StaleMemes Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Hopefully I will have been able to buy the game by then. I have got to find 40 bucks somewhere. Merry Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maturin Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Hooray! I was worried that we wouldn't get any small craft at all! Any chance of loading a 24-pounder on there? (Also, that brass post in the stern is for holding up a gaff boom that the vessel doesn't actually have) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destraex Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Question: These little gunboats as they were called. Were used in calm seas for harbour defence in the west. Fleets of them would swarm out and hit frigates at all sorts of odd angles confounding the larger ships broadside. By the time you got back you would have missed out. I need to ask if heavy seas will swamp this one and how far they can get from harbour? These little gunboats as they were called. Were used in calm seas for harbour defence in the west. Fleets of them would swarm out and hit frigates at all sorts of odd angles confounding the larger ships broadside. By the time you got back you would have missed out. I need to go and ask on the forums if heavy seas will swamp this one. Captain Jack was in a frigate just outside an enemy harbour. His ships boats were rowing back with a friend or spy. The enemy harbour defences were somehow alerted and a swarm of these gunboats came out even though the seas were a bit rough for them. You see each gunboat carries the same armament per tonne as a large ship. Get 32 of these gunboats and you essentially have a 32 gun broadside of a larger ship with the advantage of being able to attack from all angles and have a small profile that is harder to aim at.Captain Jack was forced to clear the area as fast as possible.A real life example of a frigate getting captured like this is the USS Philadelphia which got stranded in a Tunisian Harbour trying to raid it and forced to surrender by gunboats firing from its blind angles while not being able to turn effectively. Decatur iirc then raided into the harbour many months later to destroy this state of the art super frigate. U.S. Navy gunboats battled scores of oar-powered Royal Navy barges on Lake Borgne iirc P.S. This is really the sort of thing that makes this game different and fresh. Things like this properly implemented will make a frigates blockade of a harbour very interesting indeed. Should stop harbour camping along with fortifications. http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/images/h01000/h01071.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Kangaroo Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Did this boat ever get given out? As of this date I did not get one and I have not seen one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anvilfolk Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 You are a terrible person, Captain Kangaroo!I saw a new post in a thread called Happy Holidays from admin, and I thought the preorders were open again. You can't plug these emotional holes beneath the waterline. My spirits, they are sinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirones Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Did this boat ever get given out? As of this date I did not get one and I have not seen one. most likely send out after being 90%polished and bug free you sometimes cant call their patches bug testing since they wont let us, specially back then durring focus testing where most of us focus testers where only giving the thumb-up of aproval and then wait a couple weeks for the next patch.
