Number of guns on variants

[soupdragon]

I think the work on tigre is certaily worthwhile obviosly a new model is preferable but the changes should differenciate it enough from the other ships that use the same model

Out of curiosity how much time does modifying take in comparison with a brand new ship model

In the case of the variants I think the easiest option for most ships is to keep the number of cannons in line with the model and adjust the stats accordingly to up the damage output. Although this does depend on how the cannon stats work I have a feeling there are limitations as this seems like a solution that should been tried before

But in the case of some ships I feel a modification of the exsisting model would be nice eg: the privateer mignone which has significantly more guns than the original.

The idea of a ship like this sounded great a merchant ship refitted to be bristling with guns.but as far as I can tell (I've only faught with a few) it uses the same model as the original.

Well on my current ship I think I posted the first screen shots back in April, so 6 months, and I am no where near done. It's a long slow part time process. I think I can do the tigre in 6 weeks or less depending on how much I change it.
