Your post made me think of those old wish lists for new sculpts. Sails are still a bit too large and doesn't really fit small ships, but that doesn't stop us from trying.

In what I would like to see from Ares in new sculpts is actually what's been discussed a year ago or so. True merchantmen that's more for the use as objectives than a fighting force and a Xebec or two. I would like to see a flat deck brig as small as they can make it. It could also be remade into a corvette by us who like to mix things up, which would be nice. Just taking the masts from the corvette we have and exchange them for the masts on this brig would quite easily give you two new ships.
