Okay, so far it seems to be a consesus of:
6 ships and 4 crew. Of course, we can keep in mind that crew can be printed 2 to a slot, so there could be more crew or ships.
Personally, I think that it is best to fill in holes where we can. I suggested this:
1-2x 5 mast (2 for Spain and America)
1-2x 4 mast (2 for all other nations)
1x 3 mast ship
1x 2 mast ship
1x 1 mast ship
As for crew, I'm not sure how this should work out.
I only suggest 2x 5 mast ships for Spain and America because they need to catch up on 5 mast ships. All the other nations have loads of them.
Thoughts from Admiralb:
true...although that's where the whole distribution comes in...maybe America, Pirates and Spain get 4-mast schooners, but England and France get something else...like two 5-masters (since their navies were bigger and more built for fighting). something like
5-masters (regular): 1 Pirate, 2 English, 1 Spanish, 2 French, 1 American
4-masters (schooners): 1 Pirate, 1 American, 1 Spanish
that way it still seems balanced with 2 ships per nation out of the two largest sizes in the set...plus since the schooners will probably be faster, their speed could make up for the one fewer mast/cannon...just an idea...I could see it being similar for the rest of the set maybe, with 2-mast schooners...America, Pirate, Spain get 2-mast schooners, England and France get an extra 3-master...
...most of the best 4-mast schooners are in Revolution anyway, Oxford, Isabel, Neptune's Hoard...BC had a few like Intrepid, President was always fun. after that though, most weren't very special...besides Bonaparte...
just spit-balling...of course I think we should try to keep it even if at all possible...just making a case. for 4-mast schooners for all! ("They're so much better lookin' than the regular 4-masters;" plus aren't we over-saturated on regular 4-masters anyway with all those Value Boxes?).
