Fleet Rearmament and Modernization Report: Ayanami Kai 2

My fleet has been joined by another Kai 2 Special Class Destroyer, Ayanami.  With her high luck and firepower, she's bound to make event sorties easier, and putting less strain on my other high-level DDs. 

A little bit of history from wikipedia:

Ayanami's final mission, on November 14–15, 1942, was that of the Second Naval Battle of Guadalcanal. There, she was attached to a scouting force under the command of Rear Admiral Shintarō Hashimoto in the light cruiser Sendai. When American Admiral Willis A. Lee's Task Force 64 was spotted near Savo Island, Hashimoto took his ships clockwise around the island, but sent Ayanami alone in the opposite direction sweeping for enemy vessels. When Lee's ships were located, the order to attack was given, and as such, Ayanami became one of three prongs in the initial attack (Along with Hashimoto's group, and another group led by Rear Admiral Susumu Kimura in the light cruiser Nagara).
Ayanami was first sighted by the American destroyer USS Walke, but the light cruiser Nagara was located soon after and the four destroyers' attentions shifted to it. Torpedo and shellfire from AyanamiNagara, and Uranami sank two of the four destroyers (USS Preston and USS Walke), mortally wounded USS Benham (which was scuttled after the battle), and severely damaged USS Gwin, causing heavy American losses in the first phase of the battle.



Night fighting equipment.  Lots of them. 



Ayanami's seifuku in contrast to Fubuki.  They probably wear the same seifuku but they have different ribbons (laces?)

WTF? Delivering to Anons

So I started lurking on /evn/ and I spotted a screenshot from my project (taken, of course from the main blog) in the Soundtrack Edition.  The thread was dying but I was able to have enough time to converse with a couple of anons.  They both suggested to match the textbox with the circle thingies on the upper right.  So, I delivered. 



Old Main Window a.k.a screen say



Rounded boxes.  Note uncolored background. 


Screen choices would get the same treatment.


Former screen peers / a.k.a the prototype for screen club_members

Damn anons inspired me to work on it right away.  It would take days before I get a reply at LSF.  If I ever need feedback about aesthetics and stuff, maybe I should ask them first.

WTF? KanColle's 10.09.2015 Update


Murasame's a fishing ship now.

Everything was okay until everyone realized that API links don't work anymore.  Yes.  API links won't work on viewers unless you rabidly refresh it every 30(?) minutes or so.   If you're using KC3, just enable force cookie hack and you'll be saved from the catbombs.

And there's a special event going on where you fish for mackerel.  I don't exactly know what it does but it seems it's supposed to be similar to that mochi event of last week.  Also, seasonal CGs for Akebono, Ushio, Murasame, and limited-time drop for Isokaze (with her own CG as well)

Sally ho, admirals.  Fall 2015 is in 3 weeks.  Stack resources and train your daughters. 



I swear to God that new stained glass furniture makes me want to DEUS VULT

Yes.  There's also new furniture.  I think two bars, a window, and that DEUS VULT piece of stained glass.

Hatsuyuki Wants to Go Home


Meet Fubuki Class DD Hatsuyuki, DesDiv 11.   A rather peculiar ship daughter partly because of her depiction as a NEET or Hikkomori.  During sorties, you can't help if she purposely gets hit (in programming sense, the system is actually acting to have her get hit) so she can go home.  If you look at her lines, you can tell that her character procrastinates A LOT.  There's also a lot of ellipses involved to the point it's almost criminal.  It's interesting to note that she looks and acts similar to Touhou's Kaguya... and probably to a lesser extent, Index's Himegami Aisa.



Whatever the case, I'm not bringing her to event maps.  I have enough reason to believe that she's rigged to go home.
