Compiling these new skins into new models, I noticed that with a few tweaks to numbers of cannons and crew etc, there are nearly enough skins to make all ratings from 1 - 6.
They could then be made available only through British ship yards in the game?
We could leave the Manowar as is 100guns maxcrew 900-950 (1st Rate), needs a Blk and yellow skin though, I think???
Drop say four guns on the Ship of the Line model and reduce crew to 750 (2nd Rate)
Have two third rates, the 74 and the 68
Add six guns to the battleship giving it 50 and making it 4th Rate
2 more guns to the frigates giving them 44 and making them 5th Rate
And the Surprise model would count as a 6th.

What does everybody and especially the modellers and skinners that made the ships think of this idea?

Sorry everyone I just realised my mistake the Battleship carries 70 guns - Doh, it's another 3rd Rate. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/oops3.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:ops2" border="0" alt="oops3.gif" />
 
you ment the warship.
and captain spectre is working on a victory skin.
i have an idea involving MOWs; why not someone make a black and yellow MOW skin, and have Captain Spectre's Victory skin as a special ship to replace Silehards MOW at Khael Roa, then it could be a very special ship, being one of a kind, and maybe upping the manouverability since the victory was known as a good sailor, despite her size, and was better at manouvering in comparison to other ships of her size.
 
Think that I will try and turn the Black and Yellow Fearless into the 4th Rate if that's ok with Seb?

Captain Spectre, how far along are you with your Victory skin?

Captain Hawk, is your 64 gunner hull texture based on the Fearless?
If so, Seb and Cap.Hawk can I 'merge' your work together in some way to create a black and yellow 64 gun third rate?

Has anyone out there got a black and yellow SOL / Manowar skin ready yet?

Inzane would it be ok to use ur Surprise model with slightly lowered stats as a 6th Rate light frigate only available throught English shipyards as well as having it as a standalone ship in the game?
 
the 64 gunner is a modded version of the fearless, it just has more gun ports, though there arent any cannons sticking out of them.
and Captain Spectre said he's been a bit busy lately and would update the "Revolutions ?" topic when he starts working on it again.
 
Hawk's 64 isn't coloured black and yellow though as far as I know, but it has got updated rigging etc, which is why I was wondering if I could use Seb's hull?
That is unless someone has time to re-colour Hawk's skin. I haven't got the knowledge or the software I'm afraid.
