I want a picture of that guy in his cape! Good grief, that's a whole lotta a (damn fine) work!

I've collected images of ships, painting, and age of sail maps and charts from the 'net for a while. It's amazing what you can find out there that really gives you a feel for the era. If anyone is looking for something specific let me know, I may have found it.

In spite of you dismantling my ship beneath me yesterday, you sir are fantastic! Thou bawdy tickle-brained hedge-pig!

Nothing but 'Connection Error' here.

Wasa was a great ship, but all that decorative carving! Can you imagine being told off to polish the brite-work?

Unless you're going to affect gameplay with it you would just be asking for trouble. Even today if you say the wrong thing about someone's faith (even the 17th century roots) you're going to make people very angry. As for the occasional mention of religion, or inclusion of a chaplain, or whatever, that's no big thing. But remember the sort of reputations navy chaplains had before you invite one onto your ship!

No. Faith was a part of society, but at sea it was certainly not a priority unless you were unfortunate enough to sail under a blue-light sailor like Saumarez. They were not the norm, and it would ruin gameplay for those of us who are not religious to have to put up with it here. *(don't be offended by that comment, just stating facts as I see 'em)

The problem with a razee'd ship is that they were never quite 'right'. Cut down from their original design, they ended up as "neither fish nor flesh, nor good red herring". Stick with something that was what it was intended to be. The Agamemnon being a case in point.
