That's the thing... The ship was ordered in 1821. So teoricaly it is IN the time frame.
. I'm pretty sure that the ship had to be completed during the time frame, not just ordered. If that were the case we could get the 140 gun USS Pennsylvania that was authorized in 1816 but not built until 1837.

There is a long way to go but I wouldn't be disappointed to see the current top 3 make it. There would be something for everyone.
Powerful Warship
Armed Merchantman
Fast Privateer

If you click "more reply options" it should give you the option to attach files below the text box. You can also edit your original post and click 'use full editor' and it should show the same thing.

That looks 1000x better. Very nice model

That version does look much better

I do absolutely love the paint scheme of the Bonhomme Richard and hope it makes it one day. A very classy and historical ship.
However, my vote had to go for the Rattlesnake.

Nice info Alex. I have read that 6lbers were used originally (though the British opted for smaller guns when they had possession) but that operating was cramped as you said.
-
I haven't been able to locate any hard numbers for it.

There has been an awful lot of comments and posts recently about removing the name from above enemy players ships, mostly that it is a targetting aid (Though I fail to see how this is any different than using the top of an enemy mast for gauging range)
I think I know the discussion you are referring to. My understanding was that the name removal proposal wasn't because people were using the visible name as an elevation or reference marker for aiming, but that certain players due to their status or reputation, were being focused on with extreme fire because people could see which ship they were and single them out. The argument was basically for the ships be to more 'anonymous' during the battle.
I'm not arguing for or against but wanted to clarify.

That's a tough one. With it's characteristics I could see it being either top dog of light pvp or the smallest of the large ships and being tossed in regular pvp. It could really go either way but I may lean toward regular pvp.
-
Keep in mind in the end there will only be PvP and no light version (I think). The Snow is limited to 6lbers but even with the same size guns the Rattlesnake will play quite differently due to it's much higher speed. It would also be a great island hopping ship for quick errands while still packing a punch.

I'd love to see a few corvettes/lighter make their way onto the oceans; I've seen a few models of the Rattlesnake that caught my eye.
It is a sweet looking ship and would be a little terror fitted with 6 or 9lbers.
*shameless Rattlesnake spam*

I personally wouldn't have any issue with it. However, I can see it turning into a hot-button issue and causing problems. It would need to be implemented carefully.
-
Fixed it for you
-
If the Indefatigable makes it I hope it's in frigate form (at least as an option) as I think it looks much better that way.
Any idea how much longer the initial poll will go?
-
If the names were to be removed there would still need to be something above the enemy to help designate a target. You could focus but just wouldn't know who you were focusing on. The ability to see friendly names as is would be a good idea as well.
-
Did you create an enjin account in the past?
-
Do you have any good sources for this, wiki is kinda lacking
Everything I've been able to find has routinely talked about how fast the Rattlesnake was. One source said it was the fastest ship in the British fleet when they captured it. I'll have to try and find it again.
-
If we are indeed lucky enough to get the Rattlesnake we could keep that in mind. It's not the most armored of ships but it was a burner by all accounts. This ship could be slower but yet more armored in comparison to add some diversity while the Rattlesnake would be the fast and nimble counterpart.

I don't think the devs are too worried about it in the current state of the game since we are testing. However, once the game is released they have mentioned that doing such things as friendly fire or attacking people you shouldn't, will result in negative reputation. If enough crime is committed you will stand trial (player trial similar to that in ArcheAge) and be punished accordingly. The worst offenses will result in pirate status and you will have limited port access and be KOS.

I updated the original post with the most recent graphic

Nice find. Very nice lines and I like the drab coloration.
-
Would Bonhomme Richard be developed as both a merchantman and a warship? I can see great value to the game there, but as a warship only she seems to much a one-off. She is certainly not a frigate.
That is a good point that I wondered myself since it was originally an East Indiaman. Could be very diverse.

The Rattlesnake is small
