Balck Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Some may frown on the high poop decks but I find the late 17th century ships to be the most elegant of them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Masterviolin Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I like the lateen spanker; I think it's probably the first ship w. It in naval action. I also look at the stern w. A bit of dislike, but it's a great ship nevertheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddykrueger66 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 wow, what a beauty and those plans are just amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niagara_1812 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 She's definitely the most beautiful ship I've seen on the forum so far in my opinion! I love 5th rates dated from 1680-1730... I'm totally voting for this ship in a poll, and hope She eventually makes it into the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malachi Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 While the quality of the plans is indeed amazing (got the monograph relatively cheap a couple of years ago), this ship would be outclassed by pretty much anything with 3 masts ingame. Slow as fuck and 22 8-pounders + 16 4-pounders. And the ship is fictional (at least as far as I know), the plans are based on the Album de Colbert.

Its not always about having the best ship sometimes eyecandy is enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
