ami the only one here who doesn't find it as insanely funny as everyone else? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

i'm open for the next few ships. someone better save the discriptions i already did.
 
I'm waiting all class 6 ships description, morgan terror!

Maybe the shipyard interface should be reworken one day. In the Seadogs one, there were indeed a place with full description of the different ships...
For example :
<i>A close competitor to the Pink, the Bilander is a relatively small ship designed for light goods transport and escort. Its has weak guns and small crew complement, and is best suited for short trade routes, and protective escort with mixed classes of vessels. Its maneuverability and sailing characteristics are admirable, but its small size and light armaments are a liability for extended journeys.</i>
 
help me a little here, what would those be? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Pirate_KK is considering to update the shipyard interface with actual screenshots of all ships.
Tha'd be nice. Now if there'd be a description to go with them, that'd be even nicer.
Would apply especially well to historical ships, because some additional info can be provided.
 
Aha! In Seadogs there were screenshots of all ships in the shipyard interface as well... This is getting good.

Yacht: The word yacht generally means 'fast vessel', but the meaning changed over time into a ship meant for pleasure sailing. This particular yacht is a fairly fast trading vessel, sufficiently armed to deter most of the poorer pirates. It is, however, not recommended to deliberately use it in battle.

Barque: The barque is normally a three- or four-masted vessel meant for trade, and they can range from fairly small, like this one, to many metres in length. The barque is more suitable for combat than the yacht, and is of a slightly heavier build, meaning that it can sustain more damage at a slight loss of speed.

Lugger: The lugger is a fast ship for it's size, and is therefore commonly used by the coast guard and smugglers alike. Originally of French design, it is completely fore-to-aft rigged, allowing it to sail very close to the wind. However, it is of light build and armament, so it takes some skill to effectively use in battle.

Cutter: Basically a small sloop, cutters come with various rigging types, and are a fairly diverse craft. They are popular with pirates who can't afford the bigger sloops, and inexperienced traders should be wary of these extremely agile ships. They are, however, single-masted, which means they are vulnerable to chainshot.

Bermuda lugger: This ship is of a very similar design to the common lugger. However, it has been slightly improved in all areas, and is above all a very beautiful ship to see. It's a good choice for a young captain who wants to start with a small ship, yet wants to avoid the risk of being caught by lugger-using pirates.
 
Why does the LuggerVML need a new name? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
Who said any of this was real? For all we know, this is just a giant computer sim. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
 
Good point. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

Well isn't she just a a Bermuda rigged Lugger? And if so, why not call her a 'Bermuda Lugger'? For some reason I was thinking she was changed because of the rigging changes someone made. But then I could be wrong.
