  1. Another hot button topic gone wrong - who'd have thought? Sin Kahn (interesting name there), you need to come to terms with the fact that Religion and Morality are not the same thing. In fact, these two concepts are usually much further apart than anyone will admit. The "Immorality" you describe is not a result of a lack of Religion - it's called "Escapism", to want and need to imagine one self in a space and time where morality and consequence do not exist but for it's representation in the game's rules. We are here to discuss that representation. The outliers - those individuals who troll and bait and goad online are victims of their own GIFT (look it up on know your meme), and it is again not a result of religion, but the result of idiots having the luxury of anonymity and an audience with no responsibility or culpability. In fact, your insistence that you are somehow a moral paragon because you are Religious betrays those who've bled and died for your Religion and your right to practice it so openly, but I digress. TL;DR - Morality =/= Religion
  2. Your project is looking very good so - massive respect sir. I'm sure there are a few Swedes about if you're looking for a project name.
  3. That'll do, Mr Harvey, that'll do. She looks fantastic!
  4. If I'm to vote, I'd say go with the St Pavel (in her 90-gun setup). Plans are more readily available, and at 90 guns, she's a little more snugly in between the 74 and the 104-gun Victory, whereas the 80-gunner would be very close to the 74. I'm all for French ships, but alas, those hardworking serfs at Brest did their best work on the myriad of Frigates (and Corvettes), 3rd Rates and 1st Rates.
  5. Once the devs have finalized the Specs and Requirements, our very own players will be helping the Dev team with all sorts of assets, most important of which will be the ships themselves. So if you're a good modeller or texture artist, look around. Loads of people in the "Shipyard" sub-forum tossing out ideas.
  6. Oh I know she was real - she's pretty interesting in and of herself. It's like somebody took a frigate, then scaled it down to make a cartoon version for kids, then somebody with a lot of money said: "Well that's an excellent idea! Build it!" In terms of Naval Action though, she'll be unique - 6x 4pdrs is even less than the Lynx, but she's a square rigger and will thus aim much better at all ranges (with the current mechanics). That said, welcome aboard weirdguy, and enjoy the ride.
  7. Welcome aboard sir! I have to say, La Belle is perhaps the strangest tub I've ever seen. Glad to meet the one who modeled it! It would be great fun to have in game though.
  8. If you read admin's post on Page 4, he adresses the Frigate specifically as "L'Aurore" by a very talented 3D modeller. Once she's re-optimised, she'll be in game. Which is shortly, hopefully. As for the Schooner, no idea. I still maintain it looks like the HMS Halifax.
  9. We should - Unity 5 brings, among loads of other things, Physics Based Shading and hopefully more streamlined render pipelines. I just squeal as I imagine what that subsurface light-scattering effects will do - you could actually see your ship's hull get wet and watch the water run off with every wave. The wood grain would technically be able to show underneath the hull paint. The bright-work would pop a bit better... It'll all just be so damned pretty.
  10. My framerates have somehow improved... I was getting ~75fps on a single GTX780. After the last two patches (and one nVidia Driver update) I decided to crank it up to Custom with all the bells and whistles going. Now I'm getting 100fps+ - drops down to about 80fps with significant action and rough seas... Did I accidentally break Unity?
  11. Bucentaure was an 80-gunner launched in 1803. Would make another excellent addition IMHO.
  12. Okay - posted my issue in the "Ping" thread - should be posting it here.
  13. I find this ship incredibly fascinating - good find sir! She even looks pierced for bow-chasers - shamelessly aggressive little thing, like it's namesake.
  14. Sent with Crash-dump, as requested.
