Pablo Frias Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Doesn´t matter if devs call her Hermione, Santa Cecilia... I think these types of arguments go to nowhere. It´s a ship to enjoy, no to argue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesters-Ink Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Theyre doing it because there are already a million english ships in the game...giving it the spanish name is a way to throw spanish players a bone while still giving english fans their ship As a UK resident and nation player, I don't think this is the case. I'd love to see more of the other nations ships. So looking forward to sailing the Bucentaure. I own two Vics but I prefer to sail the Pavel. Bring on more of the other nations ships. And to Ragnar, what a lovely job you've done, another one I'm so looking forward to sailing. Thanks for taking the time to create her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikard Frederiksen Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Personally I'm a little disappointed it is in the Spanish livery, even if it does carry more guns/crew (not fussed about that though). I'd much rather that the captured versions of ships were held as 'premiums' (if they're still looking to have premium ships to sell), especially as the Hermione served for 14 years in her British livery, and then for another 5 years in the Royal Navy after being recaptured, compared to just 2 years in Spanish service. I also have a personal preference for the ochre and black banding many nations used. However the model itself is beautiful and I can't fault the beauty and detail of the paintjob, even despite my above reservations, and I would not be surprised to find myself favouring it as my frigate of choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the answer is to have paint/skin options so players can pick which colours she sails as? I think this could work for many of the ships, lets face it, most had sister ships, so maybe a skin for each name/nation? The name on the back of the ship would be part of the skin too, so quick swap job. I hate to say it, but I have paid for such add ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on her speed and agility, she might replace my beloved Cherubin. Edited July 11, 2016 by Kair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VonVolks Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Great job. I love sailing the frigates and my Bel Poule is my favourite ship in game so far, so I'm looking for something different to sail with a similar flavour. What would you say would be the differences between the Bel and Cecilia in game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kair Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Great job. I love sailing the frigates and my Bel Poule is my favourite ship in game so far, so I'm looking for something different to sail with a similar flavour. What would you say would be the differences between the Bel and Cecilia in game? Keep in mind that all I am saying is mostly hypothetical, but you could expect it to be around a Belle Poule and a Cherubin yes. The Santa should have 26x12 pounders on lower deck and 16x9 pounders on the poopdeck, so she should have more canon fire power then the Belle Poule, but a tiny bit less then the Cherubin. I'm not sure about caro, but I've heard she has 24 pdrs and not 32, in wish case she would be behind the BP and Cherubin. Also, it should have lower HP (armor) then then the Belle Poule and thr Frigate but around the same Thickness. Regarding speed and turn rate, she should also be verry close to the Cherubin, meaning a bit less then the Belle for the speed, but a bit more for the turn rate. Finally, she has bow AND sturn chassers. She really is "in between" the Cherubin and the Belle Poule if you ask me, a great addition to our mid class frigates ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prater Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Theyre doing it because there are already a million english ships in the game...giving it the spanish name is a way to throw spanish players a bone while still giving english fans their ship First, I know I'm rather late to comment, but. Ummm. You don't know what you are talking about. When the ship was being discussed in the Testers forum, the admin listed it as the Bloody Hermione, and Maturin suggested it be called a different name so as not to be confused with L'Hermione which is also in the works. Admin and others liked the Spanish name, so that is what was chosen. There was no discussion of "throwing spanish players a bone." It is a Spanish ship anyway. And Ragnar gave his reasons for making it. It is an extremely beautiful ship. None of the pictures do it justice. The weathering quality is unreal. You can see the weathering between the boards it is so high quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sire Trinkof Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 From stats I saw on a oak build strength exceptional : resistance of a surprise, turn rate (3.7?) and speed (12.15 base speed) of a frigate, 12pd (24 caro) - 9pd upper deck (Caro?) 2 chaser - 2 retreat.

VonVolks Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Thanks Kair, she sounds perfect for me! Any ideas when we will see her on the waves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirones Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 since she is basicly bugfree i asume next content patch. all trough it might happen in original British Paint colour and the Cecillia might end upa s a gift or special ship but nothing is set in stone yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonVolks Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Thanks Mirones! Looking forward to her. The devs have said there is a July patch slated. Is that still the case? If so, that means I have only a week-ish to wait! 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Fishy Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Can anyone explain why the Santa Cecilia has 42 not 32 guns in the game please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlavDeng2 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Can anyone explain why the Santa Cecilia has 42 not 32 guns in the game please? Because IIRC the spanish over gunned her, and that is the version we have in game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Yes, I am hoping a British version will have smaller guns on weather decks (6pdr / 24pdr carronade), less crew, but somewhat better performance / handling. edit: note, however, that Hermione and her sister ships always carried more than 32 pieces, but some were carronades and not counted in her rating. Ships in the class had 38 guns / carronades, which may actually accord with what is in the game already, not counting chasers (which were seldom / never carried as permanent guns). But none carried 9pdrs on the weatherdecks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kair Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Yes, I am hoping a British version will have less guns, smaller guns on weather decks (6pdr / 18pdr carronade), less crew, but better performance. Well, you can at least down grade the the guns on the ship if you want. You'll gain a bit a speed and reload speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a bug where everyone above 28 got the blue print, however it has since been fixed so you cant get the santa any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built one yesterday and got to test drive her. So far, I'm liking her. The extra 24pd carronades on the top give her quite a bite up close.
