Only the newest ships like Wasa have braces modeled, so Surprise isn't alone there. Some ships newer than Surprise have squaresail sheets and cargo rigging(?), but these details are implemented in inaccurate ways. Hopefully Surprise and everyone else will get retrofitted. In general I would recommend that the artists prioritize rigging like this: shrouds>back/fore stays>braces>gaff sheets If there's anything left in the detail budget, then do sheets for jibs and square sails. But the fact that these lines need to be rendered as huge eight-inch hawsers can seriously detract from the aesthetics of the model. Rather than overemphasize certain lines, it is better to omit them and let our brains fill in the blanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty Dog. Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I think all the early ship models don't compare to well to the newer ships coming in the game. I hope they all the older ships will get a update before the game is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehutchin78 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Completely agree guys. The devs have out done themselves which creates this problem. The newer Rigging looks really good and is fun to sail. Ships needing love I see? belle poule (just look at Le gros ventre) surprise The le hermione looks great. As do the Endymion and indefatigable Hope they are able to update them soon! HUTCH78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some rigging still missing. cost of making a ship can reach 30-40k in art costs, programming costs, animation work, set up and testing. 3-4 people work on a ship When you make a lot of something over time your experience grows as a result, that is why new ships look better. We do not plan to come back to ships we made 2 years ago as even remaking 10 ships will cost 300k. Even if we had these 300k we would prefer to add new ships. ps resolution for the issue could be a ship drive (where customers can support remake by donating money) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of games have done that, including Ancient Cities etc. I am confident that people are willing to pay to see their favourite ships into the game. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ancient-cities-extended-pc#/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather buy ship-class packs (Corvettes, Light Frigates, Heavy Frigates, 1st-Rates...) but, given the winds of nationalism we've lately witnessed during 2017 poll, I guess that national packs might sell better... Moreover, some classes might be preferred by the majority. Edited October 4, 2017 by LeBoiteux 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
