DeRuyter Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 In my opinion larger merchant ships should be brought in the game sooner rather than later, ie; within the next several patches. I think it is more important to have more merchant ships than adding another SOL (sorry Bucentaure fans!)at the moment. I am thinking a ship like an East Indiaman with significant armament so it can carry a lot of cargo but is a challenge to capture in a smaller ship. In the player choice poll such a ship was voted in (VOC schip Amsterdam) see this thread: http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/3922-voc-ship-amsterdam-a-call-for-help/?hl=amsterdam I think variety in the merchant fleet is important as we begin testing crafting and trading increases. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Loe Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I can confirm this one might be in development and could hit the oceans when Econ is added. Stay tuned. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo Balboa aka Ronda Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I can confirm this one might be in development and could hit the oceans when Econ is added. Stay tuned. Nice one! Probably Bonhomme Richard (Duc de Duras, 1765) would fit in well, as it's originally a french merchant ship built for French East-India company. It lost the latest voting but many people were posting plans and pictures for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llewellyn Jones RN Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I believe Ragnar might have a Indiaman in the works not sure will check with him later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flavalicious Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I could go for something like that. Id even say give it a boarding buff so that even a ship of its class has a challenge. Make it the prize to be had. Throw in a chance at crafting note drops on capture. SOLD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
