    Default So what's new?

    I have been landlocked for over a year due to various life issues. I just got the newest wave and played a game last night, and my Sails of Glory Bug is biting BIG time. Was curious what has been discussed and what is on the horizon?

    Welcome back Charles. Being on the Beach on half pay is no fun.
    You can't do better than to start here

    I'm sure that our shipmates will soon clue you in on the meaty bits on offer.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    Thanks, I was maybe even getting less than half pay.


    Still sad that brigs don't seem to be in the offering, but the merchant men are very intriguing......

    Would LOVE a battle of Lake Erie set with the appropriate Brigs

    And I thought that the British Admiralty were stingy.
    Bligh.

    Charles, one thing to remember is Ares has a hard length floor of 28m--anything below that Length On Deck is off-the-table to their thinking even though I *did* present an option for how the physical tooling could work. (Basically, casting the base-lid and hull as a single piece and plugging the masts into that. I think it's as much the statistical limits as the physical--for example, Thorn is an 18 or 20 and all the other Swans are 14's, and look how small the difference is between them.)

    Thanks for the insight, it's good to have a behind the scenes look at things.
