Who has the coolest ship? Do you have a map of it, a crew, some upgrades?

Show off your stuff!

The Geomancers have a vast floating mountain. It has everything a ship could need.. and somehow we've managed to turn the Guild Manse into an Aethership, while still managing to keep everything pretty much the same. The Conclave was a set of caverns within a mountain before. Now it's a set of caverns within a floating mountain. Fun. Only problem is when people take it off and leave it on the Earth Plane or by Nil, because then our novices can't find the Guild Willpower regen room... And, I might add, the Earth Plane's Aetherdock is a NIGHTMARE to find. Water plane has it easy in comparison.

Mine's sort of galleon-ish in design. I did some research into the Age of Sails, and nautical stuff in general, when rewriting it from my old castle. It doesn't have standard sails and masts, however, given that it doesn't need them, and it has sail-like crimson fins extending out along the keel. I tried to keep it very fantasy-ish, and stay away from technopunk, or even steampunk, ideas.

Mines a bit more in the Hallifax style of Crystal and Gem. Its always been a tower, so I thought that'd be the easiest way of keeping it as close to the same, and still make it a ship.

I wish i could afford to buy a manse and turn it into an aethership. The whole idea sounds friggin awesome.

Well, I think a lot know what my algontherine is... its essentially a rainforest habitat contained within an aethersphere. There is a Great Tree that grows in the centre of the forest, and by communing with various parts of its canopy, the will of the forest can be directed. There are some wooded caverns in which Elryn lives, a mountain range that divides a portion of the forest in which Jasper lives (its a little darker over there), and there is a lake which encircles the boundary of the aethersphere. Ooo, and an enchanted wood where the Spirits of Avaerin are closest to the physical world.

I'm still in the process of converting it from manse to algontherine though. And I have no idea where I'm going to put a ramhead. :|

Does what you want it to be count?
if it does mine will be a set of crystal spheres half full of earth each with the light of an astrological sign floating above it.
The crew will have their own rooms which they are welcome to add to at will, and there will be a public section with a shop and maybe some gems.
Fully set up it will be 13-14 rooms minus the crews rooms

I could make my spire like the windmill in "Feel Good Inc."s music video.. That would actually be kinda cool.

Giant leviship-like (Escaflowne) sail craft, heavily armored. I'll have a picture done soon and post it in arts.

Grr, that was something i wanted to do. tongue.gif

Actually, I was thinking of kitting out an aethership as a Culture GSV but the trouble is: they're fast AND they're big.

Think mines pretty cool...very aethershippy, but don't like bragging so those who have been on it can do it for me happy.gif
Saran2006-02-07 04:56:07

I'm afraid to see what Richter's done with my hull chamber.
