    Cool piece, but why is there a power armor wearing skeleton holding what appears to be an m4 acog with folding stock and angled grip in the last photo?:blink: lol

    There's an IG-88 droid from Star Wars in there, too, if you look closely. 

  2. What the hell is that? I mean, don't get me wrong, I've warmed up to Pirates of the Caribbean enough that I can accept some fantasy ship designs with skeletons and whatnot, but that... Well, no disrespect to the guy who made it, but it's not my cup of tea, let me put it that way.

  3. I must be becoming emotionally dead. The ship I voted for, and believed long overdue for implementation into the game, the Temeraire, made it after all, despite getting clobbered in the polls. What's more, I've long considered 3rd rates to be one of the most under-represented rates in the game, and now we have not one, but three new 3rd rates in development. And yet all I made was one little post the other day. 

    Here, here's a proper response: Pop that champagne!

    The poll is now closed.

    The 3 vessels with the most votes have been chosen to be added to the line-up:

    • Montañés
    • Wrecker
    • Téméraire

    Thanks to all who proposed and voted, and enjoy your future sailing !

    Wow! Three ships got chosen after all. That's really great.

    So, there are possibilities that more than only one ship from this poll will be made into the game.

    If we need several ships to fill gaps, the logical decision would be to choose at least 2, one third rate and one superfrigate. Both of them chosen by the community and another ship by the devs.

    Apologies if this is a stupid question, but why do we need another superfrigate? We have a number of heavy frigates already...

    I switched from my previous choice to the Princess Wilhelmina.

    A 50 ship is also interesting and with some more votes we may sail her soon.

    Only 16 more votes and she will send the Venus to the second place.

    #goWilhelmina.

    Wilhelmina? The Wilhelmina has 6 votes lol. Even third place (the Temeraire) has 52...

  7. If the devs have said a ship's in development, I have no reason to doubt that it'll (eventually) be added to the game. However, it has generally taken them ages to add each ship. The ships themselves take time to make and implement into the game, and there have been a lot of other aspects of the game that have also required the devs' attention as well. I don't know the exact amount of time that most ships spend in development, but from what I've seen, over a year between a ship's announcement and its implementation into the game doesn't sound out of the ordinary.

    Three 3rd Rates in a row ?! And no new frigates in between ? No new 6th-Rates ? No trader ? Nothing ? Really ? Huh ? Sure ? Hmm ?

    *Arvenski breaks out his "List of ships ingame" thread*

    Counting 5th and 6th rates, there are 20 frigates in the game now. We know the Diana's in development, and there's still that Xebec and Kepler from ages ago that may or may not get ingame someday. Compare that to just two 3rd rates, one of which is a generic, less-decorated version of the other. The Bucentuare and Pavel are similar enough to 3rd rates that we may as well count them, too, just for the heck of it, but that's still only 4 ships. Two years ago, we heard that there were two more 3rd rates and two more 2nd rates in development, but we've heard nothing about them since then that I'm aware of. In other words, three new 3rd rates in development wouldn't hurt anything. Even if you compare 3rd rates to just 6th rates or just 5th rates, 3rd rates are pretty damn underrepresented by comparison. :P

    I'm sure the population's not what it was in 2016 either.

    http://steamcharts.com/app/311310

    The 2016 poll thread was closed in April of that year. According to Steam Charts, the average number of people ingame during that month was 1359. In the last 30 days, the average has been 455. While you don't need to be active ingame to be active on the forums, I'd guess that we'll have fewer voters this time around.

  10. We're really, really short on 3rd rates, if you ask me. I pretty quickly narrowed it down to the Temeraire and the Montañes classes for me, but it wasn't totally easy for me to choose between the two. The Montañes-class is the sort of lovely underdog ship that people should vote for to help it get ingame, IMO, but the Temeraire-class was a very influential design which I feel has been noticeably absent from the game. If the devs were to come out and say that they were already working on a Temeraire, I'd switch my vote to the Montañes. As things are, though, my vote's for the Temeraire: it's time we had one of them ingame. I'll be happy to see either one of them win, though.

  11. Chuliki, maybe edit (as in, slim down) that quote a bit? It's kinda annoying to have to scroll through all that again, when I've already seen it at the beginning of the topic. 

     

    Also, galleons (and probably race-built galleons, too; I don't know much about them), the Mary Rose, and Sovereign of the Seas are all too old for this game. I believe the oldest ship currently in the game is the Ingermanland, from 1715. I don't remember the exact cutoff date that the devs have said, but I don't think they want to go much earlier than that.
