Abandoned Swedish Indiaman - Götheborg

Awesome work @Vice Admiral Nelson!
I always thought the PotC version of Queen Anne's Revenge too unrealistic/over the top, so a more historically accurate one is very welcome in my books. :cheers

This one is more beautiful) :cool:
Personally I don't like this version of Queen Anne's Revenge, preferring what @Vice Admiral Nelson is making.

I find the Black Pearl for example much more appealing, mostly due to her stern not being so tall.

As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

That looks like Maelstrom 2.8 graphics, is it?
No, it's just a normal storm.
I think that some mod for the skybox is used.
Maybe that's why it looks so good.

I tried to use the POTC - AOP walk file conversion tool and i always get this error

I think I got this in the past but I can't remember how/if I fixed it.

I will try converting your file myself and let you know.

Thanks, means a lot. Yeah, the POTC Film QAR's stern is a skyscaper and would make the ship have a HIGH COG (Center of Gravity) and would weaken the ship's ability to keep upright during sail. But, I'll mostly change this variant to the Götheborg Indiaman, but also make a Corsair Conversion one as-well. But the Corsair Variant comes first.

A natural weathered wooden version of our sweet Indiaman (Texturing for this one not finished yet)

Update on that, here. Notice her deck is a darker brown, and the red is now brown. This one is meant to be a Corsair Convert that was repainted so it cant be identified as the ship that the corsairs stole.

Yeah, but I was not talking about the movie, and what's wrong with adding SOME realism to the game? Yes, the POTC film ships are cool and all, but they are not what I am talking about. Currently POTC is the only Storm Engine Game (I include ERAS as a Storm Engine game since its engine is a rewritten storm engine and the game basically has every COAS feature) with decent features, such as proper naval ranks, realistic ship upgrades, etc, and no other storm engine game really has that.

Since that's just the point. There is nothing bad. There are no such restrictions either. Therefore, talking about unrealism is not very smart)) It's like playing cyberpunk and getting angry that there are plasma guns instead of M16) the reason itself is amazing) you may not like the color) sailing gear) stupid holes (which I will definitely fix) ok) high ass)) (although for me this is a kind of highlight) but unreality ?!) this is clearly the "other door") your books are not canon here) dear Nameless)

Who's getting angry? Seems to me your mad & complaining, not us. If you don't like the game features fix it yourself, that's what I've been doing.
 
What am I mad at?) Where did I say that I don't like the features of the game?) You just don't accept criticism) you attacked me with your realism, although initially I was talking about the quality of performance) but since the conversation went in a different direction ... I just supported it and that's it)

Same here, between QAR and the Flying Dutchman, I chose the Flying Dutchman. :yes

I say it again ... pirates of the caribbean are not about realism. this is a fantasy universe.
Depends on how you look at it, even in fantasy you can have realistic ships.
But indeed I don't mind it being in the game, no one forces me to use it.
However New Horizons isn't only in the PotC universe.
The Hornblower storyline for instance has no magic in it, plus there are many other historical ships in the mod as a whole.

I wouldn't want the movie QAR to disappear from the game though, just because I don't use her it doesn't mean others don't.
Just in case I sounded like it.

Who said I care about canon? :p

Seriously though, I don't want the movie QAR to disappear as stated above. People should be able to choose, you choose the movie version, I choose something else.
At the end of the day we both like Sea Dogs and PotC, so no reason to argue for this.
You can definitely like the movie QAR more, after all people have different preferences.
What I think "canon" doesn't have to be canon for you. :yes
If we all liked the same things it wouldn't be fun would it?
