Player-selected ships 2015 - Final poll

[StaleMemes]

Amsterdam guys! c'mon we can do this!

[nebsif]

desperate times require desperate measures, support the Amsterdam against the indi zerg!

[marecek05]

So, I have to chose between merchant and a ship that was so badly designed that it had to be half-destroyed to make it useful made famous by a TV (and book) series, where it was represented by a 20 gun thing built in 1996 in Turkey.

 

And then there is a ship that was actually good and interesting.

 

Rattlesnake all the way (since Tem is out of the fight)...

[Mirones]

dont under estimate the power of an indianman

yes sir, I initially voted snake as well, but seeing as it was 3rd place already, I recast it in favor of Amsterdam. The enemy of your enemy...

3 ships will be chosen + 1 wild card.

[Lord Hood]

Please let the wild card be HMS Barfleur!! (As wind and others have called for in other threads )

[BungeeLemming]

I have a funny feeling that the wild card is going to be a 2nd rate. Wich we actually need ingame

[OTMatt]

fingers crossed its chosen in the 2nd rate thread over the russian one.

[Lord Hood]

Let the bribes begin!

[AmericanSailor98]

Now if just the wildcard would be the Bonhome Richard  

[OTMatt]

Thats gonna be a huge bribe according to the poll

Agamemnon for me was Nelson's favourite and it'd make a very good commerce raider as it was almost as fast as a frigate, but with about twice the gun power.

[Ishigami]

I am asking the good lords and captains who have voted for The Agemennon,why do you toture me.2 votes is whats separating us.The Wasa was a far more beautiful ship and more elegant in every way possible and its not British.It was shallower on the draft so you could do coastal operations with her and she holds her own in a line battle.So what you have here is a fourth rate that COULD be a smuggler and line ship and have the ability to go to places where other line ships(*erhem*like the quite fat:Agemennon *erhem*) cannot go.Whats not to love about it?

I voted for the Wasa from Temeraire.

 

Maybe because the Ardent class was a very stable gun platform and out of the 7 ships build three had an actually distinguished career. I mean there seems to be nothing about the Wasa. It was used in a war against Russia but I can’t find details and then it was sold and bought back… that’s rather unspectacular to be honest.

And I disagree about the looks…

 

Anyway the advantage of the top three voted ships seems to be solid. Since Indefatigable is a razzed Ardent class ship I hope the wild card goes to either the Ocean-class or Téméraire-class.

The Ocean-class would be a nice gab filler between Santisima and Victory while the Téméraire is just simple the most build SoL ever. Not having that would be like having a WW2 flight simulator without a BF109: Unthinkable.

[SerrialKiller]

Interesting suggestion, Amsterdamn is basically a slow lumbering frigate so it might be at home in pvp light.

Amsterdam 48 guns aint a light pvp ship it is a indiaman trade ship whit guns.

[A Mari Usque Ad Mare]

You can hate Indefatigable, you can love Indefatigable, but you should not just make stuff up about her!  There was NOTHING wrong with her design, the ONLY reason she was razeed was because the British Admiralty feared a 64 would make no match for the newly designed French 74's.  She then went on as a frigate with an absolutely illustrious career!

[maturin]

As a class, though, razee's suffered from excessive stiffness, which made them damned uncomfortable ships to live on. In a seaway they would often spring their masts from the jerky motion of the ship.

[A Mari Usque Ad Mare]

There's advantages and dis-advantages to being a razee. Unfortunately there's always two sides to a coin, just wanted to counter the notion that she was cut down because of a "bad" design!

[Joegrag]

Sadly we won t see amazon in game :'(

[Mitchverr]

Sadly we won t see amazon in game :'(

 

Unless it gets the wild card draw.

 

Shame really, is a bonni ship.

[Tom Pullings]

Well, it'll stay in third place if people keep switching votes from it!  Repair your conscience and vote again for the right ship, my good sir, and for the right reasons!!

Actually there were quite a few things wrong with her, most of which Pellew was able to fix with a little re-rigging and ingenuity, but the biggest problem it had was mast placement, and that never got fixed.

[Wicked Mouse]

3 ships will be chosen + 1 wild card.

 

Splendid! Looking forward to your verdict!

My Post was in regards to #328, read the post and my response carefully! (or read #343)

[Don Alvarez]

Since they started in the same class, I say take the Agamemnon and the Indy, they can save that much time drafting the model and we have our four ships. Poll closes Friday, sooooooo I expect to see all four in game by Monday.

 

Start brewing the coffee...
