Thonys Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 No secret there. She wouldn't be able to participate in port battles in shallow waters meant for nothing larger than corvettes and sloops o' war. well perhaps not in pb but what if there is land... in a pvp battle i would rather sail on my own nations shallow water ship then instead of a big Spanish galleon who will hit rock bottom if he underestimate the capability of the vessel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arvenski Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Wow, look at the number of votes that have come in since Admin's announcement. That must've really gotten people's attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conquerorist Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Hi, Where is the famous Ottoman Ship? (Mahmudiye, bkz.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_ship_Mahmudiye) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haratik Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Hi, Where is the famous Ottoman Ship? (Mahmudiye, bkz.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_ship_Mahmudiye) Not part of the current poll. She's also at the extreme end of the timeline and possibly out of it entirely. If she were to be considered, her plans would be needed, and so far we've seen little to no evidence of Ottoman ship plans other than those which came from nations at war with the Empire at the time.

James Cornelius Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 It'd be nice to see some 2nd rates. The HMS Prince of Wales comes to mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haratik Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 It'd be nice to see some 2nd rates. The HMS Prince of Wales comes to mind. Prince of Wales is not on the poll, only the ships on the poll are being considered. Try to remember that. That being said, the Christian VII is a second rate and is supposedly being worked on already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwmillerusmc Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Game needs another 4th rate so there is more of a choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barberouge Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 I vote for the de Ruyter, 80 gun, dutch built ,shallow water. We need a bigger shallow water ship. Mentioned "Dutch shallow waters" and "coastal operations in the Baltic Sea" - those ships of the line had less draft than their European counterparts, but they wouldn't sail in NA shallow waters. It's "portuguese" not "portugese". Corrected, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Smith Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 A really difficult choice BUT, if there can be only one I would chose the Wasa. The lines look slim and the guns formidable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBoiteux Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I vote for the de Ruyter, 80 gun, dutch built ,shallow water. We need a bigger shallow water ship. I guess shallow draught ships won't have more than about 24 guns in NA. That's the max armament of the most common Corvettes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crippen Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 we got 1 forth rate ship....I would like to see another one before seeing any more 2nd or 1st rates...but of course the 90 gun ship is winning, that's all we need more ships most ppl in the game cant get into yet.

Yes indeed. From Wikipedia / Threedecks : - USS Niagara : draft = 9 ft. - De Ruyter : draft = 19 ft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Niagara_(1813) http://threedecks.org/index.php?display_type=show_ship&id=796 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More lower level ships are coming. As previously stated (if people would bother to read), the 2nd rate is already in the game files. For all we know one of the fourth rates will be chosen.

richardphat Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Voted for Christian, it needs more ship nation diversity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusterGut Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Well I voted for the Wasa as imo its big enough to take on a 2 decker and its maneuverable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlavDeng2 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Well I voted for the Wasa as imo its big enough to take on a 2 decker and its maneuverable. Considering she is a 2 decker, i would be surprised if she couldnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehuty Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) Voted for Christian, it needs more ship nation diversity. True. That's why I think we need Dutch ships, we still have ZERO dutch ships in a AGE OF SAIL game.... that's just sad. I hope the devs will put some Dutch ships in the game on their own , because we won't see any Dutch ships winning polls like this sadly enough.

Don't be so sure, i would have said the same thing about danish ships if i hadn't seen the poll. Personally i'll be voting for either Dutch or Swedish ships in the next ship selection, since i believe all nations need to have ships from their own nation available.
