Schooners, will there be bigger schooner vessels than the i mast lynx, yacht, and navy clipper?

 Will you be adding schooners of 2 mast or more? they were quite common at the time for piracy, merching, and privateering plus they were added to navy fleets.

 

heres a few pictures if i get a response ill begin posting the plans and ships ive researched, theirs many during the time period we have.

The Lynx has two masts, as will the Pickle. I believe they are also adding a privateer's version of the Lynx, which is going to be a beefier, sexier version of the already wonderful ship.

That's an interesting selection of vessels you have lined up there, yet, not all of them are schooners and I believe some are outside or on the very edge of the time period selected for Naval Action (three masted schooner where a relatively late setup).

 

Let's see what they are:

 

1. A three-masted gaff schooner, metal hulled from the looks of it (update: it is the Alliance which was built in 1995 by Treworgy Yachts in Palm Coast);

2. A jackass-brig (schooner-rigged with full square rig on the fore mast) looks Ok? (update: it is a 3D model of the Halcon, built in 1840, so not Ok);

3. A two-masted gaff schooner, looks Ok (update: she is the Alabama, a newly build example of a typical Gloucester fishing schooner of the early 1900s);

4. A photograph of a three master schooner. Since it is a photo, we can deduce it is too young (update: she is the Wawona, launched in 1897);

5. Another three-masted gaff schooner, hard to make out the details, but the shape strongly hints at a metal hull;

6. Another two-masted gaff schooner, looks like a quite small vessel from her lines (update: it is a Light Scooner designed by Philip Bolger, who was born in 1927).

 

So basically, most of the images you presented show schooner (or a jackas-brig) designs which are outside of the selected Naval Action time frame. Schooners from the game's time period typically still had square top sails.
