Re: New helm being Submitted to Compendium

Yes it is a serious question. I never liked the 100 ton rule and I know that
others on this list have had ships in there campaigns that are above 100
tons. I don't see 500 tons as being a "impossibly crazy amount" and with
ship critical hits it is possable to cripple a large ship like this. You
just have to keep in mind that the bigger the ship the more expensive. So
the nation building these ships may not have the funds to make a fleet of
500 ton ships. Hell they may not have the funds for many 100 ton ships. Also
because they are not very manuverable (and large) they are suseptable to
smaller (faster) ship attacks. They would make a great target for fighter
attacks escpecially if the fighters had some fire based attacks.

Is the above a serious question or should there be a ;) after it?
Because now you can move dwarven citadels with it.  Because now you can
move leviathans with it.  Because you can make massive, heavily armed,
maximumally armored dreadnoughts with it that are immune to anything
but ramming each other.  Because it violates the max 100 ton rule by an
impossibly crazy amount.  Because why have it in the first place?
