A 'What-If' continuation of @taskforceadmiral.bsky.social random gen scenario, I dubbed '3 Crane sisters'.

Crane sisters had run for it. Shoho stood her ground.

She and her escorting DD fought tooth & nail. Shoho sank, 1405hrs, Day 2.

DD still lives.

Laputa Castle in the Sky and Porco Rosso are my favourites. But it is a pretty close field for all of them that I have seen.

In honor of Hayao Miyazaki's birthday, what's your favorite Studio Ghibli film? Doesn't have to be the one you think is "the best," just the one that nestled in your heart. Mine is Howl's Moving Castle.

A Sovereign class Kit-bash, consisting of Lamarr, Sovy & Archon pieces.

An 'eyeball' length check shows her to be shorter than a Galaxy, but longer than an ambassador class.

Est Length: 580 - 600 meters

Bond: What's with the glove?

M: Mr Sixer was part of a British VX Gas program, to make it more 'useful'. After an accident, the government denied any knowledge and said it was a rogue operation.

Bond: No wonder he hates us, serves the crown, and is abandoned.

M: We are all disposable, Mr Bond.

Messing around with GIMP 3 with screenshots taken in @taskforceadmiral.bsky.social TFA. Trying to capture the 'pencil style' artwork of someone sketching on a paper pad.

More Task Force Admiral testing, and Shokaku receives some real nasty punishment. Total of roughly 12 1000lb bombs and 2 torpedoes over about 1 hour.

Total strike AC total - 42 Dauntless & 30 Devastators

I kind of went nuts in @taskforceadmiral.bsky.social testing the 'launch limit' of carriers.

USS Lexington, 50 plane strike (4 F4F's, 31 SBDs, 15 TBDs)

Benefit, cool screenshots :)

"Yes 007, they were in and out inside of 7 minutes"

"Interesting, I would have done it in 4 minutes"

"007!" tired sigh "Officially, several gems and jewels were stolen"

"And Unofficially?"

Pushes a tablet over the table

"A painting, but no ordinary painting, this one, contains an embedded code"
A robbery? At the Louvre?

Day three, which I have coined.

"Disappointment on Southern Winds"

Such potential & promise. But Shokaku ends up vanishing like a ghost.

Spent the weekend playing @taskforceadmiral.bsky.social TFA.
Still need to complete the run this coming weekend.

But, mistakes, air-ops muddles, and a crane that refuses to sink :) All happened.

@taskforceadmiral.bsky.social TFA Development continues, with one of the cool things being worked on by the dev's is animated crewman.

@counselor-sunna.bsky.social or @borticuscryptic.bsky.social

There was a discussion about #startrekonline's dilex problem. I think the current backlog is currently 12 million.

You mentioned the team was thinking of some measures. Can I please ask if there has been any progress?

Some ending scenes from #startrekonline TFO can be funny when someone has a particular weapon. Or in this case a Mech suit :)

@counselor-sunna.bsky.social Maybe a good community event would be a funniest TFO ending scene screenshot competition or sharing event.

Having fun using GIMP to mess around with one of the screenshots I took last month during a run of Task Force Admiral being developed by @taskforceadmiral.bsky.social

Titled "Lady York sends her regards to the Fifth Carrier Division" :)

Seeing the amount of engagement, playthroughs and screenshots done by the @taskforceadmiral.bsky.social Community has been awesome.

Development is continuing in TFA, with some exciting stuff on the horizon.

#indiedevs #indiegames #WW2 #History
Now aircraft have different engine startup times so as to make it look a bit more natural. Sometimes it doesn't take much to give you a good feel. Get your earphones & enjoy the scene. Next stop: adding the small guys!
Big thanks to Hood for the video!

Run I did last month. Shokaku sailing straight and true (no avoidance, I suspect due to a coding glitch as she had her crash barriers up for landings).

End Result, all 16 SBDs missed with their loads :)
