Portuguese carrack (1st rate war ship) -Santa Catarina do Monte Sinai (with pictures and plan)

[siguma4]

I am a sailling fan. As we all know everyone has his/her own hobby. 
 
Unfortunately, there are no my favorite ship styles in this game. I think this idea not only for me. 
 
Only one type of sailling boats is my best love which is grande carrack.
 
The most famous grande carrack in the history which named Santa Catarina do Monte Sinai. A Portuguese war ship.
 
The detail informations of this carrack as below:
 
Santa Catarina do Monte Sinai was a higher-castled Portuguese carrack with 140 cannons, launched down in 1520 (800t, length 38 m, width 13 m, draft 4-4,5 м). Built in Kochi, India around 1512 it had two square rig masts and is depicted on a painting attributed to Joachim Patinir.
 
It was destoryed in 17th-century. Santa Catarina do Monte Sinai was the last carrack existed in 17th-century.

 

I really want to see this ship appear in this game. She is so wonderful, both high forecastle and poop make it looks very majestic. Huge amounts of cannons make it become a very powerful war ship. and it looks huge as well.

 

I think this is a perfect ship and will be very popular. It looks nice and special.

While she certainly looks interesting, she is a couple of centuries too early for the time line of Naval Action.

She would be great.......    for target practice.

140 very small guns by 1715-1830 standards. Still she could be a hilarious fun thing against Brigs and unrates PvE.

she would probably just be sterncamped no problem.

Would be a nasty surprise to those that tried due to the fact that Carracks unlike more modern ships had many guns to the stern

Don't pass too close to the stern or they will just drop cannonballs onto your deck from the sterncastle. Glug glug.

Maybe old gamers should remenber first "sid Meier Pirates" allowed gameplay in (4?) different ages, all them with different ships 

 

In a perfect world we could have different servers for different times (all of them full of players!), it would be simply wrong having caravels and carrack sharing seas with modern frigates

No? Sid Meier's Pirates! had the same ships for every playable era in that game. The chances of obtaining certain types were rarer in some eras than others.
