[wintry sonnet]

have you seen general lately

I dont think calling commanders perfection of human evolution is quite accurate

y

[lone sinew]

commander RKO beta tester

now i want a AL comic with saitama as the commander

you never see him cus he's trying to get that sale

[slow drum]

so everytime akagi/roon/taihou kills one of your ships

[lone sinew]

I bet kaga would worship saitama like genos does

[slow drum]

^

[lone sinew]

saitama would probably call QE, Deutschland, Sims and more a sassy little kid

defence fleet

[stuck copper]

Owo

Shou and Zui

Good choice

[slow drum]

I don't have them rip

[stuck copper]

I wish I had crane sisters

[lone sinew]

enty looks like a cleaning lady

[dim crystal]

even the eagle is miffed

[lone sinew]

I also equipped the entire fleet with fire suppressor & repair tool

[stuck copper]

Good kush

[lone sinew]

so when i have all their support skills at lvl 10

crane sisters get 72% damage reduction at max

[stuck copper]

Lovely

[ornate mantle]

Woah woah what the actual fuck.

[lone sinew]

commander is jojo confirmed

[ornate mantle]

Commander is an enemy stand user confirmed

[wintry sonnet]

Also Atago watches anime confirmed

[lone sinew]

[ornate mantle]

[lone sinew]

I bet atago cosplays in secret

[stuck copper]

why would she do it in secret

she is a thot after all

[lone sinew]

which shipgirl should have a cowboy bebop skin?

[stuck copper]

hornet

when’s that metal gear crossover happening

[dim crystal]

nah

how about

[lone sinew]

Give admiral Graf a handy man skin from BioShock infinite

[dim crystal]

jojo crossover

[lone sinew]

check memes

[stuck copper]

metal gear x azur lane with Metal Gear REX and RAY girls

[lone sinew]

WH40k × azur lane

[ornate mantle]

Beautiful ❤

Move it to #trophy-room

[crystal rivet]

XD ayooo

[slow drum]

the classy nya aka fusou!

I like this skin but no gems + money

[ornate mantle]

Funny, I named her Mama Nyaa, LOL.

Oof, now I'm tempted to buy the Qiapo for Unicorn. I think Chinese New Years event is fucking amazing.

[stuck copper]

are you serious, grinding 6-1 so I can retrofit javelin and finish starter retrofits and I get t1/2 garbage as usual

and on my last run for the day I get a javelin drop

[crystal rivet]

ooooof

[stuck copper]

the game is self aware

[ornate mantle]

This is a sign.

Oh hey, another Sandy.

[stuck copper]

a sign to not retrofit her and just use aya/laffey/z23?

[ornate mantle]

A sign that you're in it for the long haul.

[stuck copper]

[ornate mantle]

There are only two types of people.

1. Those who get it in the first run.
2. Those who get it 1 month later.

[stuck copper]

my friend has the opposite problem, he gets t3 bp like it’s nothing but can’t get t2

[half heart]

at least you can craft t1s

into t2s

[ornate mantle]

So, in total.

I bought 8 Skins today.

[stuck copper]

🐳

[dreamy turtle]

I really like the Unicorn one, probably gonna pick it up

[ornate mantle]

I wasn't going to at first.

But then I was like.

"I use unicorn a lot now, let's get her a cute costume aside from the Starlight one."

[stuck copper]

Aww <3

That is true love

[oblique mantle]

@wintry sonnet seen it already

Commented about it on jp twitter

One shot one kill Sheffield edition

[wintry sonnet]

I was going to grab Aurora's skin, since I like the current one more than the orchestra one

but now, I'm gonna save up and grab both duke and sheffie

they really did a good job encapsulating sheffield with the facial expressions + the coat's spot on

everything fits in like a well tuned machinery

[tough burrow]

both Spee skins

gimme that sweater

[dreamy turtle]

Are they both gem purchases or is one of them a mission reward?

[tough burrow]

lol

both gems of course

[dreamy turtle]

Ah, wiki says both are gems

[ornate mantle]

Go get them skins boys!

[tough burrow]

Spee's skin was actually in my "I need it" list

[ornate mantle]

Nice, you know what you must do then.

[tough burrow]

I need to add Sheffield skin there somehow

[ornate mantle]

This is what I have atm...

So I have quite a few ways till the next time I'll be spending gems on Cosmetics.

[tough burrow]

I also want Fubuki skin

[ornate mantle]

The Toot Toot one?

[tough burrow]

yep

[ornate mantle]

hahaha, that's a nice skin.

It's L2D right?

[tough burrow]

yea

also Gentry Knight, but I dunno. I don't like spending on several skins for 1 char

and Cleve has her oath skin

[ornate mantle]

That was something I was brooding over.

But then I think, "Id rather have all the skins I want in case I ever want to equip it..."

[tough burrow]

Shef skin probably decides it for me

[ornate mantle]

I have the Prinz and Atago Swimsuit skins, and that made me really hesitate on their new skins...

I mean, Shef only has one skin, so you're pretty much Golden in that regard.

I love it when the ship only has one skin, but it's a REALLY good skin.

Like Vestal.

And Fusou.

[tough burrow]

[wintry sonnet]

for now, I'm just gonna focus on Sheff and Duke skins

[ornate mantle]

Shef's skin is super nice though, the more I look at it.

[wintry sonnet]

Taihou and Vestal skins are future plans

nothing else comes immediately to mind

[ornate mantle]

Dukes skin is OP.

Coming out soon too right?

[wintry sonnet]

I'd be guessing we'll have both of them once we get WC

like we did with the german skins

[tough burrow]

yea, Intern confirmed we waiting to get a rerun wc

[ornate mantle]

Naisu.

[wintry sonnet]

also thank god for an adult destroyer girl

[ornate mantle]

OH SHIT.

Winter's Crown has Victorious!?

[wintry sonnet]

yus

[ornate mantle]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, adding her Casual Ware skin to my PTB list now then.

I was hoping she'd come later, I don't feel prepared.

[wintry sonnet]

I'm skipping her skin personally

taking away toeless legwear is tantamount to commiting a crime of a highest degree for me

[slow drum]

I first thought shed be another admiral hipper-class ship rip

[ornate mantle]

Hahaha, gotcha gotcha. I also want that Duke skin.

[tough burrow]

also Jamaica

[wintry sonnet]

Duke's skin is deadly

[ornate mantle]

Oh right.

Jamaica too.

[wintry sonnet]

black dress, fishnets and red toenail polish

all kinds of yes

[ornate mantle]

Victorious, Duke, and Jamaica skins are my Targets.

Oh thank god Duke is in event as a drop.

[wintry sonnet]

not just a drop

she's a box reward

[ornate mantle]

@wintry sonnet : A man of culture I see.

[wintry sonnet]

you're effectively guaranteed to get Duke out of this event as long as you play it

[ornate mantle]

Nice Nice. Easy spend on her skin then.

[tough burrow]

inb4 Shef refuses to drop same way as Ashigara

[wintry sonnet]

Should be fine on my end with the skins, got 728 gems, 500 coming up soon from the trade license

so at worst I just have to buy a 600 gem pack

[ornate mantle]

@tough burrow : Hold on have you not gotten Ashigara.

Because I haven't either.

[tough burrow]

[wintry sonnet]

Seems to be a common thing

seen a lot of people getting Amagi but not ashigara

dem elites man, swear to god

higher rarity than SSRs

[tough burrow]

I got bbKaga

and no Ashigara

[ornate mantle]

Hmmmm, I'm considering just making "Upcoming" skins the target of my PTB list.

Rather than every skin I want.

[wintry sonnet]

even excluding the light construct greek tragedy

[ornate mantle]

Otherwise I'll never see it at 0...

[wintry sonnet]

the past 3 events I always end up throwing away cubes just to get the elite

Nep event = had to spend 70 more cubes on Noire

KMS = extra 50 cubes on Z25

[tough burrow]

I managed to get everything day 1 on KMS

[wintry sonnet]

Even this event I had to do 3 more 10rolls after amagi before Ashigara

[tough burrow]

guess I'm paying for it

(although I got Amagi first x10)

[wintry sonnet]

same, I actually got 2 amagis on first 10roll

then 60 more cubes before Ashigara

you'd think with a significant rate up in elite pool, they wouldn't be this hard to get

yowch

This is why I don't want Yat Sen to be added with a construction rate-up instead of mini-event

I'd happily forego all the medals if it meant no more 300 cube sprees on an elite CL

and getting shovelled with San diegos

she can spook me when Monti gets added in, for now I just want my 17% elite chance

I got screwed over big time with Aurora and Ping hai

[ornate mantle]

I got Auora in my daily yesterday, so I'm happy.

Just raise up that Aurora too in case you ever need two Aurora.

Oof

[ripe mantle]

YOOOO

BOTH SPEE SKINS

[ornate mantle]

Hell yeah Man.

[ripe mantle]

[ornate mantle]

@last kiln Uhhhhh, I'm 3 Pur, 12 Bul

[ripe mantle]

Intern spoils us with both spee skins

[wintry sonnet]

nice of them to go with both right off the bat

now everyone can just pick whichever skin they want without feeling left out

[ripe mantle]

ikr?

Ofc cause i'm a whale i'll get both

but i love the fact i dont gotta wait

[ornate mantle]

@ripe mantle :

Go wild my dude.

[ripe mantle]

now can we get a spee swimsuit

[ornate mantle]

I won't be getting the Spee skins, haha. I'm not that fond of Spee.

Her hand design is absolutely amazing though.

[ripe mantle]

👈

theres the door

[ornate mantle]

Love those huge claws.

[wintry sonnet]

wait, what

Synd asking for a swimsuit?

Who are you and what happened to real Synd

[ornate mantle]

Dontcha know?

Synd fell

[wintry sonnet]

👈

theres the door x2

[ripe mantle]

I like 2 swimsuits

as long as the art is nice i'll accept it

i just generally do not like them

[ornate mantle]

[ripe mantle]

Jintsuu swimsuit is just lewd

so trash

[ornate mantle]

I like pretty much every swimsuit skin except a select few. Like the Ning/Ping swimsuits.

[wintry sonnet]

wdym it's lewd

I can understand why I would find it lewd, but how can you find it to be that

[stuck copper]

i was going to buy Jintsuu's swimsuit skin but I already spent gems on oil when I was grinding 10-4

[ornate mantle]

I was going to buy the Jintsuu swimsuit skin, but I don't like Jintsuu enough to go through with the purchase.

[ripe mantle]

👈
Theres the door

@wintry sonnet Have you seen it? And what the focus really is?

[ornate mantle]

The Elitists are out today.

[wintry sonnet]

I mean, I know what the focus is for me

[ripe mantle]

i'm always an elitist

[wintry sonnet]

but enlighten me

cause other than the feet to me it's just a swimsuit

[ripe mantle]

I'll dm it to you later

[ornate mantle]

Then you may have the right of way out the door first.

[wintry sonnet]

nothing particularly lewd going in it for me that would raise any alerts

[ornate mantle]

[ripe mantle]

i mean i have the skin anyways

[wintry sonnet]

ofc you do, you even have atago's skin, you tsun

[ripe mantle]

I gotta collect them all

my collector side pushes me to do so

[wintry sonnet]

actually, what are your opinions on the WC skins that jp's getting

[ripe mantle]

Gib

just fucking give me

[wintry sonnet]

all 3?

[ripe mantle]

duke and sheff skins ♡

i dont particularly like Jamaica lines

[wintry sonnet]

Ok, I see there's still hope for Synd

[ripe mantle]

they are kinda weird

man

Dukes skin is

whew boi

Then there's sheff's which is just great

[wintry sonnet]

ok, but you definitely dont like Vicky's skin

[ornate mantle]

The only skin I won't be getting from WC is probably Sheff's skin.

Don't like Sheff too much atm.

[stuck copper]

If Jintsuu's skin were live2d then maybe? Just maybe I'd buy it

[umbral rain]

Jintsuu

[ornate mantle]

I don't even think i'd double down if the Jintsuu skin was L2D...

It's just... Okay...

Considering getting the Nicholas and Warspite skins still though.

[wintry sonnet]

dont even have nicholas so I'm skipping on that one

[stuck copper]

[ripe mantle]

Vicky skin is cute

but i still dont know how i feel about vicky

[ornate mantle]

I don't either, but I plan on eventually farming for Nicholas.

[tardy violet]

new vampire skin is nice, it has legit sprite

[ornate mantle]

Oh, did a new Vampire skin come out?

[ripe mantle]

But the hint of thighs on sheff's skin is great

[wintry sonnet]

I just like how the outfit fits her

definitly feels like something Sheff'd wear

[ripe mantle]

^

[wintry sonnet]

not to mention the expressions

[ornate mantle]

Wait, are you talking about the Qipao.

[wintry sonnet]

I can already feel like a bad boy

[ripe mantle]

[wintry sonnet]

I see you'll grow into a man of culture synd

[ripe mantle]

?

[stuck copper]

imagine if skins counted towards a collection percentage

[wintry sonnet]

dont get cute with me, I saw that

[ripe mantle]

saw what?

[wintry sonnet]

do I need to ask Restart to post the log

not that I would, I dont want him in trouble

[ripe mantle]

???

Idk what you are talking about

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

I'll just sum your response with this

[ripe mantle]

Is a good expression

fits sheff

[wintry sonnet]

also I dont mind Jamaica's skin, but it's kinda lacking something to me

[ornate mantle]

Upon second examination, I think I'll only be going for Victorious' skin.

Still considering the Jamaica skin.

But the rest, safe to say I'll be shelving them.

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

I'd be getting Aurora's skin but I'll just wait for Sheff and Duke

after that, only 2 skins I need in immediate future will be Vestal and Taihou

[ornate mantle]

Omfg, Please give me the Vestal Skin already.

That skin is at the top of my wants.

[ripe mantle]

i dont like aurora's love line :/

[wintry sonnet]

oh, right

almost forgot I also need to get takago school skins, dunkerque's l2d swimsuit and possibly Ark's swimsuit

[stuck copper]

I still don't have Aurora

[wintry sonnet]

so that makes it 5 skins in future

[ornate mantle]

You've got your money cut out for you.

[wintry sonnet]

it'll be fine going forward, I'm not planning to go for many multiple skins, 1 per ship's fine

unless something truly amazing pops in

[ripe mantle]

meybe i'll put aurora low tier or something

i wanna see the new DD lines from WC

shes really cute

[ornate mantle]

Just getting the skins I want is fine.

[wintry sonnet]

I'm glad to see a proper adult DD

[ornate mantle]

No need to think too hard about it.

[wintry sonnet]

now just need to wait for a mom DD

[ornate mantle]

We have a Loli BB, so now we need a Mommy DD, LOL.

[wintry sonnet]

exactly

the universe needs to be at balance

in fact we have 2 loli BBs

[ornate mantle]

Technically 3 I think.

Well, we have a lot more than that actually.

[wintry sonnet]

ok, I guess 3, but I still think Queen's just underdeveloped, not a kid

[ornate mantle]

[wintry sonnet]

warspite definitly not a loli tho, just flat oba-chan

[ornate mantle]

So basically, a Legal Loli.

[wintry sonnet]

imma let you finish but flat doesnt mean loli

[ornate mantle]

I was thinking more on the lines of the "oba-chan" leaning towards age. Then flat being a secondary characteristic.

We have plenty of non-flat Lolis.

The most pronounced probably being Urakaze.

Akaga are the Foxes, Shoukaku and Zuikaku are the Cranes... so what are Souryuu and Hiryuu.

[wintry sonnet]

wdym

they're rabbits

[ornate mantle]

So that's what they're referred to as right.

[wintry sonnet]

even tho they shouldn't be because ryuu stands for dragon

[ornate mantle]

The "rabbits"

Or the "dragons"

[wintry sonnet]

I dont know what they're referred to in AL specifically

I'm just used to calling them nikkousen

as in 2nd car div

[ornate mantle]

I see. Surprised they don't have that defining name yet.

[wintry sonnet]

huh

there was an l2d update?

[ornate mantle]

Interesting.

Wonder who got the L2D.

[wintry sonnet]

either there was a new one, or they did a bugfix on some other one

tho i dont think bugfixes make a new l2d download pop in

[ornate mantle]

[ripe mantle]

i don't mind warspite

she's cute

low key hyped for her kai

[wintry sonnet]

wasn't that kai image that was flowing in general just a prank?

[ripe mantle]

she's still rumored to get one

so i'll hold out hope

[wintry sonnet]

I mean, I'm still waiting for any shoukaku skin at all so

I'll believe the rumours when I see it

[bleak condor]

[ripe mantle]

i hear shoukaku placed second on some list for oath skins. cleve placed first

so potential hype?

[wintry sonnet]

oath skin would be nice

that means I dont have to pay for it

[ripe mantle]

xD

[ornate mantle]

Ahhh, someone hear said it a while ago that the chances were high of that.

[ripe mantle]

so potential hype

[ornate mantle]

I hope we get an Oath skin for Shoukaku so much.

Zuikaku too.

[wintry sonnet]

in fact if Shoukaku gets an oath skin before I get to oathing Atago

she'd be my first oathed ship that has an oath skin

which she has time for cause my current ring's going to St Louis

next batch of 2 rings will be Atago and Helena

[ornate mantle]

I oathed Helena yesterday, so I have 1 more to go.

I was gonna use it on Deutschland.

Only 5 Affection to go Pog

[wintry sonnet]

I might include Duke on the oath list, depending on the new skin voicelines

I have high hopes

[ripe mantle]

^

[past kiln]

that new duke skin is full mommy tier

[lone sinew]

[wintry sonnet]

Amagi at 100 affection now, 95 on Naka and Ashigara, 91 on Hatakaze

I can finally start working on tirp

[wintry sonnet]

oh... fuck

I forgot C2 had a BC slot requirement

[past kiln]

Yeah, BC req for all of C/D, it's super annoying since I want to lv ships and have to scavenge for BCs to level

[wintry sonnet]

the irony is, normally I'd welcome a BC slot

but now almost all my BCs are 100 affection

except Scharn and Gneis, but it's not their time yet, especially for boss fleet

[past kiln]

I brought those two out for C3, they were fine at lv 50 for C3 boss surprisingly (didn't die, did not count on them to do any damage)

[wintry sonnet]

bleh...

I have to redo my entire setup now

I was fielding Amagi, Ashi, Naka and Hatakaze for trash killing and Fusou/Edinburgh for boss

but if I'm to move the trash fleet to the non-bc fleet, that means I have to bring both a bc and ca

I wanted to avoid using 100 affection ships for farming

[past kiln]

Wait, if you're affection farming, shouldn't the gain ship be on the clear fleet?

[wintry sonnet]

I'm assuming you're referring to the trash fleet as clear fleet

in which case, I am doing that

welp, I'll just grind ashi and naka up in B3 I guess

once I get them to 100 affection I'll have more leeway

if I throw a limitbroken ship in, I should be able to clear all 5 battles of C2 with the same fleet

which will increase oil cost but I guess I'll choke up that 5 extra oil at this point

[stuck copper]

did I hear shoukaku oath skin?

synd, I'm woke

i oathed her a long time ago would like to see her get one

[wintry sonnet]

I just want to see her get any skin at this point

she was in top 10 popularity in JP and yet she's got no skins whatsoever, what kind of shit is this

[past kiln]

Possibly issues recommissioning the artist, plus she's an event ship which means you almost have to release her skins only when there's an event or some people will get very confused

[wintry sonnet]

wasn't she added to JP permanently tho

[past kiln]

Oh right, that's a thing

[wintry sonnet]

I mean, I can understand the artist bit potentially

actually, lemme see how her artist's doing

no wait, it's still bullshit

cause Shoukaku's done by Enka

and Enka did Duke

[past kiln]

Maybe one's in the works then, given she's in normal cons now

[wintry sonnet]

and Duke's getting a skin now

ergo, bullshit Yostar

[past kiln]

Lol, Duke take priority I guess

with her event rerunning and all

[wintry sonnet]

Wales also, incidentally

done by Enka

and got a skin recently

I demand satisfaction Yostar REEEEEEE cough

[stuck copper]

yeah was gonna say

[past kiln]

HMS bias for once?

[stuck copper]

Enka already made two skins for PoW

and none for crane sisters

[wintry sonnet]

not to mention, Shoukaku was higher up in popularity than Akagi

[stuck copper]

wait, what's this about duke getting a skin

[wintry sonnet]

meanwhile, Akagi's got 2 skins AND an oath skin

[stuck copper]

did I miss it alongside the Victorious announcement

[wintry sonnet]

Enough with the fox bias

[stuck copper]

enough with the yandere bias at that

Taihou stole the show

[stuck copper]

poor Essex

[wintry sonnet]

enjoy, comrade

This must be the work of enemy atago

We need our ZA WARUDO skills

[ornate mantle]

BB Kaga has those.

[stuck copper]

No, I mean, the skill for us Commanders

Another one that could rival Lusty

[lone sinew]

akaga plz

[toxic scroll]

kaga cheated

obviously

trying to think of an ex map team

tirp, akaga, and idk who on escort

maybe

prolly Helena

hmmm

i forgot my kaga is level 71

and no tirp

because wasted skill

hood and wash i guess

and ent instead of akagi now

[toxic scroll]

god my EX map slots are awful

[lone sinew]

akaga, enty Helena, aya, laffey

[toxic scroll]

my EX ship slots are

BB, BB/BC

[lone sinew]

oof

[toxic scroll]

which is more than enough

to ruin it

[lone sinew]

I thought EX didn't have requirements for the fleet

[toxic scroll]

p sure they always have

so i said

no

and am trying

Tirp, Shouhou, Prinz, Aya

if my unicorn was level 100 i'd use her

but she's still 89

[wintry sonnet]

dont buy the new skin box guys

people reporting that they dont receive anything from it

[lone sinew]

maybe they have all the skins

[wintry sonnet]

they can't

the boxes changed

it's the boar skins now

also they're not discounted which might be a bug in it of itself

[toxic scroll]

I RAN OUT OF TIME

AT JUST AMAGI WITH 3 BARS

to be fair

i was playing like a lil bitch

so i can make it go faster

also there's a new skin box lmao what

and actually i think shouhou is the better choice

since she has a dive and a torp while unicorn has a fighter as one of her planes

excuse me

is there any reason or incentive to 100% the ex map?

[torn sorrel]

320 cubles

Amagi

hasn't come

[toxic scroll]

oof

idk how many cubes i used

~100?

[torn sorrel]

It's a rough estimate given how many 10-pulls I've done

[toxic scroll]

on pure event build

[torn sorrel]

But this just makes me angry

[toxic scroll]

remember that the game has desire sensors

if you go in wanting Kaga

your chances of getting Amagi go up

[torn sorrel]

I'm very very careful not to make threats to drop the game

I'm just an F2P player

[toxic scroll]

I feel like it's almost guaranteed this event will get a rerun

[torn sorrel]

I know this event will probably get a rerun

I just don't want to have to stress over this next time around

[toxic scroll]

first hard mode run

T3 DD print

[fleet lantern]

TIL, you can already read the rest of story

[toxic scroll]

i'm not even reading them tbh

[vital edge]

I skip them till I feel like reading through them, so I won't be making use of that info

[fleet lantern]

Well, i got bored and try to read them then stumble into this. So.., we're at same boat on this

[toxic scroll]

at least if i forget about the event skin

i won't care too much

because i don't use Kisaragi outside of comms

[dim crystal]

I'd

[toxic scroll]

?

[toxic scroll]

someone finish farming event tokens for me

in hindsight i should've done this before the spring semester started up

but my hindsight is 10/20

200% salary

[toxic scroll]

lemme hit you with that

[dim crystal]

I'm only at 35k points

probably would reach 55k at the end of the event

[wintry sonnet]

sometimes it feels like this game's selfaware

I just mlbed Amagi, did my daily construct... amagi

can we rollback the server so I can get my purins back

wait so if i got this correct, sandy's skill gives entire fleet 50% more AA for ?sec and if CV's AA reduce the damage planes do to them

@lone sinew That is correct

AA as a stat is basically how much damage one does to planes as well as damage reduction

Make your bets ladies

We are going to have another SSR into the ultra retrofit train

[dreamy turtle]

Hm, chinese sister retros

But when do we get Yat Sen?

[stuck copper]

i think next week(?)

[tough burrow]

Doubt. My guess would be after Spee.

Or even never

But don't think they'll run 2 mini-events at the same time

[stuck copper]

spee is definitely next

[tough burrow]

Well, they literally told us when is Spee

[stuck copper]

after that, it depends entirely on what they want to do. i dont think we'll get overlapping events either.

WC at the end of the month, so probably on the last week

not a whole lot of time left in feb

i honestly dont think we need 3 weeks for spee, but whatever...

[tough burrow]

Spee is 1 week long

She will be available for a limited-time from 1/31 to 2/7

[crisp palm]

well you can farm sp3 for quad mag if that is your fancy

[dreamy turtle]

gotta do it 30 times anyway, hope for some prints

[crisp palm]

10 10 20 20

60 times total

[dreamy turtle]

isn't it 10/20/30 for sp1/2/3?

I'll have to look at wiki again

[dreamy turtle]

Ah, 10 10 20 20

okay cool

[crisp palm]

more quad mag is cool with me either way

got 9 atm

[ripe mantle]

Whoz gonna try to build spee ?

[stuck copper]

spee is a good girl

[stuck copper]

A good question

I will probably just farm for her

[tardy violet]

Gib ashigara plox, so I can save my cube

[stuck copper]

spee is only one week? good. i dont really pay attention to the duration since i always get everything asap.

enough time to squeeze in yat sen then.

[wintry sonnet]

China retros

so glad I didnt burn through my cruiser bps to catch up on collection

I just got mine to 10 skills and lvl 100

so they're all locked and ready

wait, what color is the retrofit skill

red

oi, pizdec

I guess I have to start stockpiling red books

only change on my side is that now I have too many blue books

Ah

on my end, academy's going at full gear

unless I'm asleep, there's always someone inside

either to max out, or to get to lvl 5 skill for the minimum benefit

yeah, red and yellows always eat away at you, while blues are hard to come by

[dreamy turtle]

Mmm, more red/yellow to use

[crisp palm]

for me i have more yellow and blue then red lel

thinking of maxing flecther due to the amount of yellow i got

zzz

got shit to lvl so why not

my fletcher are at 80+ too

the common anyway

charles and nicholas already 100

not to mention the huge influx of china trio since we got their kai next

still dk why ppl get excited over some cock roach trio lel

[toxic scroll]

T4 box comm

Neat

I guess

[crisp palm]

and get a purple gear from a gold box

thug life

[ripe mantle]

oh china lolis got retro

cool

Lf> hyuuga and newcastle kai tho

[wintry sonnet]

I'm glad they're getting a retro already

cause it means Yat Sen's not far away

also I can 3* world 6 HM with no worries now, since I'm good on cruiser prints

[lone sinew]

only bp i always need is DD

[toxic scroll]

You don't need a lot of BPs if you don't retro ships you don't use

[ripe mantle]

i have 9 cruiser bps

[toxic scroll]

I still have all 3 gold of all in shop

And I only do like 1 hardmode run a day

For event mission

[fleet lantern]

Nice, hai's got retro. Now time to use all of my book for them

[stuck copper]

as soon as I stop enhancing gun batteries for a while do the t3 main gun plates start coming in

before i kept getting purple torp plates

[fleet lantern]

Hah! Jokes on you, 4/5 plates that you'll got is AA

FML

[toxic scroll]

I mean

I was nearing 1k torp plates

Until I enhanced a lot of my mag torps

[stuck copper]

i did that too at the start of opposite coloured and still have a plethora of torp plates above anything else

well, except AA plates

[ornate mantle]

Hell yeah, Ning and Ping got their Retrofits!

[dim crystal]

[ornate mantle]

The only thing I'm missing from light construct is basically Lewdis.

At least until Yat Sen comes.

[warm bluff]

having everything from light pool is pretty nice, unfortunately daily pulls are a lot less exciting though

[toxic scroll]

Eh

At best

Free medals

At worst

Enhance fodder

[sand robin]

V!!!

[toxic scroll]

she's very excited

V is all she can say for "Victory"

[stuck copper]

V has come to

[toxic scroll]

What kind of black magic

Did I just use

Exactly half

[lone sinew]

[stuck copper]

i leveled up amagi's blue skill to max first and still had more t3 blue books leftover than red/yellows lol

[lone sinew]

after amaga are lvl 100 imma put fortune yuugure and hatakaze in my dorm

[stuck copper]

If i get concord, aurora and tanikaze from light construction, i could actually reach 100%

[dim crystal]

Missing avrora here

At 97.2 %

[stuck copper]

i'm sitting at around 80% ish lol

[toxic scroll]

higher than i though

[stuck copper]

haven't retrofitted a lot of ships except the ones I use (all DDs + Jintsuu)

surprisingly I have Avrora but not Aurora

[toxic scroll]

I'll trade you

I don't want my aurora

[solar fjord]

Aurora good

[toxic scroll]

so how many ships look happy when picked up

not many from what i've seen

[stuck copper]

protect Ashigara

[toxic scroll]

idk man

she looks really happy like that

her chibi is one of my favorites with that skin though

with her idle animation

[stuck copper]

i really like her art/design in general

can't wait to see more fanart of her

[toxic scroll]

the most i saw of her

on the sites i use

the most was 11

that's all

[vital edge]

I dunno. Hobby's sprite is more entertaining imho

[toxic scroll]

the only part of hobby i like

is

well

i'd get danned instantly

[vital edge]

indeed.

[toxic scroll]

to say the least

well

my PfP image is one

that wouldn't dan me

because it's a nice simple good Hobby and Kalk image

i kinda like Kalk more though

because of her voice

which is weird

because they have the same CV

[vital edge]

Side note

Kalk is the only Benson class ship in AL that doesn't try to act or resemble rabbits

in any way at all

[toxic scroll]

schoolgirl skin

she has a rabbit

[vital edge]

base skins, man

I am no fucking whale xD

[toxic scroll]

schoolgirl skin is better tbh

i like a lot of base CG over skins for some ships

but Kalks schoolgirl skin is better

and her dialogue is better with it imo

[vital edge]

I'll never know unless I check the wiki

[toxic scroll]

if i don't hurry

i won't finish the daily x3 event maps

[fleet lantern]

Lol, seems like dev always keep their eyes on ship commentary. My comment on Lexington yesterday just gone with the other people's as well

[lone sinew]

I'd be happy if we got a T2 fire suppressor

purple*

[ornate mantle]

@stuck copper: Aurora has a delicious CNY Skin.

[half heart]

I made a joke to myself thinking that I'd get Jintsuu if I set Naka, her sister, as my secretary.

First run I got her.

:^)))))))

[stuck copper]

@ornate mantle still have yet to get her

[oblique mantle]

Shit man, gotta finish aw then I need to grab sirius for jp

So many things to do

[ornate mantle]

@stuck copper

My tastes have shifted from Atago to Takao.

[crisp palm]

not wanting sister sandwich

anon

[wintry sonnet]

oh shit

Portland too

[half heart]

hell yeah

[wintry sonnet]

triple cruiser retro action

Time to spam away at x-2s

[stuck copper]

At least with port

She doesn't need that much

[half heart]

Saratoga retrofit when tho

[stuck copper]

Imagine if sara comes too

[wintry sonnet]

funny thing

Portland requires 15 purple bps

ping/ning require 14 each

on top of 11 golds instead of 1

[stuck copper]

Lol

[wintry sonnet]

total it's gonna cost 44 blues, 43 purples, 23 golds

• 100 mg and 100 aux plates for ping ning

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

I'm at 21 golds, 32 purps, 81 blues

so actually this isn't bad

still got 2 golds from 6-2 3*ing to do

so as long as I do my hard mode on x-2s, even if I dont get any purps I'll have enough blues to trade in

Progress fuck yea

well I also need 84k coins but details

[crisp palm]

going to kai port day 1 sure

not so much on the twin tho

[wintry sonnet]

I'll propably prioritise portland too

and get the twins once I get enough coins

[crisp palm]

i rather save bp for sandy kai

seeing that we already got port

sandy might bee around the corner

also PR

[wintry sonnet]

doubt we'll get sandy any time soon

[crisp palm]

who know

color me surprise

even then 22 bp for twin w/o yat is still not really what i call a good investment

ah the bane of being 100% collection rate

lol

[wintry sonnet]

oh yea, WC's gonna have the draw boxes so we should be good on bps actually

[crisp palm]

i never care about that in the first place

cus i know i will get there in the end

[wintry sonnet]

I can take my time with 100% since I have to wait for avrora anyway

[crisp palm]

rushing for twin w/o yat sen is stupid to say the least

[wintry sonnet]

but I still want to keep making progress foward instead of getting backed up on retros

[crisp palm]

CL is such a bp sink

108 bp for all kai

lel

[wintry sonnet]

it's not even the golds right now that are causing me issues

[crisp palm]

well if i want i can just kai all of them atm

[wintry sonnet]

it's purples

[crisp palm]

but then i ask myself what the point?

not like iam going to get a medal for it anyway

no point

[wintry sonnet]

all those common retros eat through your purples like it's a casual sandwich on subway

[ornate mantle]

OH SHIT PORTLAND RETRO IS HERE BITCHES

I’ve been waiting for this.

[wintry sonnet]

now if only our god and savior indy-chan got one too

[crisp palm]

you do know that is another 10 bp down the drain right?

[tough burrow]

BP are meant to be used for upgrading ships, not for hoarding.

It's not down the drain if it's used as intended

[lament flower]

[crisp palm]

not knowing whether indy going to follow her sister route or york / exter route

i rather hold on my bp

[tardy violet]

Should grind CL bp harder

[ornate mantle]

@crisp palm : I like Portland’s art as retro,

[half heart]

I think Saru's art in general is really good.

[wintry sonnet]

more progress

[severe kestrel]

saru's art 🤢

[wintry sonnet]

next up, Fusou, Tirpitz and Edinburgh

[solar fjord]

[stuck copper]

Portland retro

gonna retrofit her for collection and then scrap her

[toxic scroll]

i'll scrap you

[stuck copper]

[wintry sonnet]

That sounds like a bold proclamation

maybe we should pin it and see if you can walk the walk

[toxic scroll]

i don't do threats

i do promises

portland retro is good

twice the indy lewding power

over triple the lewd Indy doujins Portland shares with me

[toxic scroll]

but now

saratoga retrofit soon?

idk how long the time was between portland and saratoga was in jp

[severe kestrel]

3 months

[toxic scroll]

how about uuuuuuuuhhhhhhh

now

[wintry sonnet]

dont bother with the original retrofit dates, we're already on a completely different timeline

at least as far as wiki's concerned

just to name a few examples, ping/ning retros happened before comet/crescent, while karlsruhe had a retrofit before bailey and tanikaze

[toxic scroll]

honestly

this is the perfect timeline

duh

[toxic scroll]

obv were following some kind of schedule

even if its a bastardized version of the JP/CN one

i've decided that for maps that aren't heavy on suicide boats

i'm gonna Meme team it
Uni, Lust, Shouhou

only important thing is to let shouhou get her airstrikes first

Now that's just cute

They added a lil Saratoga

[stuck copper]

I like Portland's design but her personality... huge turnoff. The constant siscon just isn't my thing

[toxic scroll]

i mean she isn't wrong though, Indy is cute

[stuck copper]

regardless I have so many cruiser BPs because the only cruiser I managed to retrofit was Jintsuu lol

[toxic scroll]

and for the argument that her retro is just a statstick

that's all retros are

stats lmao

[tough burrow]

no, her retro is also new, even better art

[toxic scroll]

exactly

and it has a passive, hidden skill that lets her produce her special indy mags at twice the speed

you know that Indy poster for the dorm is made by Portland

[past kiln]

She gives up skill for stats
But, most retro skills are just +stats anyways, and almost all are equivalent to +stats.
and the amount of stats she gets instead is more than almost all of those +stat skills give anyways

[toxic scroll]

lets be honest

if she gained a skill in it

it'd be about protecting indy anyways

like Wash and SD

[sand robin]

ahhh portland retro... I don't have that many cruiser retrofits to retro portland, ninghai and pinghai T_T

[icy dust]

i GoT tHReE bAGa fRoM dRoP

[ornate mantle]

Oh congrats.

[lusty drift]

ngl it seems like her rate is higher than other event drops

I got 0 NCs and 0 Z46s drops from maps

and yet I get 3 Bagas

wack

[ornate mantle]

I know how you feel.

I wanted Ashigara.

And did a three roll for the chance.

Wasn't expecting anything

But I got BB Kaga.

So I was like.

[past kiln]

0 NC but I got 4 z46 from drops
But I'm not even farming her map and BB kaga dropped

Same happened with PoW

[ornate mantle]

NC? as in North Carolina?

Hm, did she appear as a drop somewhere.

[past kiln]

Fallen wings SR drop was her iirc

[wintry sonnet]

she was both drop and box reward

same deal should be with duke iirc

[lusty drift]

Yeah, hardly anyone got NC during FW (as a drop)

[crisp palm]

i got 3 drop of her

was hopping for a 4 one

but good enough

[dim crystal]

I got 1 NC

Good enough

[vital edge]

NC was rare?

[lusty drift]

i ran D4 bloody 500+ times
