ItsaPiratesLife Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Not sure if it has been suggested yet, however; my all time favorite ship due to it's incredible design, the HMS Prince. I would absolutely LOVE to see this ship in game in the near future if possible. I noticed it was not on the list for voting so consider this my active polling vote. I've attached some photo's to better show the design! Please let me know what you think.

Balck Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I'd prefer her as the Royal William to be honest. Given the game's time line she'd look antiquated in her original form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsaPiratesLife Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Are you referring to the Royal William refit of the HMS Prince later down her service road? And I agree she may seem early for the timeframe however, we do have the HMS Victory which served with the HMS Prince. I simply put it out as a suggestion for a future ship due to her gorgeous design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balck Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 To be frank, I LOVE late 17th century ship designs. They were just stupendously beautiful. Things become more standardized in the 18th century so some of the charm was lost. That said, there are few sights that fill me with wonder than sailing ships. The HMS Prince (1670) would be a sight to behold for sure. It was the main reason I piloted that as my first rate(s) in PotBS. Still, I'd love to see her as Royal William. Mind you, the ship was in commission from 1672 until 1813. Thought you'd love this http://www.milebijelic.com/?page_id=4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DontTreadOnMe Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 She sure is a beauty, sure some will say she's old but the game still relies on the skill of the captain (and the crew ). She has a nice armament and even nicer stern lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surcouf Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) The first picture is not the HMS Prince, this is one French 74-gun typical to 1780's. This model are built by J. Fichant with the monograph by J. Boudriot. http://ancre.fr/en/ouvrages-de-base-en/9-vaisseau-de-74-canons-1780-traite-pratique-d-art-naval-1780-en-quatre-volumes-base-de-la-collection.html http://ancre.fr/en/ouvrages-de-base-en/73-plans-de-la-charpente-du-v74-canons.html Model http://modelshipbuilder.com/page.php?38 http://gerard.delacroix.pagesperso-orange.fr/74/74-1.htm Edited March 28, 2015 by Surcouf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
