SteelSandwich Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I was under the assumption that a ship poll was announced. Since i didnt read anything regarding it for a while, i figured i might as well ask. Anyone got a clue when its due? I got some excellent ship suggestions waiting 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeBoiteux Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) After the "when", the most important question is : will there be some selection criteria as there was with the last poll (that was everything but well-represented nations like France, UK, US).

SteelSandwich Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Interesting Tommy, im inclined on posting the followings ships (all have hull ready): 1806 Admiraal de Ruyter, mighty 80-gunner, check this topic for images, plans and additional information: the 1806 Venus, 20-gun corvet with interesting battle performance, check this topic for images, plans and additional information: The 1802 Euridice, a beautifull 32-gun frigate with interesting hull design. Beautifull ship, a more elaborate topic will be created for her, in the meantime this has to suffice: The 1785 Delft: Besides those, im heavily supporting the Fama for this poll as well. I think she is a beautiful ship that not only will suit our current line-up very well, i think the nation she represents as well is well worth it. @LeBoiteux I sure do hope so! Would be a nightmare for the underrepresented nations if those would be allowed. Then again, i would not be surprised either way to be honest. Small nations don't get much love so far anyways. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maturin Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 That hull design for Eurydice looks a lot better as a model than it does on the draught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 We need to create the Fighter^H^H Fama-Mafia (trampled on a pun d'oh) to get her in game. It will be a long shot... get ready! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Small" nations have already had love during the last poll... IMHO, the first criteria for the selection of a ship shouldn't be her nationality but her looks, sailing qualities, number of guns, class... Light frigates, corvettes, ship-rigged sloops and sloop-of-war should get more love Edited February 23, 2017 by LeBoiteux 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Masterviolin Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I would love to see ship-rigged sloops added into the game en masse. Realistically, they made up large portions of navies and were common at sea. They're also pretty neat; I would enjoy sailing such vessels. We currently have this jump from the brigs/cerb to 9pdr frigates (with rattle technically being our only ship-rigged sloop I think), skipping over that entire class. Second, I would support more third rate designs. We just have the two third rates, both virtually identical with little variation; it would be neat to see some more third rate designs out there in-game.

Light frigates, corvettes and sloop-of-war should get more love By all means i didn't mean to imply that the last poll wasn't good. Nor was it my attempt to insinuate that nationality was the first criteria. I'm of the opinion that one can find plenty of good looking, well sailing and interesting ships in all nations. I'm 100% certain that IF the attempt was made, and the effort to research them, you'd have an excellent line-up with diversity on national level as well. And judging by the shipyard, the research effort was made. I'm absolutely confused to why ships like the wappen are made, partially to please the german backers of this game, but this line of thinking can't be extended to the regular ship building?

Indeed like the unselected Spanish 16-gun corvette Descubierta or the Dano-Norwegian 24-gun frigate Christiansborg of the 2016 poll But there'd also be some interesting French ships to add to NA Edited February 23, 2017 by LeBoiteux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thonys Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 well i just don't understand why there is not a specific nation poll with several ships of that nation that would be a far more interesting solution specially because they would do some starter packs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sella Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I'm pretty sure that a couple of Dutch ships will be the winners for sure Steel so don't worry Other than that it would be amazing to see the Fama ingame after all the info @Fluffy Fishy has gathered. Ship rigged sloops or sloops in general, corvettes and ships from countries not so common would be amazing. And at last we will have to wait for them to actually make it into the game. The waiting and the agony for that is the worst part! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Fishy Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I would like to see a lot more options on the 2nd-4th rates generally, especially as 3rd-4th rates (in game rating) made up the majority of fighting fleets during the broad time period, with 74s still being the most numerous fighting ships of the period for the majority of maritime nations. I have poured days of my life into that Fama thread now, she's not an easy ship to research either and would do anything to claw in a vote or two for her, she would also be a fantastic choice to make 4th rate battles more interesting than 25 Agamemnons vs 25 Agamemnons. Other than that Venice needs representation mainly due to the staggering history, to name some points that deserve recognition of things Venice did; The first scientifically designed ships, The first super frigates, and the Venetian arsenal is to name but a few of a long list of achievements that go mostly unrecognised due to the nature of history being full of lies, for example In England we are taught that the royal navy was the first organised state navy since the romans, by that time Venice had been operating theirs for around 800 years. At this point I'd like to hope we see ships make it from the nations who gave so much or just have no recognition despite having large maritime industries or navies, or even something a bit more different and interesting, what ever happened to the xebec? I'd just like to see at least one ship from Denmark-Norway, the Dutch, Venice (or at least Italy), Portugal, Spain and maybe even the Ottomans. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
