Sure that thing's got enough sail? Good cripes. :lol

Ingermanland's an old ship, though. I'd imagine (though I could be wrong) that a 64 from later in the 1700s would stand a better chance against a 74-gun ship like Bellona.

And the Pickle just rights itself and sails away like

*Emperor Palpatine voice* Your feeble electrical system is no match for the power of the Dark Side of the Indiaman!

Uh, what? The only 64 we have ingame is Ingermanland, and she's not even completely released yet, isn't she?

Well, that's good news. Maybe we can get it going again before we find ourselves in the second half of 2016.

Admittedly, that might not be much of a threat. We just had a wipe a few days ago, so people might not lose very much progress if they get wiped again.

An older-style (without the later flush-deck design) American 74? And a very good-looking one, too? Yes, please.

I'm waiting to see what, if anything, Jim Sterling has to say about it, since he tends to cover stuff in Early Access. I mean, I don't know if he'll say anything good (since he tends to be pretty negative), but it would be promising if he did.

Agreed, from what I know.

Heh, by the look of her in those pictures, I think she might've been the Retribution, another ship from Hornblower. See here.

That is one seriously unattractive-looking ship.

You might want to edit out the foul language, dude. I don't have an issue with it, but the moderators don't seem to like that sort of thing.

Heh, it's not that hard. Grand Turk's kinda distinctive-looking, for whatever reason, and I've seen her in Hornblower enough to know her pretty well when I see her.

He means that "HMS Phoenix" (if that's what she's called now) is/was also known as l'Étoile du Roy, and before then was known as Grand Turk. She played HMS Indefatigable in the Hornblower TV series.

I guess I don't remember reading any specifics about the "real" HMS Ontario being introduced into the game, but I'll take your word for it. The Pirate Frigate, as far as I know, is a just a variant of the regular frigate. I don't know how different its stats are. The "generic" 74/3rd Rate uses one of the Bellona's old models/textures (without the Bellona's ornate stern), but might have a different armament range. I'm sure there are other forum members who know more. Also, there's this ship: http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/7165-what-is-the-ship-on-this-screen/ Gros Ventre, a light merchant ship.

Why is the Ontario listed in the OP and greyed out (meaning not released yet), when the Snow (which is basically the Ontario afaik) is also listed in the OP and is also in-game already? Also, isn't the "Pirate Frigate" in-game? Also, if you're listing variants, there's the unnamed "74/3rd Rate" that's in the game right now.

Probably not historically accurate, but this is what I thought of when I saw that: http://cdn.collider.com/wp-content/uploads/The-Musketeers-cast.jpg

Haven't we done this before?

To me, she's still Indefatigable.

Napoleonic Era military (especially naval) officer's uniforms. I don't know if they'd be a pain to actually wear or do anything in these days, but at least they look cool.

Not to be a smart-arse, but I think the Shipyard's the place for posting ship suggestions, OP.

I guess dads are fair game, then?

I'm sure we'll get Danish ships at some point. Don't worry.
