Ryan21 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Im not sure if the Devs are still taking suggestions for new ships to be modeled before the release of the game, but a ship of the line a little later in period with different looking stern works, slightly different rig and more spartan bow features would give the game a sense of how ship construction evolved quickly from the 1700's to the 1820's. HMS Ganges was an 84 gun 2nd rate ship of the line, built of teak in the Royal Navies Bombay shipyard in 1821, she has a couple very notable differences in comparison with ships designed in the 1750s like Victory. Instead of main and mizzen staysails she has gaff rigged spencers on the fore and main that can be brailed in like the spanker. Her stern gallery has a distinctly different design than that of earlier days, and her bow is devoid of the fancy looking head rails you see on ships like Bellona and Victory. This picture was taken of her at anchor in front of my hometown ( Victoria, British Columbia) in the 1850's. She was flagship of the Pacific Station between 1857-61. She was notable in that she was the last active duty Sailing ship to serve as a flagship in the Royal Navy. She is a Canopus class ship of the line. She was in active service for more than 100 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillBox Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 She's reminiscent of Le Valmy of France though she was built years after. She's beautiful, and it's nice to see actual photographs of these ships in their heyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward Thatch Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 If there is one ship that's worth consideration is Queen Anne's Revenge, Previously ( La Concorde, The Concorde ) understandably finding reliable and accurate specifications for this ship is difficult to say the least. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundershield Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I'm with Ed; Having some old, actual pirate ships would be pretty friggin' sweet. Also shameless self promoting post, but if this thread is about additional ship suggestions, here's the stern of the Sophia Amalia again: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe for the Pirate ships the developers can take liberties in the design its not like they will ever find plans for them. I'm kind of hoping they do add the ship, it will bring a different flavor to the games current set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leviathan Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 The QAR would be nice. I also like the idea of capturing a ship and then modifying it to fit my own tastes and style. Creating a new legendary ship to be feared on the seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirones Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 well so far i could only find this of HMS Concorde yes she was british and then captured by france then Hornigold. sadly cant find any hullplans of use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKPyrate Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 It would also be great to have many different smaller vessels in the game. Schooners, cutters and brigs played an important role and could give a broad array of options for newer players. I'd love to see a trader, such as Lady Washington (either as a sloop or a brig), and smaller boats such as John Paul Jones' Providence or the early U.S. Revenue Cutters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Smith Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Well maybe contact this guy from forum: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=333&t=41265 he seems making great job with ship modeling! His L`Aurore frigate looks impressive for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Vernon Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 My God Bart......you are right, that is a fabulous bit of work.

Mirones Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Lol @Wind So how many times are you going to plug the Friedrich Wilhelm zu Pferde? I love both ships, but you seem slightly obsessed... well it would be the first ship used by the germans/prussians ingame + something bigger than an 8gun boat and the mordaunt would fill up the british line as missing 4th rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hood Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 There are much better British fourth rates than the Mordaunt. There should be different ships as opposed to PotBS transfers in my opinion. HMS Leopard et cetera I think would be far better suited to the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
