What if you lose the unique manowar during quest and recapture it?
They still want it back ?
I'm trying to decide what nation to go.
I would go french but if I could keep the manowar.
WarDog - I'm not realy interested in that since CinqueLiagas it's better overall.
Manowar would be very good for forts, upgraded of course.
I was also thinking to start with french , get the manowar , but change quest line to smth else like pirates.
That way I'll get both - war dog for companion and manowar for me (only agains forts, for the rest frigate is better , I think).

The rest is not worth , in my opinion.

And it's brilliant against the wind, too, point of sail almost 11, <i>and</i> due to the fact that the sails are parallel with the hull they don't get shredded as you're closing in on an enemy. But only 250 crew, 300 with overload. Which is enough to take on single frigates or heavy galleons, but anything bigger and/or more numerous I run away from.
1.5 mil for the Dog, huh? Should be fine, I went to the COAS with over 6 mil. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

@ LittleMorgan: Can't you just keep the ship and not give it back?<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
My bluebird has a max crew of 379, on corsair difficulty I take out battleships and ships of the line with this little baby, its so fast I can get behind them and just spin while shredding the crew with buckshot.
 
I was thinking - dutchman would also work for forts but I'm not satisfied unles its cannons work upgraded to 42lbs.
I could not upgrade bluebirds cannons so it's possible that I won't be allowed to upgrade the dutchman ones.

Sorry for offtopic - is it allowed to upgrade dutchman cannons?

Also - strange enough I got the bluebird with max allowed 32lbs but won't let me upgrade them , so I wonder (given that the frigate 24 lbs work upgraded ) if the frigate could randomly spawn with 32 lbs and be upgraded to 42lbs.

I know I ask a lot of questions but I'm trying to decide what to do, please share your knowledge.

i think the standard maximum caliber for all ships above class 5 is 32 lbs except for the manowar whic is 42 lbs.
* but in my experience in the game the maximum caliber can only be upgraded one (1) level above the starting or spawned caliber of the ship you bought or captured.

Is Soleyru got involved again at end of the french quest? Or at the beginning where he asked u to escort her to Dominique? I havent gone that far yet. Only reach the part where he asked me to escort her and i straightaway stole her and put in port and go back tell him that she had sunk. BTW they didnt thought i gave her back, they thought it sunk.

Great news. Thank you!

And bluebird is by far the fastest escape ship in the game (10.xx point of sail).

A well generated Dog of War is pretty much equal to it. It has a lower point of sail, but the higher speed compensates for it.
 
Just want to update; previously i cheated the governor-general saying that solei royal had sunk when he asked me to escort her. Now i had come to the part end of the french quest where he asked me to defend port from spaniards, and imagine what? He gave me another solei royal! Wow! now i can have 2 soleyru.

I love the bluebird, but I just learned the hard way that it has very low sail HP. A was running from a lineship and it got a critical on my sail. Then I was dead in the water waiting for that slow ship to catch up. So I realize now I wan't to take that sail repair perk early.

only if you can get the coward spanish to board the bloody ship. I've stripped it of powder, weapons, and men, and the cowards still won't board it.
