Galleons and Ships in general.

[Reny the Fox]

So I've messed around on both live and private servers with the current roster of four ships. I'm very disappointed in their designs overall as they feel inaccurate in both size and design. Specifically the "Galleon" looks nothing like an actual Galleon which bothers me because you have static ship-wrecks that DO look like real Galleons. The buildable Galleon looks more like miniature Fifth rate Ship-of-the-Line.

As an aside, why do none of these ships have stern cabins? Overall the designs are very strange as they're like bastardized versions of one kind of vessel but given the name of another. If you ever hope to add larger vessels(which I hope you do) you might want to consider redesigning the current ships to better fit their name-sakes. I can only imagine how absurdly huge a 106-gun First rate Ship of the Line would be. And Posiedon have mercy on the soul who tried to turn that into a Santisima Trinidad with 130 guns. It would probably take it a week to move to another server assuming it had favorable winds the whole time.

Frankly I couldn't care less. In no way is Atlas a simulation nor does it pretend to be one. You happily accept rising from the dead though.

The Atlas ships are beautiful. There was only one Santisma Trinidad and it could barely sail and would have surely sunk in a storm and stayed near ports.

Many Spanish ships were landing ships and not actually meant to sail far which isnt talked about which is why there are Spanish wrecks all around england after they landed. They call John Fawkins and Sir Francis Drake pirates and slave traders(the English Queen married the Spanish king to try buy time, then after she died her sister maried him and Sir Francis Drake and John Hawkins were fighting without official backing) to this day for sinking so many invading Spanish ships. Spain was occupying Holland and all over the world at the time.

Where precisely did I claim it was a simulation? Oh right, I didn't. Having accurate ship designs has nothing to do with it being a simulation, they simply look better than the Atlas ones.

Mhmm, sure whatever sweetie, I'm sure there are some paint chips that need licking somewhere in your house so you might want to go back to doing that.

They really aren't though, they offer very little in terms of design asthetics. Only reason I brought up the Santisma Trinidad is because it would be interesting to see someone try to build a 130-gun vessel and know it was out there somewhere. I have no idea why you bring the rest of your post up since it doesn't really coincide with anything I typed. However I would say or rather think that many of those ships belonged to the failed Spanish invasion during the reign of Elizabeth I.

Galleons were not exclusive to Spain, they were just the only ones stupid enough to keep using them long after they lost relevance.

Having a clear deck may seem like the best option but the deck is important and nothing on it means it takes fire alot more. Lose the deck and your screwed.

More excellent customization options coming next month to. Hints that SOD will be playable also, then there is the paddle wheel model that may be playable eventually and who knows what else.

I think ships in general are fine just need a few more..

As for the naming of the ships I don't mind it's not based on real world ships but just a fantasy game.. so maybe in this fantasy world a galleon is exactly what we get.

I agree that ships should have more customization. I understand a default shell, but only having a few options definitely limits customization. Another thing that annoys me is structure limits, as it makes it difficult to build proper armor on the larger ships.

innacurate design? you do know this is NOT a pirate SIM right?

pirates along with...uhhh..undead, cyclops, dragons, yetis, krakens, giant crabs etc etc etc.

Also the building customization has to be remembered. Found this one doing discoveries and treasure maps. With the new character customization options on the way Atlas really does building and customization very well mostly, minus the complaints.
