Actually, historically, DE-sized ships were better for fishing. More economical in fuel usage, and, of course, ASW gear (read: Fish Bombing) (No, it wasn't really good, but if you had choice between bad eats and nothing to eat at all....) (Nothing to eat, as in: Really considering sawmill as food filler).Yeah but this is fishing, not escort or whatever.
And Houshou is the momboat, anyways.

Go for it!So there's an idea I've been playing around with that's less Kancolle and more Arpeggio of Blue Steel
Basically after humanity's Great Revolt, they were able to negotiate peace with the Fleet of Fog. Not all of the Fog honored the armistice and those that remained staunchly loyal to the Admiralty Code were hunted down, culminating in their ultimate defeat at the Great Battle of the Solomon Sea. Most of the Fog loyalists were taken into custody by the newly formed Maritime Security Coalition: a joint organization formed to maintain peace and human-Fog relations. with volunteers from the Fog, the MSC was able to reverse engineer the union cores and mental models and form their own cheap -albeit lower performance- mass production Fog ships, assigning human crew to them to compensate for their reduced processing power. With the MSC patrolling the oceans and keeping peace between the nations. Humanity is in a new era of prosperity.
But appearances can be deceiving
The MSC is not as benevolent as they'd have the world believe. They are a ruthless organization that uses their monopoly on Fog technology to control the seas, and by extension the world. Both captive Fog and volunteers were subject to invasive and torturous procedures, virtually being dissected to be reverse engineered, as well as copied to serve as templates for the mass production of union cores. Countless Fog mental models were discreetly enslaved with subconscious shackles to prevent them from harming their MSC masters. Rumors began to leak, and the Fog became wary of their new allies. It soon became obvious that the MSC didn't consider them allies and equals, but hardware and slaves. There was a revolt, this time by the Fog, led by a fast battleship who proves herself an outspoken advocate of Fog Independence and veteran of the Great Fog War. Under her leadership, many ships fractured off into a group calling themselves the Free Fog, allying themselves with the countless humans who were oppressed and trodden on by the MSC and its quest to dominate the oceans. The result: a new golden age of piracy as the Free Fog fight the authority of the MSC.
On top of everything, a mysterious virtual contagion begins to infect the nanomaterial used by the Fog, turning their ships into twisted monstrosities and tainting their mental models, making them savage and indiscriminantly hostile (not unlike the Abyssals). With the Abyss Virus wreaking havoc on maritime shipping and the Free Fog trying to overthrow the MSC, the seas are divided, large swaths plunged into lawlessness and chaos.
Meanwhile on a remote island in the Solomon Sea, one of many whose beaches turned silver with inert nanomaterial after the Great Battle decades prior, a lone scavenger sifts through the silver sand, collecting nanomaterial to recycle and sell to the Free Fog. A certain Fast Battleship is cornered by the MSC not far away and sunk, her cargo washing ashore on his island. The find will change his life forever.
I haven't done any real work on this yet, and I would like to hear some feedback. If enough people are interested I'll start putting serious effort into it and post it episodically.
Hum.The story will follow the abyssals during the whole life of the game of Ygadrassil.
Oh. Ugh. I would not be interested in either a Quest or an RP. I'm here for fanfics, and not even CYOAs interest me.
Hum.
Just so we are clear, Overlord does not happen in Yggdrassil. Momonga and the Great Tomb of Nazarick were transplanted from Yggdrassil to the new world, which for now doesn't have a name (I think).
So you are proposing "transplanting" Abyssals to Yggdrassil, not to the new world. Moving "real" beings into a virtual world is different from moving virtual characters to a "real" world, and it brings its own share of problems.
First and foremost, Abyssals cannot live away from big masses of water, preferably seas and oceans. They, like the shipgirls, are beings made to move in an aquatic medium, and from the feelings I got from playing the game and watching the anime, Abysals are even more water-bound than shipgirls.
Also, you cannot drop just any type of Princess, she has to be an installation type and deploy herself in an island or secluded part of a coast in order to spawn moreoverlordsminions.
Also, will those minions be like NPCs, in which case they are considerably more limited in interactions than the NPCs at the new world, will they be sumoned as the equivalent of player characters, or will they grow into that once they level up in the game?
Oh. Ugh. I would not be interested in either a Quest or an RP. I'm here for fanfics, and not even CYOAs interest me.
You're welcome.Personal opinion is all nice and great. Gives me a push to take this idea into a certain direction.
Now, why would I drop them in Ygadrassil and not in the new world right off the bat? Simple... I want them to learn the spells and game mechanics of Ygadrassil in order for them to become a force to be reckoned with.
If I don't, it all falls apart the moment Momonga and Co bust into the scene. They all get raped and vivisected by Demiurge.
Thanks for replying.
Well.... That's their internal problem, although arguably Paul Allen started this as some kind of charity/ hobby, so it depends whether the team still had their funding and goal....
I think you meant naval, it's very different from navel.Judge Dreadnought:" there are two important things! your turret batteries, and the navel LAW!"
No, no. Navel Law is a thing. You simply don't understand how complicated the Navy can be when it comes to their laws.
Speculation below, nothing more.So I read a fic the other day and now I want to write something similar;
At first it was just admiration for the other shipgirls but it slowly changed into something vile and terrible.
Always fearful of the possibility of being caught until she began to gain confidence about it as time went on. How long will this go on for? How long before the lie that is her life falls apart like a house of cards and she is exposed for what she truly is;
A monster.
Now I just need to choose my antagonist and her victims.
