"There are a few key differences, Mostly the fact that the only way to make flying ships is with a base, as opposed to submarines, where the only reason you're using the base is so that you can disregard the problems with building such a large one, so the real question is why SHOULD super-submarines get a pass." first off, this is also the ONLY way to build a super sub. Ive run experiments with prop diving, and past a certain point, adding more power doesnt increase the downforce. its a glitch with buoyancy physics or something in BSC


 * "That said, the biggest problem isn't the floating base. For the benefit of the doubt I'll concede that one. The problem is that with flying ships, the base is considered not to exist, while with your submarine, it IS the base, so we can't just say it doesn't exist. The fact remains, that if someone were to shoot the sub itself, with one hit, it would sink like a rock (regardless of the 3.5 million toughness rating it probably has)."
 * you seem to have gotten mixed up with my terminology
 * when i say base
 * im referring to the platform im using to push it down
 * because calling it a base is just easier than "large heavy floating mass that is needed for weight"
 * but the base of a flying ship is considered not to exist, just as i dont consider the "reverse-base(thats what ill try to remember to call it from now on)" to exist
 * also, sink like a rock. That is true, and i have a twofold counter to that
 * 1: in vanilla BSC, submarines have that same problem(once again, fuck BSC's stupid buoyancy physics that screw up a sub if someone sneezes at it)
 * 2: when a flying ships base is hit, it immediately falls in GC. Now, thats usually a death sentence in GC but in RP, we know better.  why shouldnt common sense apply to submarines?
 * its stupid to think a heavily armored doomsub would get 1hitkilled by a seagull pooping on it in RP just because BSC's retard-o-physics behave that way
 * so if common sense overrides dumbfizzikz in one area, it has to override it in every area where dumbfizzikz is dumb
