dino1984 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Sorry, but I couldn't find this information anwhere on forum - are there gona be small ships like sloops, ketches, brigs, schooners, pinaces, etc. or just huge galleons, frigates and ships-of-the-line? Could you show us some list of the ships that you plan to include? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killick Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Well, there are certainly going to be smaller ships too, look for example at the picture right on top of this forum page and also in the 'all pics in one album' thread. But I agree with you that in all the testing screens and vids so far, they seem to be focussing on the large ships and fleet actions. It's a shame: I'll probably never sail a SoL. Way too sluggish IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunx Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Well, there are certainly going to be smaller ships too, look for example at the picture right on top of this forum page and also in the 'all pics in one album' thread. But I agree with you that in all the testing screens and vids so far, they seem to be focussing on the large ships and fleet actions. I can only imagine that is because they look the most impressive to most viewers. Other than that, stress testing I guess. The fleet action, rendering so many particles and such would put a big strain on what they have completed so far. Oh also Dino, nothing is a stupid question if you don't know the answer mate Edited May 6, 2014 by Chunx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 3 smaller ships for testing purposes Navy cutter Schooner Brig These ships were the first we made and are currently considered low quality according to our standards - they need to be remade or improved another reason for testing only big ships is performance optimization - they use more polygons and thus are better for stress testing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dino1984 Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 Thats great. But please think about including Corvettes and different types of brigs, shooners and cutters. Ofcourse don't forget about snows, sloops and other small size vessels. It makes game real awesome just to be able to sail diferent ships even if they are similar in stats. Variety of ships in POtBS is really awesome even if most of them is quite comparable. It makes world looks more... living. I personally hate when there is a "straight line" of ships/equipment, that is making another ship/item just bigger and better. In POtBS you can see lvl50 players sailing cutters, corvettes and other small things. Taking other example - EVE Online - mass of old, experienced players is flying low lvl ships (T1 frigs and cruisers). It works, creating diversity and fun:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunx Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 They are definitely looking to have those ships in. They actually have a thread around here asking for help with some specific 3D modelling. Those ships are part of the list they would like people to help with Fear not. We will see a wide variety of ships in Naval Action. I'm with you though, anything Frigate or smaller is wonderfully awesome to watch and use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Blackwell Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 There is already a Snow being modeled for the game. HMS Ontario. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qsepq-cf4kI/Up-nmqveX3I/AAAAAAAAAnM/f6yU_NIDiyk/s1600/Ontario-293.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Loe Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I am sure developers will add any ship you like. New ship models will sell like crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
