Patch Notes: Two new ships
The Carrack, rebuilt
- The Carrack (the pirate flagship and the merchant carrack) is a new model, fully textured.
- Ten gunports, each with its own shutter, and a gun on a platform behind every port. Two bow chasers and a stern barrel.
- A companion through her middle house leads down to her gun deck.
- Her wheel and rudder turn together. Her anchor is weighed and let go, and rope ladders hang down her side.
- She carries seven lanterns, so a carrack at sea is lit at night.
- Her rig: a spritsail, fore and main courses, a main topsail and a lateen mizzen. They trim with the wind like every other ship.
The Large Boat, rebuilt
- The Large Boat (the pirate sloop and the coasting trader) is a new clinker-built model.
- All seven of her sail plans are rebuilt on the new hull.
- She steers by a tiller: a raked rudder on her sternpost, with the helmsman on a step at her stern.
- Seven swivel guns sit on her gunwale: three a side and one at her bow.
Balance
- A carrack's broadside still hits as hard as before, now from five guns a side instead of seven.
- The pirate sloop now closes to 50 m (it was 55), because the new boat is a taller target.
- Harbours, berths and quays are unchanged.
What's Changed
- SHIPS-2: Mac's New Ship 2 is the Carrack, his Tiny Ship the Large Boat - baked, rigged, painted and fitted out like the galleon by @Lattymoy in #673
