That's fair enough, I was thinking along the lines of car crashes in terms of survivability and first aid issues, but retrospectively that doesn't make any sense for planes.
Part of me thinks we need Planar-Adapting hazardous containment suits on the larger ships in small numbers, so that if there's a serious hull breach, it's possible for engineers to make emergency repairs even while halfway hanging out of the hull and exposed to searing flame or other scouring elements.
Wow, you are just a Ninja factory, aren't you? 😂
You even ninja'd my ninja edit.
Given the low number of HP they heal, I'd wager they will mostly see use in mending piping or critical components, but nothing structural.
There are planar adaptation crystals for that. If you want the real sci-fi space suit feel though, we should do the first Construct Armor research and use the Composite Armor as base. It's both valid holder for a Greater Planar Adaptation crystal and gives quite some AC in case of unpleasant things.
Yeah, we'll definitely do that. They were actually what I had in mind when I was thinking about this.
That's something to consider for the future.
Things like that get very expensive, though. It's like we've discussed before, at some point you've invested more resources into a single vessel than its actually worth.
A E S T H E T I C.
The lord is an asshole, but we don't typically execute people without imperial citizenship for crimes they commit outside of our territory. Given the world Viserys is living in, making a murder exception for being magically valuable is both bad a bad idea and immensely hypocritical. We can get what we want without hurting anyone with a little bit of extra effort or straight up bribes, why should we default to being a dick just because we can?
I was referring to Composite Armor, which only costs 2200 IM a piece and would be useful to have as a defense against hostile creatures while working, yet wouldn't impede the wearer.
Except Viserys kills tons of people outside his jurisdiction for a multitude of reason. Quite often just because they are in his way.
We could enchant an At Will command-activated Planar Adaptation item for each Moonchaser, but that would cost 5,040 IM. In the long run, that might be more cost effective if you assume engineering crews will be conducting EVA repairs regularly in Planes hostile to mortal life, but in the short term, we could use the same amount of effort to craft 36 single-use Planar Adaptation items and put a dozen on each Moonchaser. I'm not opposed to providing a command-activated variant, if that's how ya'll want to do it.
It was a bit overly convenient. In my head, I added that this wasn't their first clash, or even the 10th, but something that has been happening now for years, with neither being able to kill the other.
We kill people all the time because it benefits us.
I'd go with the single-use ones for the Moonchaser class and use the At Will variant for the Dauntless class. They are meant to lead squadrons, so it makes sense for them to carry the high-value repair equipment.
That's true, but those are typically active opponents of some kind. I'm not saying we have to try and talk down everyone we ever fight or something; just that we don't typically pluck people who can't possibly hurt us, and never really tried in the first place, off the proverbial street to smuggle home and vivisect. Our mad scientists might cheerfully do that, but I don't think Viserys would.
I wasn't implying such, but I think our life and diplomancing efforts are much easier if the old lord is just as dead as everyone thinks.
In my plan he's being fed to the Flesh Forge like all the other interesting creatures we've stuffed down its metaphorical gullet, not actually vivisected.
