demand Oshha, I just find it a weird double standard and line in the sand

    Thanks guys, it's much appreciated.
     
    But isn't the FSN Galahad a Gloriana class?

    I thought so at least, that would place her above the usual Battleships that we've seen. As Glorianas are a ship class of itself. If not Super Battleship maybe something like the Dreadnought classification from Honor Harrington.

    I don't remember Galahad ever being referred to as a Gloriana. Only the Merlin and the Pendragon 2 which got snatched by Slanneshi forces.

    As far as I know, with the exception of the Star Fort Phalanx and the trio of Abyss-class Battleships finished literally days before the Horus Heresy, the Gloriana-class is supposed to be the largest class that the Imperium has.

    Would the Phalanx really count as a battleship? Wouldn't it be closer to a fortress like the Ramilles?
