I'm just gonna say this: she's big.
-
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.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the announcement was just that they'd started working on her.
-
What did happen to the Wappen von Hamburg we should get?
They only announced her fairly recently. It'll be a while.
-
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.

Players ask for features and ships we ask for reviews - Fair and honest trade.
We never asked for positive reviews. We never asked for the reviews at all. it was finally time to ask players to vote their opinion no matter what their opinion is.
Perhaps you should leave your review and move on - if you don't like the game or our direct approach (a two way street with players) you definitely should say it there.
What I mean is, it reminds me of a YouTuber saying something like "If this video gets 300 likes, I'll make another." Perhaps it is a fair trade, with the way you describe it, but it's not something I expected to hear from professional game developers.

Am I to understand that there are only two models of the Brig, the Traders Brig and the Navy Brig? then what about the plain Brig as listed in the available ships. Has the Navy Brig replaced the Brig model, or are all three still available? I'm confused!
Wait, what? What are you talking about?

Also:
New ships
To celebrate the increase in the steam ratings 4 ships will be added to the game as event ships.
- Rattlesnake Heavy – event blueprint
- L Ocean – event blueprint
- Agamemnon – event blueprint
- Gunboat – redeemable for existing users and event blueprint. Redeemable will be given out by end of the week.
Event ships are available from special events only – that will be available for for all users on PvP and PvE servers.
If ratings continue to grow we will try hard to add more ships before release. We need your support to make the game better. Please go to Steam and rate the game if you have not done so. Thank you for all the generous support!
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.

isn't Cerberus a 5th-rate in game?
I guess she is. I didn't realize that; thanks for pointing it out.
-
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.
-
I think it's the third rates that need some love right now. We only have one 74-gun SoL design (in two variations), despite that type of ship being very widely used. I'd say it's time we got more 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.
-
-
Thanks for alerting me about these.
A question, though: Is the gunboat based off of a historical design from a specific country, or is it just a generic small boat?
Also, I should list the Rattlesnake (Heavy) on here as well. How many guns does it have?
Also, wow, Facebook is annoying...
-
The tournament which is posted in the nationals news.
Ah, thanks. I tend not to go further than the Shipyard and General Discussion, so I didn't see that.

Well we know the Tournument winners are gonna get one, so for public release id expect another few months before release.
What tournament winners?
-
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.
-
Wouldn't be a bad third rate to fit between the Agamemnon and the Bellona, in terms of guns. Her sailing capabilities would be the kicker.
Is she even within the game's timeline?
-
To the developers: What about an Agamemnon, eh?
"Nelson's Favourite" would be really nice...
It's already in development, mate.
-
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.
'Ocean' French 118 guns I-rate
in Ships of the line

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.
