So in other news, how do y'all like your Abyssals? I know a lot of more comedy-oriented comics and fanfic tend to portray them as being pretty nice outside of combat, while more serious ones portray them as being more effective enemies. While I do enjoy both versions given the specific context of the story involving them, I find I personally lean toward emphasizing their nature as a threat, leaving the factional alliances and friend-making to Arpeggio of Blue Steel. I'm not a huge fan of edgy and grimdark stuff, but I tend to try to write them just outside the darker end of my comfort zone. (I've found listening to hard metal, which is also outside my usual comfort zone, while writing scenes involving them helps a lot.)
(Whoops, didn't realize others had already posted before me. Personally I'd like to see the Nevada in something, for some reason. Not the most famous or notable battleships, but I really like her regardless. And of ships already in 'canon' so to speak, I always like me some Shouhou)
It's complicated since it kinda wanders around with me. Especially focused on how the story is selling them. Of course there are lines but it's hard to explain. Need to build up my vision more
If I was gonna probably write a story about a task force of them I'd probably lean towards them being more like Bad Company. Sure they're misfits and screw ups but they're very effective in a fight and the war is still going on after all. Keeps them having character and keeping interest for the reader.
Gotta keep the group dynamics interesting. Of course the surface fleets might think of them as being scary as hell badass elite unit but they're just cannon fodder which just are lucky or the reasons why they're considered screw ups maybe turning out to be useful. Now I need to figure what class would best be their Haggar
