Thank you for your in depth replies, it explained a lot to me.
Even though using both sails at the same time could be cripling to the cutter's sailing performance, most european designs did use both sails at the same time.
Is the NA model an european design? Or did the devs choose not to incude the mainsail because of performance reasons?
Cheers

So, to get this straight. A cutter is a vessel, a bit longer and larger than a sloop, with a square rigged sail plan, in which there is a square course and a top sail? Being the ship still classified as a cutter if it only has the top sail deployed?
Wouldn't the ship lack thrust power without the square course?
Thank you.

Hello Game Labs!
Glad to see this masterpiece moving along this quickly!
Although I have one small question regarding the basic cutter in the current Naval Action.
The cutter is a ship that has a square rigged sail plan, with a big mainsail and one smaller on top. Though the in game cutter is lacking the main sail, only having the topsail.
Why is this?
Thank you.

I wasn't aware of these two ships, thanks for enriching my general knowledge.
I would certainly enjoy to sail a Portuguese ship in game!
Cheers

I'm brazilian! Studying filmmaking... we study him in Portuguese class...

Indeed, and each character is totally different! Ricardo Reis and Alvaro Campos are opposites, yet they will be in the same test -.-Yeah.... being a college student I have to agree with you... I'm exams I'm always like "its a Fernando Pessoa poem but I have no damn idea of wich charachter it is"..
Its a pain in the ass...
Why are you studying Fernando Pessoa? Are you Portuguese?

I am Portuguese and I can confirm this, Portugal has a lot of poetry, lyrics and texts about the discovering of Brasil, the path to India, among other discoveries.
Although Fernando Pessoa is a bit of a pain in the ass with all the made up characters such as Álvaro Campos, Ricardo Reis, Alberto Caeiro, etc. I have to study them for my first language subject. I just can't get the exams right when it's about Fernando Pessoa.
Oh well.

any information what the leviathan is based of? kinda want an big hauler i readed the thread of the one who made her modell but thats long time ago.
I have heard that the person who modelled the Leviathan also modelled the Agamemnon, we could find the guy back in Potbs forums, shame they were closed months ago. I quite enjoyed to read what happened on Antigua and Roberts, there were some funny threads back then.

Bom Natal para todos e um bom ano novo!

Welcome to Naval Action Spyboy!
I'm sure you'll enjoy hanging around
Cheers

Btw are there any news on these WiP ships regarding status or eventual implementation date?
I would like to be aware as well.

Indeed, as much as I love the ship models released so far, it can get a bit dull seeing the same ships over and over. The HMS Ontario and the Santissima should give some fresh ships to shoot on
-
Thank you for replying. That is good, means that it is almost finished!
Cheers

Another knot? No way
I'm enjoying to sail the Trincomalee so much, I even killed a Bellona solo, against a player. -
Hello Game-labs!
Having voted on HMS Ontario, which would be a nice ship to fill the gap between the Cutter and the Surprise, I am curious about how finished is the model?
And what about the Santissima Trinidad?
Have a good day

Sorry , no cigar. I'm just out of the game in one of the worst moods possible. My constitution pitted against a brig and a trinco. I had the brig several times on my disengaged broadside, didn't fire once so the chap could get some damage while the battle was going. The trinco was being well driven and giving me a pretty good fight, I'm concentrated on takin him out...
when this...I'm not going to use the adjective he deserves... slams his ship against my bows in a headon crash taking my bowsprit with him. He ruined the whole battle with an absolute dick move. I couldn't spare a repair for the bowsprit, and without it the trinco was easily able to outmaneouver me and massacre me.
Sorry, but I'm not doing that again. I may allow someone to put some shots on me at the battle's end if I have enough armor to spare, but during the battle, from now on any small ship I have on my sights is going to pay for the consequences of being there the second I have a shot. I'm not going to have this BS pulled on me again after I've been generous enough not to propel someone into orbit with 24 pounders so he can get some damage in a game only to see him turn around and use his ship as a guided missile.
I was the player in the Trincomalee in the aforementioned battle, I also got a little pissed that he ruined a pretty fun cannonball exchange. We were both beaten down, but timing of repairs and aiming could have won the situation for either of us.
When I am alone against a far inferior ship, I let them destroy a big portion of my hull, even after wasting repairs, then sink them in two broadsides, but I wouldn't do that when busy with another player. But I get you Ramjb, you just wanted to be helpful!
Perharps next time the fate of the battle is decided by skill and seamanship, not rammers!

In this PvP match the brig got itself in front of my Trincomalee, while I was busy shooting the other Trincomalee. This strange collision happened, which resembles to elephants humping each other.
This isn't anything new to the devs, but I wanted to let them know.

Hey there ligatorswe!
I agree with your statement, the people in this community are the best I have ever seen in an online game! I hope this lasts well beyond the Sea Trials
Every battle I had with you, you were outnumbered, sorry about killing you on such circumstances.
Cheers

I'd very much like the POTBS Myrmidon (La Renommee)... have you guys seen that STERN?
You can't look at a French lady like that and tell me you're not interested...
Ah the Myrmidon! That ship was awesome when I was starting to PvP in Potbs, good DPS, good turning and looks great!
Would sail her /10

Loved the Raa (Disco)
Still supporting stralsund frigate, beautifulnship
also raa frigate or tigre frigate
Raa, that would be a splendid 6th rate here.
Looks like a few people have a liking for the Raa frigate, me included, it's a nice frigate, not too heavy, not too light, it has decent speed and turning ability. Its main point (in Potbs at least) was the high reload capacity due to its many low lb cannons, I think they were 10lbs.
Something like this would be fun to see in Naval Action. ONLY if it is realistic of course, as I am not sure on the actual ship itself, and the cannon poundages that it packed.

Hey Cjflint! Glad you're back!
Yes, Potbs forums are still down, I highly doubt that they will ever put them back online, as a way to limit interaction with players, no patch notes, no discussion, no guides, no information, no nothing. Potbs is, unfortunately, a milking machine since Portalus took over.
Meanwhile Naval Action has entered into Sea Trials, people who pre order the game become testers, although the people who already were testers do not have to pre order.
I highly recomend you to pre order, it will be the cheapest buy, since the price will only get higher in the future. Besides the fact that you are supporting Gamelabs and speeding up the development process.
The sea trials are basically the alpha test with a progression system, to get bigger ships. You can do both PvP and PvE. Now there are far more people, which makes up for some fun battles!
Hope this gets you updated!

Oneironz...Cool case.
Thank you! It was a lot of fun to build!
Games and Steam run flawlessly on windows 8, never had troubles. Unless you plan on playing very old games, for example, Midtown Madness 2 runs terribly, but on windows 7 is smooth.
I'm enjoying to sail the Trincomalee so much, I even killed a Bellona solo, against a player. 
Cutter sail plan question
in Unrated and other light combat vessels

That is all I wanted to know. The NA devs avoided the odd sail to make the ship more aesthetic, and avoid the pain of graphical bugs such as sail clipping?
How often was that sail used anyway?
