Implemented another change to existing ships (Pending Upload):
Currently, the ships in the supermod for the Light Frigate, Royal Frigate and Royal Lineship were not from the 17th century. The Stock AOP Frigate, while beautiful to look at, was not period accurate. The Trinity, being a 17th century style fictional ship counts as accurate to period; however it would have been nice to have an actual 17th century second rate modeled with 90-98 guns.
I have been fiddling around with the new ship collection courtesy of de Zeerovers Group and have found the ships that would fill the gap in the ships above that are deemed unhistorical. The original 4 ships that they have released (HMS Mordaunt, HMS Oxford, HMS Resolution and HMS Royal Prince), two of which are missing a sailorspoints file make the perfect addition to the game. I have fixed some of the ships init bugs since the data was partially transferred over from POTC's ships init. I also plan to do up the other two sailorspoints files before iteration 2. Speed and maneuverability are transferred over from their POTC init file which concerns me because some of them are quite fast and maneuverable (in my initial test of all of them) for their size which might make them overpowered. Once the upload commences for this update (except for the sailorspoints which will be done later) you can test the balance of these ships in game.
Originally:
...
Light Frigate/Frigate_L (HMS Surprise - Unhistorical 18th Century) - 38 guns
Frigate (Stock AOP - OK) - 46 guns
...
Royal Frigate/Battleship (HMS Bellona - Unhistorical 18th Century) - 80 guns
...
Royal Lineship/Manowar (HMS Victory - Unhistorical 18th Century) - 104 guns
Now:
...
Light Frigate/Frigate_l (HMS Mordaunt - 1681) -46 guns
Frigate (HMS Oxford - 1674) - 58 guns
...
Royal Frigate/Battleship (HMS Resolution - 1667) - 70 guns
...
Royal Lineship/Manowar (HMS Prince/Royal Prince - 1670) - 102 guns
Also I did some minor description reworks for "Blackbeard's Sword" and "Black Blunder". Now renamed "Morgan's Blade" (as in Henry Morgan) and Blunderbuss. Changed the descriptions accordingly for these names.
EDIT: I also found out that some of the Ship HP values were off kilter at the lower tiers after the replacement so I adjusted them to a better progression.
