Clipper

I love naval Action..If I have idle time at home , chances are, NA is running and I  am more than likely  engaged in a trade mission.   with that in mind, I wish the game had the "Yankee Clipper" .. a clipper ship class of fast moving cargo haulers.  giver her the speed of a Lynx  and the cargo capacity of 2600-2700  and she would fit right in. her weaponry would be like that of a LGV..just 20 guns,no bow or stern.... her  main asset would be her speed. food for thought.

Usually a clipper had 3 masts didn't it?

Also it's a little bit after the scope of the game.

no clipper had many masts

 

actual clippers bridged about 20 years worth between traditional sail ships and steam ships. they were mostly used for large scale trading

Clippers like that are after the games timeline, the Prince de Neufchatel is already the best historic Baltimore Clipper warship that fits in the games era.

  Perhaps do a little research  on clippers....they were the size of the LGV..yes my pic is of a modern one used for tourism..but  the picture was selected for 1)being real 2) clarity 3) color.

If we want to have big cargo ship also in shallow water port we could take into consideration the idea to stop them in some areas, outside the shallow waters, and using a count down simulate the movement of the cargo with little boat. Like when we found a sea bottle that we have to wait a little.
