A small problem

Is there any easy way to make your starting ship the black pearl, I have wondered what it would be like to sail her, probably very fun. When I change the starting ship parameter from lugger1 to black pearl and try to start a new game it doesnt work

Use "Lineship" as starting ship parameter. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
ok dunno if that was sarcasm or not, the brutal russian nature of me taking over, us russians dont use sarcasm much. Bleurgh where are the russians in POTC surely they sailed the carribean ah whatever, will Lineship work? I have all the builds installed

Strange, I just read your post, and decided to test by assigning BlackPearl in the BuildSetting as so:

#define START_SHIP "BlackPearl"

I just started a new game and have just that, the black pearl with torn sails, extra HP and all.

Wow thanks a bunch it works now, I never knew the black pearl was just a lineship. And have you removed the sail feature allowing you to customise sails in the newest build?

Well as to ship model, yes, but the stats are very different.

Lineship has 6700 HP and Lineship 2&3 have 7600HP
The BlackPearl has 100,000 HP

I'm not sure what you mean.
The build allows for the sails to be changed in game.
 
The change sails button was moved. You must got to the F2>Ship screen, then press the sails button at the top and a button will appear at the bottom to allow you to change your sails.
 
Thanks Pieter,

Petros, it seems to be just a line ship with torn sails, I was nearly taken down by a volley from a fort and an attack from the battleship and barques from the french attack on oxbay
 
Black Pearl alone has smaller HP and this parameter is "artificially" increased in quests_reaction.c for Barbossa ship. If you want large HP, you need write a code in console.c which will increase the ship's HP for you, i.e.:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->characters[GetMainCharacterindex()].ship.hp = 100000;<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
save changes, go to the game and press F12.

Is Black Pearl really needed at the start of the game, when Nathaniel has little experience and abilitys, so he can't really use all advantages which this ship can give him? It all looks like some kind of cheating. I think going through scenario and capturing her from Barbossa is better.

If you use the Post Build 12 mods, you can board the Black Pearl at the end of the main quest. You will be fighting a skeleton crew then. I still want to make it so that you'll be fighting on a black deck as well. We already had a black boarding deck accidentally some time ago, so I'll just need to do that on purpose this time. But only for the Black Pearl, of course. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

I never get it till the end so I thought it always had those stats.
Funny thing is that it is listed in ships_init.c with 100,000HP

I agree, after all, I helped popularize that practice way back when! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
 
once you get the pearl put your crew to skeletons then put god mode on if ye want to impersionate Barbossa and his crew
