Clouds are Rolling out! New Chapter!

Special release, Chapter 61!!!! Fourth Conclave!

But the important part news, Cloudships. Not a lot of real details are given to them in Fallout Equestria. So, time for some brief lore. Because Cloudships like the Buttercup and the Lord Clove are newer designs. How does that work? Below is the stuff that I just added to the Wiki. But as always, the Wiki has a lot more information on all aspects of the Shaping Shadow Series.

200 years is long time to maintain wartime technology. Especially technology that was primarily unicorn made because they could do it faster. Most of the components were manufactured off site, and then assembled by pegasi at Nellie Air Force Base above Las Pegasus. Where the dry docks are. Almost all Cloudships were manufactured during the War.

To keep up appearances, most of the cloudships have been removed from use and then refreshed, retrofitted, and repaired several times. Each time the design is a slightly different model and the ship is renamed.

It appears like the Enclave is still able to make new ships without a problem. The Enclave has been able to reverse engineer the components of almost everything, except for some of the 100% magic pieces in the guns. Everything else can be reproduced, albeit slow and with a lot of energy. They can maintain, not mass produce.

A large 'lot' of Cloudships is near the dry docks. Most of the ships in there were damaged by the war and were waiting for repairs. Since the clouds were sealed up, they have been scavenged for parts for the retrofits and remodels over the years. As well as repairing ships after the inevitable accidents occur.

Many of the cloudships have been fitted with adjusted guns that now fire live rounds rather than magic blasts and lasers. This was done in an effort to keep the Raptor guns online as long as possible, and with as much ammo as possible.

The Net Layers, Corvette Class, and Monitor Class were rare builds from fresh clouds. Everything was produced for them. Nothing was borrowed. It allows for better repair control since it is using the technology and equipment the Enclave has at the time, not on magic bit they have to maintain from the war.
