[ tony, unlike some people, likes observing individuals first before he says anything. there's nothing like making a fantastic entrance because you know what's going on while other people don't. it makes you look smart. technically tony supposes he doesn't need any help in that department, but it never hurts to be the observer first. right now he's ( Read more... )

Well, I'm a tall ship, so I have a good knowledge and experience in everything relevant to sailing.
I'm also a schoolship, and I've taught people to sail for... decades. I'm 97.
I also have a good scientific knowledge, but I'm afraid I don't have the one relevant to sailing in space. Only on the sea. Also, I learn very fast and I can use a brain when needed.
This, unfortunately, isn't enough for our crew to find anything useful, and I'm afraid I would tend to agree.

I'm also planning on looking around, even as I'm getting busy helping people here and there. Anyone can join me, and I'm willing to join any groups.

Sailing in space and sailing in water are actually slightly interchangable. A bit more difficult, but if you're...97, you have to have some knowledge of the various types of sailing.

...And you have a brain, so that's a plus.

[ does he actually trust that brain to be used? nope. besides, this dude is a ship. ]

Noted. Safe to say you have an internal compass?

Well, there are no winds in space, so I admit it'll be a little bit difficult to make the transition, but I know how it works. Except the whole jump thing. I know you need engines only to change direction or speed in space, what with there being no friction, so they're not needed right now if we're going in a straight line to wherever we're going.
Yes, I do, and I use it.

Well, I do, but it's behaving a bit off right now.

i was kidding about the compass thing.

...though out of curiosity, how off are we talking?

Re: (text) statsraaden December 14 2011, 12:06:55 UTC

Well, I can figure out approximately where I'm going. It used to be exact.

so say you're going in true north's direction, with the off compass, you're feeling like you're going some degrees off of true north.

because approximately is kind of a broad term.

Re: (text) statsraaden December 19 2011, 21:05:20 UTC

I'm feeling like I'm closer to north than northwest or northeast, but that's all.
And there's no north on this ship.
