Some notes:
- The GeraldSails changes for the Yachts are intentional, right?
- Since I replaced the rigging on the US_Brig47 as per your request, I am also applying the RN_Brig stats to her
- Why could we no longer repaint between the HMS_Indefatigable and FR_Boussole?
1) Yes, the sail changes are intentional. Quite a few ships had both rey_a# and rey_b# assigned to use emblemed sails for reeflines, but it's not strictly accurate for every ship, so many should actually only have rey_b# on the GeraldSails lines. I actually meant to fix this for more ships, but forgot.
2) Thanks, I forgot about the stats needing to be changed.
3) I made the Indy show up in periods 4 and 5, and the Boussole in 3 and 4, based on their respective paint schemes.
Allowing repaints means that in periods 3 and 5, you could potentially bring in a ship which doesn't belong in the period.
A better solution would be to give the Boussole a Napoleonic repaint (probably the red/black stripes), but I didn't want to go through all that hassle.
One more thing: I noticed some ships seem to be given larger boarding location models than necessary, so I might go through and make a few changes to have boarding locations match the size of the actual ships where possible.
Would this mess up any quest events for particular ships?
Here is a british frigate with white lower masts, though she is still the standard black/yellow scheme.

The vessel it is supposed to depict was a captured Hebe-derived french frigate, and in the painting it is a typical wall-sided British Frigate, but it is accurate enough overall to suggest that the artist simply hadn't seen the ship in question, and had to make do with another to represent her. So it shouldn't be too big of a deal to have British vessels with white lower masts.
Thanks for showing that!
This reminds me: could you do me a favour and check that all of your ships in the game (2.5 WIP 3) have the desired mast colours?
I just want to be sure, as I remember seeing screenshots of some of your ships with different coloured masts to those used in the latest game version.
However, the Brits didn't have all the same types of vessels as the Americans. Baltimore clippers and the PDN and such should still be strictly American.
The PDN is still exclusive to the US, I made sure of that. Do you have any other comments on the changes listed in the Excel file?
