StormReavers only attack during storms. We are fast and powerful as the storm itself. We have to disable an airship while it is in the storm with us before it tries to rise above it. We must stop them and do it without causing it to fall out of the sky. The Hinderscipe*is designed to not only fly better in a storm, it actually feeds on the storm. It has specially designed mesh sails that absorb lightning and water to power the grand capacitors and even power the great "Lance". The Lance is a main weapon that sends a stroke of lightning at an enemy ship. The bolt's amps are lowered to allow the enemy ships crew only to be stunned instead of burned to death. The weapon also can arc to nodes on the starboard and port sides to emulate a broadside attack on enemies. The magneto-hydrodynamic energy converter. The basic principle is to produce hot ionized gases (3000 °C), send the plasma gas beam through a magnet (energy/fuel conversion of 20 to 25% into electricity) and use the remaining hot gas to power a turbine or, in our case, the Hinderscipe' engines (energy conversion still 30%). The driving steam pressure is produced by electric heating elements in the boiler rather than a firebox.
