Nice.

"When the battle started, we were sailing towards each other, and I wanted to pass him by broadside to broadside at close range, but before that he made a turn and I crashed right into his flank. He rolled over onto his side and I was pushing him onward like this for a bit. When I stopped, he went back upright again. " Oh, I hate it when they do that. It looks like you're going to pass broadside to broadside, like you say, and then they'll turn into your path at the last minute. Before the last change to how leaks work, a solid ramming hit like that (just the hit, no capsizing) could have you taking on a lot of water, so there were a couple of times where I nearly lost my ship right at the start of a mission after AI ships turned in front of me like that. Now I've gotten to the point where I kinda expect them to do that, so I watch them closely as we're approaching each other at the start of the battle, and then I turn the other way at the first hint of them starting to turn.

I was wondering that as well. She actually looks rather pretty to me. I'm guessing that the problem is that she's very low in the water (her lower gun deck ports are very close to the waterline), but I don't really know.

Yeah, but the generic 3rd-rate is a 74-gun ship. I couldn't tell if he meant that or the Ingermanland, since he said 64.

Ingermanland? She's Russian. And historical.

Santa Cecilia is the "Black Ship" HMS Hermione (not to be confused with the French L'Hermione, known for her modern replica), in Spanish service: http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/4474-the-black-ship-hms-hermione-1782/, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Hermione_(1782)

Ah, thanks.

What ship is the two-decker to St. Lawrence's starboard?

My thoughts as well. I actually proposed Vrijheid in the last Player Ship Selection poll. Like a bunch of the other proposals, though, she got slaughtered, and at the end she only had 28 votes.

She's a mix of designs, created by the developers. As I understand it, she's part Russian and part Chapman (Swedish).

Yeah, I agree that a Temeraire-class ship seems likely. I mean, that unknown 3rd rate could be anything, but considering how many Temeraire-class ships were built and how noteworthy they are, it makes sense (to me, at least) that we'd get one of them sooner rather than later.

No need to be an ass, Intrepido. (I know, I'm one to talk sometimes. ) I agree that El Montañés would be a nice ship to see in-game, but as far as I know we don't have any indication that she's in development.

See my edit above.

That's a good question, actually. I suppose I took a wild guess at how many guns she might carry. Although, now that you mention it, she could end up being a 4th-rate like the Constitution. (On a similar note, I just saw that this thread says that Kepler's gun deck is the same length as that of the Consti. Hmm.) edit: This is where I must've gotten the number of guns from. I'd completely forgotten about it:

I always thought Le Redoubtable was a Tonnant/Bucentaure-class ship. Shows you what I know... :lol

Has it occurred to you that L'Ocean might not be available yet, even for moderators like Olav?

Personally, I don't really mind the cabin. I'm just glad to see this ship in the game.

Nice! Thanks for posting that. And thanks to Olav for the screenshots.

There's been some talk about it by staff members. No huge posts or reveals, but enough to understand that it's being worked on. For instance, in the OP (under "Sources"), I've quoted a post by Mirones that says that we'll be able to razee an Agamemnon to get an Indefatigable.

Thanks for the pics, Olav!

"Soontm" means something like "probably not very soon." What/how is that in-game?

Didn't know about the Prince de Neufchatel. Okay. However, what this guy said is still a good point:

And then maybe by next July we'll get the Christian VII! How wonderful is tha... oh, wait, it isn't.

1.) Thanks! I appreciate the effort you put into this. 2.) Why can't people just use Adblock?

Fair enough.
