[You know what - he'll take that. He'll take "this device PROBABLY does not use explosive substance to stay airborne". Dimitri recognizes that he cannot be picky.]

I suppose you do have a good point there.

It is interesting, applying what I know of regular seaborne ships to one that goes through the air in an attempt to plan better for whatever may happen with it. For a seaborne ship, there is a real concern of water going up through the ship and people drowning. There is technically still that concern for this scenario, but it seems like the last issue to hit us if the ship starts to go down.

Having to fight against gravity in order to get to any exit seems as though it would be a larger problem. What do you think?

[feathersfly]

you're not wrong. people stuck inside the ships if they go down would have a hard time getting out. but honestly, depending on how fast these airships might go down...it's possible that people who aren't right near an exit wouldn't have time to get out, whether gravity was cooperating with them or not. i don't know how high up these things are planning to cruise, but it can't be too high or the air'll be too thin and cold for anyone to be comfortable. and lower flight means less time to the ground.

[Sometimes, Dimitri regrets going for a position of leadership and responsibility, even when he doesn't have to. It's not doing great for his stress levels.]

We will be traveling over at least some body of water. Do you think some time would be able to be bought if we hit water instead of ground? It is a ship.

[feathersfly]

hard to say. depends on how hard we hit and how solid the ship is. it's likely it wouldn't immediately sink, no. but depending on any damage done to it, how long it'd hold up in the water might be variable.

that's a good thought, though. water pokémon that know surf wouldn't hurt to have on hand, too. though the impact of hitting the water might leave people seriously hurt if they're still on the ship when it happens, assuming it's survivable at all.

It almost sounds as though it might be simpler for someone to blast through the hull of the ship with a high powered move so that everyone could get out quicker.









I was not being serious there, but I am somewhat frustrated and would like an easy solution.
