Well, maybe she'll look better with alternate paint schemes. Personally, I don't mind her current colors. I think the problem is that she has quite the tumblehome, making her wide near the waterline, and she has a very rounded (blunt) bow. Put those two factors together, and her bow looks rather chubby. The rest of her looks fine, in my opinion.

For those of you who still haven't seen what this ship looks like, I just noticed that there are a few screenshots of it on the Wiki.

What's the color now? Please don't tell me they made her black and white... Edit: Nevermind, I've seen her. She's just more yellow now.

Wait, what? What are you talking about? --- Also: I'll update the OP to show that these ships have been released. I'm not sure how I feel about these ships being event rewards: I mean, if the events are fairly straightforward and easy for anyone to complete, it might not make much difference. On the other hand, if the events are going to be hard so that these ships will be 'rare', I think that's a bad idea, because the main lineup of ships could've used these additions. Also, devs begging for Steam ratings like YouTubers begging for likes & subs. Ugh.

'La Resistance' French 24-pdrs Frigate, 1794 (With Plans)
Arvenski replied to Ned Loe's topic in Frigates and similar ships
She's not the most attractive ship, either... -
We're getting more ships now, yes. Earlier, we weren't getting much, nor were we hearing much. Surprises are nice, I agree, but I also think it's also nice to know that the devs are working on the content that I consider important. Also, if you're suggesting that they're keeping some ships in reserve so they can release a whole bunch when the game leaves Early Access, I guess that makes sense. However, two of the ships we've waited the longest for, namely Agamemnon and L'Ocean, appear to be finally on the brink of some form of release. Unless they only give those ships to the tournament winners and then make everyone else wait until the game comes out to get their hands on them, what you're talking about doesn't seem to be the case for those two. As for Indefatigable, she was picked by the players, and the players are expecting her and looking forward to playing her. It doesn't seem to make sense (to me, at least) for her to be kept in reserve, then, especially given that a full release of the game seems to still be a ways off. I mean, if they want to keep ships like the Edymion or the Kepler in reserve, that makes more sense, since AFAIK they chose those ships themselves, there's been little fanfare regarding them, and as such they'd probably come as a nice surprise to a lot of players. With Indefatigable, though, this is what comes to mind: "We've released the game, and as a present to you players, we've added the ship you asked for about two years ago." Yeah, I'm not convinced. With Indy, at least, I'd say they're just taking a while to release her. A couple months ago, that would've frustrated me, but this apparent resurgence in ship development lately (Bucentaure released; Santa Cecilia, L'Hermione, and the gunboat shown and looking ready for release; L'Ocean and Agamemnon looking to be on their way) has gladdened me.

Btw, Olav, maybe you can get the devs to give you a L'Ocean and an Agamemnon, too, so you can make videos of them.

Thanks; I've added the Rattlesnake (Heavy) to the list, and moved Agamemnon to the 4th rate category. As for the 2nd rates, Admin said this a while ago (October of last year, to be precise): As for those three new ships, one must've been Bucentaure, one may or may not have been Christian VII (depends on whether they were working on her way back then, before she was voted in), and one's still unknown as far as I am aware. So, that leaves one unknown ship, or possibly two, hence my listing two in the OP.

Ah, thanks. I tend not to go further than the Shipyard and General Discussion, so I didn't see that.

Alcmene (1774), beautiful French frigate
Arvenski replied to akd's topic in Frigates and similar ships
I'm rather taken with her. I like how that poop deck gives her a stern reminiscent of a ship of the line, even though she's a frigate with a single gun deck. It makes for an interesting combination of looks that doesn't detract from her appearance. -
Well, she would look out-of-place next to a number of the ships we have in-game now, just because they're from around 100 (give or take a decade or two) years later than her.
-
Alright, thanks.

Is she even within the game's timeline?

The Black Ship .... HMS HERMIONE 1782
Arvenski replied to ragnar hairy trousers's topic in Frigates and similar ships
Wait, has Santa Cecilia been released? Because she wasn't in the patch notes that I read... -
Personally, I don't care about it either way. I'm just glad to have the ship.
