Bodkin formation Basics (α, β, γ)
07 Jan 2016Undomyr
I have been toying with an idea for (currently 3) several highly specialised 3-4 ships, extremely hard hitting loadouts and a group of pilots who have drilled the every variation of the flight patterns, the communications and operations protocols and are true masters of their ships. Each of these three formations is suited against a specific type of adversary, with hull and shield strength sacrificed for speed and armament.
The initial phase of making the builds and getting the formation figured out (i have been waving around small household objects to visualise the whole affair..), a communication protocol is not too hard to borrow from far more professional sources. Now it's down to the really nasty part; details. Endless details.
About the name;
A Bodkin-arrowhead has a squared shape, which is what the outline of these formations is more or less.
The bodkin was designed to punch through armour and inflict grievous, often fatal wounds.
I'll share some quick details about each, but it might be more of a teaser, I suppose.
α - 21 Spheres of Starstuff
β - 12 Times the Hammer, Pacifier on half
γ - The Mitsubishi A6M come again.
More to follow, can't promise when for now!
Apologies for not living up to your hopes for this
