New types

  • http://forums.puzzlepirates.com/community/mvnforum/viewthread?thread=14542
  • The Man Behind the Curtain gives a good summary of the attributes to consider when proposing a new ship design (as opposed to a limited edition appearance variant of a base class)
  • Pictures of the ship are optional, more useful are the following details:
    • Purpose
    • Commodities and labor required for construction (also doubloons for doubloon oceans)
    • Hold volume and weight capacity
    • Max crew and swabbies
    • Number and type of stations
    • Number of moves in sea battle
    • Size of cannons and single/double broadside capability
    • Max damage capacity (Swordfight/Rumble, sinking)
    • Minimum crew for influence in blockades and diameter
    • Max swabbies and cost per league for swabbie transportation
  • Different classes of existing ships would only differ in appearance (so pictures wouldn't be optional), commodities and labor required for construction and doubloons for doubloon oceans
