Does availability of plans not matter? Seems many did not meet the requested requirement of plans.
I would think that would come into play perhaps as a tiebreaker if the voting is close. I know some of the posters said they could not find any plans when posting their ships. Hopefully the admin will chime in.

I think we do as well.

I think that's the nicest one so far.

Yes it is. I hope they are successful and make a quality game to represent the genre. It's been neglected for a long time.
-
It will appeal to a different audience as it won't be as focused on realism and will lean toward the arcade side of the spectrum. It will also only be based around team battles without the open world/mmo aspect that NA will have.
-
The real QAR would be very cool to have in the game. You could also make the Whydah and have the two most famous and successful pirate vessels in history.

For those interested here's another set of model plans for the Rattlesnake. http://www.dlumberyard.com/Plans/rattlesnake.pdf

I think it would be a nice addition and a change of pace from all the combat. I'll get the chum slick ready

I don't think we'll see it according to previous developer comments. If others wanted to use it that's up to them but I don't think it would be very practical myself. I also don't think it would be overpowered as you would have different firing ranges for each type of shot making in impossible to accurately fire a full broadside unless you are very close. Everything would have to be fired a deck at a time.

i wondered this same thing a long time ago until I figured out it was the Bellona. I do like the looks of the older stern much better.

Your post did spark a question for me. I really do wonder what benefit clans will have have over the solo player if any.
I know the developers have mentioned that we can join a national navy such as British or US. By doing so you have a certain quota to fullfill or orders to execute to help the cause so to speak. I wonder how many of these tasks will be done randomly with other members of the same nation instead of fighting with your specific clan only. For example, you may be called to intercept an opposing nations fleet -- the question is will you be able to group with your clan or will you be thrust in with a mixed group of other nationals to complete it?
So many things we don't know yet.

No problem. There is still some uncertainty as well since we are not sure what the initial nations in the game will be. I think a lot of people are waiting in the wings to see how it will be handled.
-
Almost all the clan/society discussions are taking place in the Tavern. I think the Admin said there will be a guild section added soon.

Remember that for game purposes I expect the game developers won't restrict you to a specific Nations ship list. We have no idea really how realm vs realm is going to be achieved as yet.
Once we receive this explanation it will answer a lot. I'm sure some of these generic ships like the frigate (not in game currently) and the 2nd rate being asked about in Shipyard will possibly fill those gaps for nations that don't have a represented ship of a certain class.

Well, even if the bottom deck was obstructed you are still able to fire 30 per side. Some reports say it was faster than the Constitution and sailed well for it's size. Anyway, that's enough discussion about one ship. Plenty of others to consider as well.

Looks like a nice ship and i would surely fear those 90 32pdr guns
90x32 does sound delightful doesn't it?

If you needed a larger US sotl than the America, which was give to the French, there is the USS Independence 1814 which saw a lot of action.
I posted it on the first page as a Razee but it was originally a ship of 90 guns http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Independence_%281814%29
Mediterranean Fleet, 1814–1822
Master sailmaker's plan of USS IndependenceLaunched on 22 June 1814 in the Boston Navy Yard, she immediately took on guns and was stationed with frigate USS Constitution to protect the approaches to Boston Harbor. Flying the broad pennant of Commodore William Bainbridge, and under command of Captain William M. Crane, she led her squadron from Boston on 3 July 1815 to deal with piratical acts of the Barbary States against American merchant commerce.
Peace had been enforced by a squadron under Stephen Decatur by the time Independence arrived in the Mediterranean. But she led an impressive show of American naval might before Barbary ports that encouraged them to keep the peace treaties concluded. Having served adequate notice of rising U.S. seapower and added to the prestige of the Navy and the Nation, Independence returned to Newport, Rhode Island on 15 November 1815. She continued to wear the pennant of Commodore Bainbridge at Boston until 29 November 1819, then was flagship of Commodore John Shaw until placed in ordinary in 1822.

A razee may be an attractive option.
Razee you say...
USS Independence was a wooden-hulled, three-masted ship, originally a ship of the line and the first to be commissioned by the United States Navy. Originally a 90-gun ship, in 1836 she was cut down by one deck and re-rated as a 54-gun frigate.

Basically what Flip said however you can find Naval Action under the Greenlight section if you want to follow it.
When you get your key in email click 'games' at the top of Steam and then 'activate a product on steam' and follow it through to input your key. The game will automatically download after that.

Just hope the Danish Christian Vll From 1767 will be brought into the game
Who can resist the most beautiful 90 Gun Second rate
I can vote for this as well. Very nice looking ship.

Rattlesnake 1780/1781
Massachusetts Privateer Ship Rattlesnake was designed by John Peck of Boston, Massachusetts, and probably built at Plymouth in 1780.1 She was very lightly built and had no wales, and was reputedly very fast. Rattlesnake appeared as a miniature frigate, with detached quarterdeck and forecastle.

HMS Mordaunt just because it's a great looking ship
Bonhomme Richard
The first USS Bonhomme Richard, formerly Duc de Duras, was a frigate in the Continental Navy. She was originally an East Indiaman, a merchant ship built in France for the French East India Company in 1765, for service between France and the Orient. She was placed at the disposal of John Paul Jones on February 4, 1779, by King Louis XVI of France as a result of a loan to the United States by French shipping magnate, Jacques-Donatien Le Ray.

We are looking for good members if you want to do more than salute

I was just thinking about posting the Independence and even the America (though it was given to the French). As sweet as the Constitution is we need something larger for the US.
Here's another pic of the Independence in later Razee form

That is a damn good looking 2nd rate. I'm just not sure if it's generic enough for their purpose.

When I originally posted the Rattlesnake it was due to it being a unique ship that would slot in under the Surprise and it's plans were readily available. My thought was it's speed, maneuverability, and firepower would make it a very fun small ship and it also looks nice. It is a US ship but it was captured by the British and renamed HMS Cormorant until they realized they already had a ship by that name.
*edit* There is also a thought that the ship later became the French Le Tonnant 1793 as the lines are the same.
I tried to suggest some US ships because I figured that the nations such as Britain and France would have many more ships by default based on the sheer volume they had.
