Unable to give ships outrageous stats anymore.

Yup, red and yellow, though I've also seen red and black and a little gold, which is the kind of scheme I'm generally inclined to be attracted to. Would be nice though if we could have famous ships appear in the build or an add-on.

The great thing I saw you mention was the bit about the Sails be up higher to give you an unobstructed view from the deck out over the Bow......this is really annoying in game, when you try and see what is in front of you with spyglass, and cant....

Wish we could go to the crows nest.....?? Why cant we make a locator at the top of a ship? so as to go there and view......that would be neat !...it should be doable.....would not need anything fancy like climbing or nothing, wonder why I am the one to think of this first...........nah!!!!....must not be doable if I thought of it.....shame, like the parrot skin, and the Long John Silver skin....and the list grows

Could you post the actual green you would like?

Have a look at the following two pictures. They are of two different VOC ship replica's:

The others which might need some minor tweaks are the "Merchantman" and the "Light Galleon" which I haven't uploaded yet.
The MOW 50 Gub, the "Light Frigate2", the "Pirate Corvette", and the "Privateer" might not need any work but I plan to look them over again anyway, hopefully before any major Build 13 release.

Sounds GREAT! If you get any skins done, I'll add them into Build 13. And if you don't get them all done before Build 13 is done, I will add them to Build 13.1. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />

I'm not sure if that helps much.

Is this what you're looking for?

That looks pretty nice. But the Dutch ships usually have the green on some other parts. The actual stern was usually highly decorated with gold and yellow paint and beautiful pictures, carvings, etc. This was called the "Spiegel" of the ship. These type of trading vessels were called "Spiegelretourschip". The green was usually at sides of the ship: See attached picture. Sorry for messing up a screenshot of one of your great reskins with one of my crappy edits in Paint. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

And thanks a lot for trying your highly skilled hand at a Dutch fleut! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
