    I guess if we get ships armed primarily with carronades, there would have to be a notation on the cards that they have no long range fire. One or two long guns for chasers probably would not be significant enough for any firepower factor. Around 1800 and later, a ship like the Swan class would probably have 18-pounder carronades instead of 6 pounder long guns giving it higher firepower factors but only at close range. However there would still be a problem with a ship like USS Essex in 1812. Although it was primarily carronade armed it did have 6 12-pounder long guns. I guess there could be a special notation for it giving it a 1 factor at long range.
