There is something I think I need to repost as it seems to have been lost along the way.

[quote=@Bell] This is where you come in. For the first time ever, Humanity is putting GUNS on their flying ships. But these ships are very special and difficult to engineer things. They can't simply slap some guns on a transport ship and call it good. They have to engineer a ship specifically designed to carry the weapons that have been created for it, and these weapons are often designed with specific types of Beasts in mind. As such, each Warship is its own dedicated thing, not meant for transporting resources or people, but rather waging war against beasts[/quote]

There are no larger warships. Not yet. Frigates, which yes are very, very small, are the only warships currently active. And while I won't say it's not possible that anyone has served on one before, it would have been very recently. As the above quote says, this is the first time that Humanity has started to put guns on ships. Flying warships weren't a thing until now, and defenses against monsters relied mostly on the cities themselves and the stationary defenses they have.

And if you're wondering why some fifty years has passed and Humanity just now thought to put guns on flying ships, a thing they clearly did in the past with sea vessels, then don't worry they aren't that stupid. They did think of it, it has just taken this long to actually develop (Due to their massively limited resources and manpower), the ability to use guns on ships without issue. As said, they have to design the ships specifically for the guns. The guns themselves had to be developed, then recoil had to be learned, and you can imagine the nightmare of actually trying to TEST warships considering you can't just put it in the water and see what happens, if something goes wrong, it drops out of the sky, not just, floats around the water.

So yeah, Frigates are the only warships around at the moment.
