Ship Rates 6th + 5th & Unrated on shopping list needs tweaking

[Crankey]

Just spotted an error in the classification of ships in game and wondered if there might be a few more. (Navy Brig should be un-rated not a 6th rate)

 

See wiki for specific confirmation  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rating_system_of_the_Royal_Navy

 

Basically a ship carrying 20 to 28 guns was a 6th rate. (Navy Brig 18 guns should be un-rated not a 6th rate)

 

A ship of 30 to 44 guns sometimes 2 decker was considered a 5th rate.

 

A ship carrying less than 20 guns was un-rated

 

I saw Navy Brig in the 6th rate shopping list.

 

A Captain (Not Master 8 Commander) would never ordinarily be given command of an un-rated.

Yeah, and I've had it explained to me that the Surprise is a 6th rate considering it was a 28 gun ship that in reality carried 9 lb'ers.

Nice that you see the problem.

But could you check the forum search?

 

I opened a thread about this exact issue here:

6th and 5th rates are not properly distinuished ingame. yes
