there you go

Awesome! Im new to the forums. Still navigating my way around here.

Are all clippers out of timeline? Are 3 masted schooners within period? Ive seen only photos of 2.

Im excited to see what other ships will be added! Possibly some of the Ottoman galley-frigates?! Im more familiar with modern ships but werent there some bigger naval cutters also?

[Mirones]

well i couldnt find a name of a 3mast but i readed there where some build around 1800

 

the teaclippers you name are out of timeline 1670-1820 +-5

 awesome thanks, didnt realize the time frame.   im going to call some maritime museums and library's and see what i can find, hopefully they will be able to send me some good stuff.  im really fascinated by the smaller and more agile ships.  although i reckon there wont be much whaling ingame so it makes for a narrow search xD

 

it seems that there are alot of ships that got refitted, at one time they may have been a schooner or a sloop and then guns added and were rigged different etc and became brigs or ships of the line.    so will ships need the ship plans for all retro fits also?

[maturin]

Just present the plans of the ship as it should look in the game.

[Harry White]

Probably a nice medium with speed but a whack  

[Otakar]

"The Mammoth" (1813)

HMS Flying Fish (1806)- ex "Revenge" (built in 1805) the plans were used for the Shamrock Class ( Bramble, Holly, Juniper, Misletoe, Thistle, Shamrock- built in bermuda 1808-9) Royal Navy

Turns out a lot of three masters were built and many two masters were converted. The confusion may lie in that the Royal Navy classed schooners as 'ship sloops' or 'sloops of war' also three masted Bermuda sloops can be considered as schooners as they had the same hull design and sails as the Baltimore Clipper schooners.

*will add ship plans as soon as i recieve the copies of them*

[Mirones]

nice one mate

[Eyeless_Camper]

I sure hope Gun yawls and Gun sloops come to the game. 

 

Article about Gunboats.

 

Two variants were the most common, a larger 20 m (66 ft) "gun sloop" (from the Swedish kanonslup) with two 24-pounders, one in the stern and one in the bow, and a smaller 15 m (49 ft) "gun yawl" (kanonjolle) with a single 24-pounder. 

 

[maturin]

The gunboat was my favorite vessel in PotBS, lol.

[CaptLouis]

Most interested in cutters, brigs, sloops and lighter frigates. I'm very keen to experience the differences between ketch-rigged and snow-rigged brig sloops. Also, the ship-rigged sloops were so numerous as to make up the majority of AoS vessels. I actually voted for 3rd rates too, because this is the backbone of the fleets.

[Subutai]

American 44 hands down. I would also be very happy with an 18-lber 5th-rate, of the Lively or Leda class. And of course, the good 'n' trusty 74.

[Mirones]

all ships that we will be getting 

[CubanMafia]

I like to sail big ships

[maturin]

CubanMafia, what is the big ship in your avatar?

I would love to command a heavy frigate. Never really liked the feel of a SOTL, and didn't like the combat abilities of anything smaller than a frigate.

and he cannot lie,

you other brothers cant deny,

when a ship sails in with an itty bitty beam and three big masts in your face, you get... 

[Chilly Willy]

I'll bet he'll love the stern on the frigates

[Lord Hood]

I personally look forward to sailing the line of battleships. I would love to see a model of HMS Barfleur. Not just because I am a fan of Lord Hood and she was one of his flagships but also because she was a beautiful warship and appeared in the majority of the major actions of the latter eighteenth century. Anywhere between a third and a first rate is what I will aim to cater myself to. HMS Victory/HMS Barfleur (if the game indulges in the model) and most certainly a British third. After due training in the game I would most likely find myself in the bigger fleet engagements as that appeals more to me than the single ship action (was heavily involved with port battles in PotBS and they shall look like childs-play in comparison to this game).

[Ashleigh Bagster]

I am kind of torn on this one. I do see myself in a 5th rate most of the time but I do want to do larger fleet engagements as well and for that one should use a solid ship of the line. I think I will be using a 3rd rate for that. I loved the Port battles in PotBS and long for the epic engagements again.

[Aubrey]

I voted for Merchants and unrated ships, although I would sure check out some lower rated ships as well.

Never have been particularily interested in a first rate or something like that, just not the 'bigger is better' kind of guy who needs to control the ultimate vessel.

 

So gimme a nice Brig or a Fluyt and I shall be happy
