Venguer and Temeraire... we need more 74s.
-
It's a nice looking vessel but I'd like to see more ships like the vid or santisma.
Basically more 1st rate ships.
Well, there is one more 1st Rate in development, you know. And hey, as I've said before, the more ships, the better.
-
Interesting. Well, if you ask me, we could do with more ships like her (ship-rigged/three-masted corvettes, sloops-of-war, light frigates.) in-game.
-
I'd say, if you wanted to implement a morale system, do it like Mount and Blade's: As in, the men need good food and frequent, successful action, or else they'll desert or (and I can't recall if this was the case in M&B, but still) be less useful in battle. Puchu's idea works as well, because his idea seems to expand on the system I just described. Also, like Puchu said, trying to implement an honor system would be difficult and probably wouldn't work out, anyway.

Great looking model, Malachi. She looks quite similar to Renommee.

When will it be added to the list?Wrong list. Wind was referring to the list of plans that have been found, not the list of ships in development.

BTW, I'm sorry I couldn't be more specific about the xebec, but, well, I think this picture is the most that we know about it:
You can see it in front of Bucentaure:

Now, wouldn't be ironic if a french player in this ship had his stern raked by a British Victory in battle?
You can try...
-
Thank you so much!
Hey, I'm happy to be of assistance.
-
He did say "Similar ships with more guns."
-
I wish we did. I haven't seen/heard anything, though.
-
@William: Sounds like a great idea, if you ask me. And besides, it makes sense: Why buy a a brand new ship that's very similar to the one you have already when you could simply refit your current ship to suit your needs?
-
Saw a Bellona model in a hobby shop today. Temptation, temptation...
-
Still, it makes me wonder how Bucentaure and St. Pavel are going to be different in-game, unless the devs differentiate them via an artificial stat like hitpoints. (Not that they have to be different, though. The more ships the merrier, even if some are pretty similar to each other.)
-
I've a history question here: Did the Russians design St. Pavel completely by themselves, or were they influenced by the the French Tonnants? Because I've been comparing the two designs (via Threedecks.org and Wikipedia), and they're both large two-deckers; both about the same size (give or take a few feet/meters), from what I can tell; both with a similar number of guns; and lastly, the in-game St. Pavel has a very similar stern to that of Bucentaure (the Bucentaure class, of course, being a modification of the Tonnant class). It just got me curious, since I'd thought St. Pavel was shorter than Bucentaure, and once I looked that up, I began to notice how similar the designs were.
-
Who knows. Maybe they read C.S. Forester's Lieutenant Hornblower.
-
IIRC the UI in the first screenshot the devs posted of her showed 84 guns.
-
1) Remove those silly red distances in battle, knowing whether you are being gained on is a skill when trying to escape.
I'm all for that.
-
It would be neat to see a screenshot of her and a Bellona side-by-side, so we could compare them a bit.
-
Hmm, I definitely prefer the look of Castor, though part of that's due to Castor's more detailed plan.
-
That Lexington reminds me of the Mercury.
-
Great post! I wouldn't mind seeing Sardoine and Termagant in-game at all. Sardoine would be fun, being such a small three-masted ship; and Termagant would be a good-looking competitor to the Snow and the Cerberus.
-
Could the Ottoman admiral 128 gun Mahmudiye be in the game. Is the launch date too late??
Since the cutoff is 1830, she's within the time-frame (even though just barely). The question is, would anybody really want her in-game? I mean, 1829 is still pretty late, and she's huge (she's like 36 US feet longer than Le Commerce de Marseille and about 17 feet wider, unless my math is wrong), so she might make ships often thought of as top-of-the-line, like HMS Victory, Le Commerce de Marseille, and Santisima Trinidad, seem second-best. I'm not sure if anybody would really want that.

Mirones was referring to the Ingermanland as the upcoming 64, not Indefatigable.
Second rate - Pavel in game screenies
in Ships of the line

I'll be damned if we don't get a Temeraire at some point. Like you say, hers was such an influential and numerous class of vessels that it wouldn't make sense if they weren't represented in-game. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if we get one sooner, rather than later.
