I know. But we have other options then what we can get here. We could, for example, throw some purified Living Brass into the mix.
Sure, and it's all raw materials that need work done. That's the point of getting special, expensive materials, it's like buying off-the-shelf parts.

All the VS sounds like a mere requirement to build it, and arguably so does the Orb.

Living Brass shouldn't be able to handle it, besides.
 
Resilent Sphere is too low area to be particularly useful and using Wings Of Cover to protect a vessel that is the length of a american football field, half it's width and 4 stories high sounds pretty retarded.

I was thinking about reinforcing the hull with Walls of Force, but that would be prohibitively expensive.
Alright, fair. Like I said, this really isn't my thing. I know absolutely nothing about the engineering or where things should and shouldn't be possible.

On a different note, would you be opposed to giving a Wings of Cover 3/day item to the Harbinger? It wouldn't have to be built into it, and I imagine it would also cost a lot less.
 
Scintilating Scales defending the entire ship sounds the same as casting Fly on Queen Rhaella, honestly. Worse, as Queen Rhaella is actually a creature

Resilient Sphere would have an absolutely ridiculous cost, it's tiny, and would require the ship to stop or crash.
To be honest, I never understood the reading that the "tree" is supposedly the same as the Dryad itself.

But yeah. Counting any of those cold, dead chunks of flying steel a creature of any kind would be retarded. It shouldn't even count as a ship for the purpose of Raise from the Deep and similar spells, as it would be plenty ridiculous if you could use a spell made for a 500 ton galleon to lift the 10,000 ton Moonchaser, let alone the 37,000 ton Dauntless.

Brilliant Barrier Pin-Point Defense System. It worked for the SDF-1, it can work for the Moonchaser.

Each one would cost 5,040 IM, but it can be cast as an Immediate Action at long range. Put three or four of these on the Moonchaster and she'll be seriously hard to hurt.

It would also make a nice weapon. Place a Brilliant Barrier directly in front of a pursuing ship or creature, then watch as they plow into it at full speed.

If there is one thing the Harbinger really doesn't need, then it's more defensive options or more resilience in general. That thing is already a industrial strength blender and your best bet to stop it is to try and jam the blades with your face.

I'm just trying to make that thing as unfair as possible to face on the battlefield. I just want to unleash it on someone we hate and laugh and laugh. We can turn it into a picnic and run a betting stall on how long our enemies last.

So the Dauntless is around 200 meters long?
 
It's barely bigger than a bedroom's floor. It's 15.75 square meters.
That's plenty big enough to block an incoming attack. It's not guaranteed and would almost certainly require an opposed roll, but it's better than nothing an being able to use it as an Immediate Action makes up for a lot of shortcomings.

It's definitely enough to seal breaches though, so it would indeed be very useful when fighting in hostile environments like the PoF, PoW, under the sea, in space, Energy Planes, ec.

Trust me. It's already there.

No, it's exact measurements are 96m length, 24m width, 12m heigth.
 
Sometimes I think Russia exists only because of authorial fiat, that everyone needs to have a barely-competent and Chaotic Stupid enemy that somehow threatens everyone in spite of that, defying all logic and common sense.

It's North Korea's fault for its inability to be taken seriously.

And the fact that they suck at making nukes. Russia has working nukes. You could give a nuke to Venezuela and suddenly it becomes the big bad. In fact, I would shit myself if someone even less competent managed to get their hands on nukes.

I guess it's more dense than a RL WW2 era battleship with similar tonnage?

Yeah, since the armor is thicker and all around instead of just having strong belt armor like most WW2 battleships. Also, the armor is 10% lead to scramble some of the lower-end divination spells and psychic powers.
