will do =)
okies what I did is, just how pirate KK showed me, in ships_init (program>ships>ships_init.txt) where under each ship where it shows the stats ya got something that says refShip.AbordageLocation = "BOARDING_FRIGATE" or something like that.
well i haven't sailed every ship, and I suppose i should create a character, turn off rp sy and turn on cheats and give myself a lot of money and go through every single ship in the game (what a task considering I don't even know how to get some of the ships in the game) and go through each cabin.
howver, this is what i've changed so far in mine.
for the bermuda sloop, I believe default is boarding frigate or something like that, so where it says "BOARDING_CORVETTE" I turned it to "BOARDING_SLOOP" and gave it the sloop cabin
for surprise, I gave it "BOARDING_PINNACE" now that doesn't exactly fit the ship model, however if ya ever watched master and commander you'll see that it is closer to what it was like in the movie, adn it's still closer to what it would be like for the ship model compared to it's current one.
for the pirate corvette, and really you could do this for all the ships in teh game who use the original corvette from the escape from oxbay as the base for their model. I initially had boarding pinnace but while that cabin is very sexy it's not accurate. so I changed it to BOARDING_SCHOONER wich is almost completely spot on. it isn't all that bad either, it's not all that luxurious in the painting of the walls and carpeting, but it's still nice, ya even got yer own house of relief "toilet room" on the larboard side. let me take some screenies so you can see how accurate that is comparted to what it was.
okies here's default corvette cabin

and here's the stern of a corvette

you can see that the cabin doesn't fit with the model of a corvette even remotely.
and here's schooner default

you will see that it's almost exact. it's like this cabin was originally designed for the corvette. there is only a single significant flaw in the cabin's design and that is the two windows on the broadside are farther apart than they are on the model, but who gives a crap they're still there <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
