The funny thing is that they learnt absolutely nothing from the fate of the Vasa. In fact they doubled down on their strategy on more cannons = more better, and build Store Kronan, which had 126 cannons (more than twice as many as Vasa), and which ended up capsizing from its own weight and sinking, just from attempting to turn too quickly.
Nah, tbh I was just making a meme because I remember folks used to joke about struts. I haven't played in a long time. I remember thinking about all that a bit. If you're having fun, you're playing right. 💜
I have been playing Satisfactory lately. I've tried making some layouts intentionally bad just to try new stuff and see how it works.
If we’re talking 40K, orkz are the closest thing to good guys. They don’t want to kill you for ideological reasons or weird shit like that, they don’t hate you or nothin’ like that, they’re just looking for a good krumpin’.
I’m into it for the angry sexy space vampire nazis.

The Kerbal Space Program approach: When your ship fails to launch, add more explodey tubes!

Not high enough? More thrusters. Not stable enough? More struts.

Didn't they make it too high off the water, too?

Silver linings though: The Vasa museum in Stockholm is pretty cool

It's definitely on my list when I eventually make it to Stockholm.

The Kronan museum in Kalmar is also pretty interesting

Huh, I thought you were talking about the one with red, space Nazis who like chain guns.

Was I not?

I like the orcs too much to compare them to Nazis. I'm down with Scandinavian. That's almost the same ballpark.
