Lore: Man-of-War Sets New Record


Last night players bore witness to a grand event - the record for most armed and operational ship has been set. The Tyrfing, constructed by captains Senarious Nex and quazy_crotch, was armed with 108 guns. The result - a ship with enough fire-power to bring down any vessel in one broadside, dealing over 6000 damage.

Using some clever engineering, it was made possible to mount large racks of cannons onto the ship. 90 guns can be adjusted for short and long range fire, while 18 are stationary. To operate the ships armaments, a crew of 6 must be present. Each crew member controls a module comprised of 18 cannons. The captain is responsible for steering the ship, issuing commands and controlling the stationary guns.

The Tyrfing's crew was made up of the original creators, plus volunteers, including Joey Skylynx, Dukeboys - Slug King, Karolis O. and O{courrupted hawk} Gtadrs.

The Tyrfing continued wrecking havoc well into the morning, until finally being brought back into port and decommissioned.
