Dog of War

[Moonstone]

I've seen this ship posted a few times here before, and i was just wondering where i could find this ship, what quest or something?

 

[Fred Bob]

Ye must be a completin' de City o' Abandoned Ships Quest itself, matey! But first ye gotta do de Kill de Beggars Quest!

 

[Moonstone]

any other way?

 

[Fred Bob]

None, matey, without a cheatin'!

 

[Captain Maggee]

And that would require a new game as well

 

[SuperChango]

Say what ?! i haven't seen that even in the models list ! any screenies ?

Looks almost identical to a normal corvette but with a few more guns and sails.

Isn't its name corvette quest or something like that almost at the bottom of the ship_init file just above the Arabella?

Yeah, that's its entry. Corvette_quest is the name of its type within the game code, the name of the only game of that type in the game is Dog of War (which I suppose gets assigned to it in the quest script). Likewise, the Arabella is named Cinco Llagas in the game, even though its type is referred to as ArabellaShip in the files.

Thanks for your reply Sordid.

In that case the Corvette AKA Dog Of War is indeed a very nice ship, 40 guns some 8 guns more than any other Corvette in the game. The Arabella on the other hand is just as impressive, with ships been ported over i see her base model been used a few times which proves how well liked she is.

 

[Sordid]

Yeah, the DoW has great firepower (4 extra guns on each side, mounted on swivels above the regular guns) and is insanely fast. Her point of sail isn't quite as good as Blue Bird's, but she makes up for that with raw speed. You can run circles around any other ship with her.
The Arabella looks the same as a regular frigate, IIRC, except she doesn't have that hideous mast at the end of her bowsprit like most big AOP/COAS ships have.

So you have to kill bums just to get to COAS?

 

[Sordid]

So you have to kill bums just to get to COAS?

No. I actually have no idea what happens if you do go around killing the bums. I assume you just get your million piasters and the quest ends. Did anyone do that?

 

[SuperChango]

Intresting... :mm i always liked the corvette... kept it until i captured the frigate...

 

[Handel]

It doesn really matetr if you accept to kill them or not. The end is always the same - actually the game "thinks" you killed them which is obviously a bug.

It does? I don't remember that.
