And then here is my beautiful Pirate Corvette, fitted with 32 24 pound longguns, one of the fastest ships in the sea.

Awesome sails.

How many ships do you have to have 'til the group is considered a fleet? Here's my group. Ship names from left to right: Styx, Phlegethon, Asphodel, and my flagship, the Armageddon. Yes, I'm a big ship person. It does seem very unrealistic of me, but anyway I went ahead and gave them all 68 caliber fort guns. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/boom.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":boom" border="0" alt="boom.gif" /> And of course since the MoW is so damn huge I quite enjoy the experience of running over an unfortunate ship. Especially when I come upon a group of helpess tartanes. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dev.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":d:" border="0" alt="dev.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dev.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":d:" border="0" alt="dev.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dev.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":d:" border="0" alt="dev.gif" /> Although the best is probably ramming into an enemy MoW in high winds.
And I stick with Nathaniel.. well, except that I call him Vanderdecken and give him armor.. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

Yup. Just couldnt help but feel power-hungry when I first came across the MoW. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whippa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":whipa" border="0" alt="whippa.gif" />

o alright cool <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbs1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":2up" border="0" alt="thumbs1.gif" />
 
Hey. I was wondering how you were able to get 68lb fort guns fitted to your fleet? is that an option with build 12 or something that you have modded yourself?

cheers
 
Search for the line in cannons.init that says tradeoff=true (there should be one for every cannon that is not "realistically" supposed to be on a ship, ie, the fort guns) and change it to tradeoff=false.

Thanks for that, I'll give it a go. Although is is bit too easy, and are they available to other factions as well?

Hey Hawk!

Looks like we are thinking along parallel lines.

This is my Ketch. Kell always wanted to get one of these.

I only have one instance of 'tradeoff' and that is already set to 'false' are there other conditions for the 68lb'ers to be available to ships armament? or are they only an option on the largest of vessels. I like the idea of kitting out a ketch rigged boat with the largest of cannons to try and simulate a bomb vessel. I know its a very different story to the mortar but beggars cant be choosers.
