Guidance's Lore Notes: Rigs

Guidance slouched on her chair as she stared at the blinking word document in front of her. Beside it, a window containing her first designs of a Rig taunted her with how complex it was looking. Honestly, she really didn't have to go that hard into designing a fictional ship, and there she was doing it anyway. She even used CAD, for crying out loud. And she wasn't even an engineer!

"This is too much effort..." she sighed, her eyes glazing over as she tapped on her desk. "At this point, I should've been an engineer..."

Funnily enough, she almost did become an engineer... Well, not really. She just thought that it'd be neat to be an engineer during one random point in her life. And just as quickly as it came, it left her mind in favor of playing even more games instead.

"Ugh... Why do I keep doing this to myself..."

That one phrase always seemed to escape her mouth every time she stared at her notes. It was like she wasn't even trying, and yet she was doing the best that she could? She supposed it was that same phenomenon where creators would absolutely hate their own work, thinking that they could do better.

"But that's just Sunken Cost Fallacy...."

God knew how many programming projects she had to fix from the ground up simply because another department refused to fix something that should've been fixed months, even years ago. There was just no easy way to get rid of progress, no matter how bad it might be in the long run.

"I've gone this far.... Might as well commit..."

Rolling her eyes at herself, she sat straight back up and started typing. A part of her knew that she might regret what she was doing right now, but that was her future self's problem.

Right now, she just wanted to feel like she was doing something productive...

Rigs

The ships designed to traverse the Shallow Deep. With conventional boats being too fragile for long voyages, Rigs were created with both durability and navigational sailing in mind. Each Rig will always be fitted with the best navigational devices that the Three Great Nations had to offer. Be it Kattleynan lumber, Vestygian metal, or Marquean Devices, no expenses should be spared when commissioning for one of these vessels to be built.

"...And that's that, I guess?"

Guidance fought against the feeling of incompleteness blooming within her as she moved on from her entry about Rigs. She supposed that she could just explain it further in in-game cutscenes or something. She already had the concept in her head, she just had to, well...

Okay... Fine, she was procrastinating again, but who even cared about the one thing that'll just function as the player's glorified travel button?

"Better move on to other things..."
