Wellington99 Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 W99; Signal lamps were used in formation sailing, although the Americans used TBS. Radio, otherwise, although that had it's own risks, of course. Belles, when they have a close relationship, can sense other Belles similar to how they can sense Morgana. It's not the same as telepathic communication, but they can understand something of the Belle's situation and feeling. Distance isn't a factor for this type of communication. Ok, so if a Belle wanted to communicate to another Belle, it would be over radio/signal lamps/signal flags? Do they have their own built in radio into their rigs?

Legate of Mineta Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 W9; Likely they would, or they might use the ship's radio. Some might conceivably have a radio set right in their gear, as you suggest, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninjapacman Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Here's a question, though I'm not sure if it was answered previously or not. Do ships that were scuttled have death dates, or do they have to have died in combat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Ninjapacman; If they were scuttled, they have a Death Date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjapacman Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Well shit. I was hoping I wouldn't have to worry about that for my precious Graf Spee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nel Celestine Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 I have a question. If the Belles are essentially manifestations of the spirit of the ship are they physical or apparitions? If physically, can they fight themselves in close combat? If not, will dating them cause them to fully manifest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Nel; They can be apparitions or entirely physical, and can change between forms as they please. Most prefer constantly being physical, however. They can fight in close combat, and are terrors. They shrug off most normal damage, and are essentially immune to gunfire. The only thing capable of standing up to a Belle in '39 is a Morgana... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nel Celestine Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Alright then. That works for me and an idea I was toying with in my head. Are the Morgana ships or being on ships like Belles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Nel; Yes; they appear on their ships, seemingly as Belles do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothings better than a little political intrigue and a little civil war! This is the kinda thing that drew me ridiculously into Sins of a Solar Empire:Rebellion...

Wellington99 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Has it been confirmed at all what class of ship the Corruption-class are? Right now the prevailing scuttlebutt is that she is either a light cruiser or destroyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 W99; It's not confirmed, I don't think, but I can do that now: she's a Destroyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
