Talk:Verdant class cutter

"The most obvious difference is the fact that the Verdant class cutter has got 8 cannons instaed of the six cannons on the normal cutter (and two ghost cannons)." - I wouldn't have said it is the most obvious difference... I hadn't even noticed that, with all the flowers and trees and such! Also, what's a ghost cannon? -- Adrielle ♥ =) 12:31, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Ever since gunning was fixed at four cannons per board, the cutter has had eight cannons to fire, but only six on deck - the other two are ghost cannons, existing only as numbers. (I always thought this was unique to the cutter, but I discovered another ship in the same position relatively recently. Don't recall which one it is, though...) If we're going to retain it, that sentence could do with something of a reword. --Belthazar451 12:44, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Cutter, MB, MG and WF all have a different number of guns on the ship compared to loadable guns. Apart from the MB's situation, these ships all have 2 more loadable guns than they have duty stations (MB has two fewer). --Thunderbird 12:56, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yah, I just counted that. Pondering whether it's worth noting that on those articles, and whether it's worth noting the reverse on this article. --Belthazar451 12:57, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
