New wave of ships: where are the pirats?

Cheers guys!
I guess all of you have seen the new wave of ships from Ares' games page
http://www.aresgames.eu/18762

I'm pretty happy with the choice ... but I've read somewhere here that there were going to be Pirate ships in the next wave and they're missing (sadness)
It seems I'll have to wait a couple of more years before getting them... but the whole thing let me guessing that producing Pirate ships for the game may not be easy, since pirats used to make lots of transformations in the ships they capture, so each one of them would be somewhat unique. That means there were not Queen Ane's Revenge or Royal Fortune class outhere. So I'm wondering if Ares' would ever release a set of pirate ships?
On the other hand those like me that are good re-painting and re-building minis could turn a mini into a pirate ship. Any way, I would love to have a Brigantine to work with.

thoughts?

QAR was about the size of a 32, just with added guns in her upperworks. Really, "standard designs" didn't start until about the 1750s, so most things before that were one-offs and models willbe representational at best. :(

Have a look at the Shapeways 1/1000 scale models, Ezekiel. You may like to make one or more of them into pirate ships.

It is also worth having a look at Ensign Patche's Pirate ship conversions. Drop Simon a PM and ask him to post some pictures for you. Non of my pics of his ships are close ups.
