The Warlord is designed to enable fleets to cheaply and effectively deal with the massive super-battleships of the NS world without having to design and build expensive super-ships of their own. While the Warlord is neither the fastest nor most greatly armed vessel on the sea, it can deliver fatal blows to nearly any opposing ship with 1 or 2 rounds from its massive 25 inch guns. Belt armor more than 3 feet in thickness enables the Warlord to withstand nearly any form of attack.

You call one guy who builds a super-battleship a Godmodder, yet you turn around and offer ship built to face those ships in battle and you directly refer to those super-battleships in your promotional piece? Not sure I understand the logic behind that.

OOC: Uh, there are quite a few super-ships out there that are not god-modding, most notably the ships produce by Doujin. Those boats are approaching a mile long and feature several feet of armor and massive guns. The creators of these ships make their boats appropriately sized and acknowledge their restrictions (inability to maneuver, inability to accelerate or stop, inability to get near shore), unlike the godmodders of shipbuilding, who take a standard Iowa, slap nine 24 inch guns on it, several feet of armor, additional self defense weapons, and say it can do anything.

Oh, okay... I'll buy that.

The Doujin was actually the reason I had my eyebrow raised at your statements on both threads.

Glad I only build hospital ships and scientific vessels in my storefront. IC reason: My country doesn't want to be in the business of war. OOC reason: I'm too lazy to look up the specs for the kind of ships I would build and/or I don't want to step on the toes of some of my NS friends' storefronts.

OOC: Sarzonia, GM resisted and tried to disprove the Doujin many, many times :P But he stopped and accepted in the end.
