siguma4 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Catarina_do_Monte_Sinai This is my dream, I really want to see the ship in this game! many many thanks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlavDeng2 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 While she certainly looks interesting, she is a couple of centuries too early for the time line of Naval Action. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernon Merrill Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 She would be great....... for target practice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragger Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 140 very small guns by 1715-1830 standards. Still she could be a hilarious fun thing against Brigs and unrates PvE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cragger Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maturin Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 she would probably just be sterncamped no problem. Don't pass too close to the stern or they will just drop cannonballs onto your deck from the sterncastle. Glug glug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eishen Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haratik Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Maybe old gamers should remenber first "sid Meier Pirates" allowed gameplay in (4?) different ages, all them with different ships. 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
