Earlier today (23.04.2014/04.23.2014) I spoke with GodsDead and Shipoo we spoke yet against about ships. I left the discussion due I was cooking. It ended with that I told them I would do some research and post my proposal here.

I have catogrized the speed of each ship by slow-medium-fast. Also worth mention the stats aren’t 100% accuriate. Some I have written N/A in the block section, that’s because I am unsure on block size.
Below every stats cheet I have an example picture of the ship/boat, I do not claim any of these pictures as my own.

Type: N/A
Canons: N/A
Speed: N/A
Yet to be decided rank

or

Canons: 1-2 (both sides)
Speed: Medium

This is absolutely amazing, This is the kind of research I needed to help me sort out ships!
Even better, all of those ship names will fit onto a sign, apart form East Indiaman, but that can be shortened to Indiaman.
This is better than having ship1 ship2 ship3! I will have to create a /ships custom text to list them all for quick reference once built.
I can’t limit the amount of cannons per ship, but I can Limit the amount of working cannons each player can use! At present its 2 for gunner and 10 for a donator, I think this needs a work-over too.
What was the name of that small cannon you were talking about?
One more thing we can change is how sustainable to sinking they are, so if a ship needs 70% wood to float, if it gets a hole blown in the side I can set a percentage of that wood thats needed to keep the ship afloat if it falls under the needed percent to stay afloat it sinks, At the moment its set quite high, a ship needs to loose 25% of a needed material to sink!
I hate to say this but I need say it since I want the ship signs to be perfect (Or as close as can be).
Speed shouldn’t be measured by rank. I can see you didn’t actually completely do that but here’s what I think
Schooners and Dhows should be faster vessels.
Also here’s another vessel for a rank of whatever choice
Junk
Origin: Oriental area
Speed: Fast
Cannons: N/A
<b>Blocks: </b>300-500 ish
Speed wasn’t going to be rank orientated, Size will be, I would prefer to have each rank be able to create two ships, A small fast ship and a slower big ship.
We could create one small ship that’s usable for all (apart from deckhand) ranks, which would be best suited as a cheap-fast but easily sinkable ship?
New ship added and old ships re-furbished, check out http://piratemc.com/information/ships-cannons/
More to come later, we have ships for Cadet, Sailor and Donator at present, So the carpenters Brig is next!
