Ned Loe Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I like it, but I have a feeling it will end up like Niagara if added to NA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Masterviolin Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 What a beautiful ship! I would love sailing her around in open world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malachi Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 I like it, but I have a feeling it will end up like Niagara if added to NA. Maybe, maybe not But La Créole is 25' longer than Niagara and was a proper sea-going vessel. And the 30-pound carronades could be 12-pounders ingame. And no comments on the lack of bow-chasers yet? Ohhhhh yes. Now THIS is something I could easily learn to love. My sentiments exactly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
