MM, BR, CT.

[Captain Yellowbeard]

This is embarising, but I still have no idea what mm, br, and ct mean on a ship. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":c" border="0" alt="mad.gif" /> . So um... what do they mean?

Ships that have the MM designation were skinned (or painted) by Rafe Bligh - his "weathered ships" mod - and put into the game as individual ships by MuddyMonkey, hence the "MM". There are quite a few of Rafe's ship skins, and they are really nice!

"BR" means Barbarossa, the name of the famous Arabian pirate who sailed in Xebecs in the Mediterranean. The Xebec BR I believe was painted by Suraknar. There's only one "BR", nicely and appropriately historic with its Arabian paint scheme.

"CT" means ships painted by ME, CatalinaThePirate. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> There are only two, the Lugger CT and the Xebec CT (which is the `Irish-themed` Xebec). I know, why paint up the lowly lugger? Well, I grew immensely fond of that little ship when I first started playing the game, and so that was the first one I decided to try to paint when I first started playing around with modding PotC back in February of this year.

I've done a couple of MOW skins, but have yet to put them into the game... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> BUSY! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

AFAIK, there are no differences in ship stats (except the typical), except I think the XBR and the XCT have pretty good capacity and speed. Otherwise, the designations are just for different ship skins.

Thanks for the answer, I never would have made those connections. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

I think the Rafe Bligh (MM) ships are probably listed in the ReadMe, but the CT and BR are older - BR oldest, the CT added in B11.
