Ensign Cthulhu Posted November 15 Posted November 15 (edited) I spent some La Pampa tokens on a couple of Distant Voyages Premium containers because I'm not going for the ship, and one of them handed me this beauty! Yes, I know, it's been in the game for quite a while... but the point I'm making is that at last my Mogami is the one being ravished by a horrid tentacle monster! What? What did I hear you say? What do you mean, it's symbolic? Edited November 15 by Ensign Cthulhu 2 12 1
Aethervox Posted November 15 Posted November 15 Personally, I despise all these camos that make your ship look like some creature (any of them) but, hey, Cthulhu, I can 'see' why you might like tentacles. 😁 3 3
Sumseaman Posted November 15 Posted November 15 Oooh! With all the Anime camos we now get a Hentai! 7

Estaca_de_Bares Posted November 15 Posted November 15 I was going to quote another thread where I had already mentioned the idiom but, alas, it seems to be gone. Now your Mogami can properly be given the octopus' treatment ("dar la del pulpo" in Spanish, meaning being thoroughly beaten, just like those are to make their flesh tender). Salute. 2
Admiral_Karasu Posted November 15 Posted November 15 That camo sure looks like something that would tickle @Ensign Cthulhu's fancy. 1
desmo_2 Posted November 15 Posted November 15 Japanese cartoon girl captain and tentacles? I think I saw that in a video, once. 😬 1

Colonel Potter Posted November 15 Posted November 15 I got the monster one for my Henri from a Distant Voyages container back when the permanent camo still had all the bonuses attached to them. Thought they look a bit tacky, but hey, it was a free camo that had the bonuses so I use it anyway, lol. Definitely not something I would have bought for doubloons. 3

So did I. I like the monster camos, so I was very pleased to get this one. The change brought its benefits - you can go "naked" or choose a different skin and still have the bonuses - but one of the first things I would do if I were placed in charge of WG tomorrow is reattach a permabonus to ship-specific skins in the DV crates. 1

Ensign Cthulhu Posted November 17 Author Posted November 17 Here's another one from the vault, from another Distant Voyages premium box in the La Pampa event. Had to spend a bit of coal to get this one, but it was worth it: "Mutantovsk" - Khaba permaskin from the "Raid for the Filth" event a few years back. 2

Ensign Cthulhu Posted November 17 Author Posted November 17 @Aethervox Well aren't we in a fine mood today. Next time you get something you think is nice, remind me to turn up and tell you how awful it is. If you don't want that happening to you, DON'T DO IT TO SOMEONE ELSE. 1 1

This reminds me: I earned some of these camos in past events/ years. I may have put some of them on. I have their appearance turned off. I need to go back through my roster, to check and see what I might be inflicting on other players. About the only “special” camo I like is the Shark “Don’t Tread On Me” camo for Worcester. (It’s the Worcester itself I don’t care for any more.) 2

I, simply, expressed an opinion that these above illustrated weird camos are a waste of WG resources. I never criticized anyone as one person (or is it two now?) 'implies'. There are some real thin skinned types here, methinks. &, furthermore, as if I could stop anyone who wants to run (equip or place) these camos on a ship (fortunately, one doesn't often see these 'monstrosities'). 1
