Class 1: Battleships and Manowars [really big navy ships]
Class 2: Warships and Lineships [pretty big navy ships]
---------
Class 3: Galeons, Pinnace, Frigates and Corvettes [big merchant ships and average-size navy ships]
Class 4: Fleut (Holland) and Caravel (Portugal) [relatively big merchant ships]
Class 5: Xebec (pirate), Schooner, Brig [relatively small fast and agile navy and pirate ships]
---------
Class 6: Barque, Yacht, Lugger, Sloop, Galeoth [small boats]
Class 7: Tartane [eeny weeny tiny little things]
The British Warship has got a yellow-and-black colour scheme, therefore I thought she should be Napoleonic. The CorvFrig1 has the same model as the CorvFrig2_50, so if one should be Napoleonic, so should the other. They both use the Corvette hull though, so that suggests to me that then all Corvettes should be Napoleonic. Not sure if we should do that, really. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I like your list.
You know I have already eliminated the class 1 and 2 ships (your list) form my 1500 -1600 version.
Now you see why I mentioned eliminating the Frigates and Corvettes as well. They are a much more modern design.
Now I'm thinking ... the "Schooner and Brig will have to go as well". (Why am I working on a Schooner <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> )
I'll just bump up the Barque and Galeoth to class 5.
