Crankey Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I backup Lord Hoods post and others with the same view/knowledge. Would love to get rid of the muliple ranks and just use Lieutenant, Commander or Post Captain. Your 'reputation' combined with an 'expenditure' when recruiting would fill or paritally fill your crew requirement. Flag ranked officer would ultimately be on board a ship a Captain would command. The captain involved had the honourary added of 'Post' Captain which only applied when the flag offcier was attached to his ship. Reputation and expense would be a far better method of limiting crew numbers available. Greater the reputation, the easier it is to attract new crew, The more expenditure you use in your recruiting campaign the easier it is to recruit crew etc. Ideally Lieutenants with the honorary rank Master & Commander for unrated vessels Commander for 5th and 6th rated vessels Post Captain for all 4th rate or higher. Perhaps reputation would create a situation where you could 'attract' the attention of a flag offcier who when on board your ship would/could effect your ships efficiency in small ways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueEagleGER Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Commander was simply used because M&C was too long, it essentially is the same rank. But there was the difference between Captain under 3 years of rank and captain with more than this. Although the "post" has a different meaning we could use captain and post captain as different ranks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Comery Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Today I captured a trinchomalee and I'm only at a rank with Max 40 crew. What crew size are we talking for me to decently handle it? I'm not after full crew here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Melkier Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I would like to see another ship, maybe two ships, to bridge the gap between the Pickle and a Brig. Something with a crew complement of around 85 to 110. A brig sloop or a sloop of war. As an alternative to buying next lvl ships you could capture one instead. Perhaps a Corvette would be suited to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Updated the post so far, just wondering if anyone can tell me the crew size for the Pirate Frigate, is it the same as the normal Frigate? Also have the crew sizes stayed the same and the ranks do they also give the same amount of crew as they used to?

Jim Bligh Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 As to Fleet command, what rank will you need to be to command a fleet? Will a fleet be made up of squadron's, and will there be ranked officer to command a squadron then ranked officer to command a fleet? That is if you are going to have the fleet's made up of squadron's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bligh Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Naval Officer ranks who commanded a Fleet or flotilla/squadron Flag Officers:Admiral of the fleetAdmiralVice AdmiralRear AdmiralCommodore / Flotilla Admiral /Counter Admiral/ Senior Captain Officer rank who commanded a single ship. Senior officers: Ship of The Line Captain senior officers rank command below a ship of the line: frigate corvette CaptainPost CaptainMaster & Commander/ Commander/ Frigate CaptainLieutenant Commander/ Corvette Lieutenant Junior officers: 6th 7th rate ship, that don't warrant a commander or captain to command. LieutenantFirst Lieutenant/ Sub-Lieutenant/ Junior Lieutenant.Ensign/ Midshipman these officers did not command a ship they where commissioned cadet officers in training, in charge of gunner crews ,sail crews These where also know as captain cabin boys.They were servants to offices with a higher rank of Captain on board ship and at naval dinner functions. Traditionally, Commodore is the title for any officer assigned to command more than one ship at a time, even temporarily, much as Captain is the traditional title for the commanding officer of a single ship even if the officer's official title in the service is a lower rank. As an official rank, a commodore typically commands a flotilla or squadron of ships as part of a larger task force or naval fleet commanded by an Admiral.
