The Goliath's model came first, and I think it's more like a test model for the Ship of the Line. Placed it into the game, and Disney figured they should make some changes to the model, then send out another set of Ships of the Line for us to fight. Really though, I prefer the Fleet, Pirate and Bountyhunter Warship versions.

As for your question about Explosives, a Cerberus would have 7 broadside guns. I've dealt 29k damage to a Navy Panther with Explosive, Open Fire and other boosts. In theory, if the broadside were to have the same damage as a regular Explosive (which, knowing what power it could have, it might not), the whole broadside could do over 100k damage. This is if you have Open Fire up, Rank 5 Explosive, Barrage and Left/Right Broadside, and have an Explosive cannon ram like the Primed Ram (or something like that).

Yeah.

Here is the latest I received from support. It's better than nothing I suppose. Notice they refer to "they"....so hopefully all ships that have been discussed will be coming soon.

Hello fellow Pirate,

Thank you for writing in with your concerns. The ship you are referring to was on the Test Server for a short time; however we removed this because it still needed some work. I would keep your eyes out on the Current News blog and on the Test Server for any new information to when they will return.

Also, we are always happy to hear from our Pirates and love to hear what they would like to see added to the game. If you have any ideas or suggestions on what you think would make Pirates Online more fun for everyone please feel free to let us know.

Have a wonderful day!

Hmm.

Today marks the day when the new ships was accidentally released.

Also to stay on topic, I like to see it defeat bounty hunters and sotl, and fleet ships alone.

Something is coming out tomorrow i think it is the sotl because of the dates

That would be awesome......(crosses fingers)......but I'd rather wait if it's coming with bugs. I think it should go back on Test first. :smiley-rpg028:

Everything comes along with bugs, no matter what. At this point, however, the only bug I see is the wall that can be walked through on the Ship of the Line. I'm not sure if at this point it's solid, but the last time I boarded, which was during the Bountyhunter update on Test, it was still not yet solid.

As for the NPC Buyables - Kingfisher, etc. - all I know is that the Kingfisher seems perfectly fine. I just wonder if they're going to raise its HP up just a tad...

Wait, how do you know something is coming tomorrow?

There is an update scheduled for 11 P.M. Pacific until 2 A.M. Pacific, hopefully it's the new ships (and maybe something else)!

Wouldn't it be released in test(again) before releasing to live.

Yes, it would, as these new ships have never had official testing. But that doesn't mean that this maintenance can't introduce the new ships to Test.

Maintance starts now!!!

My friend says before the maintaince:

Ship of da line, Ship of do line, Ship of da line, Ship of the line...
and so on. I think i want it now. XD

Wait what about the kraken?

Kraken, Kraken.

Maybe just bug fixes though.

Ya Plz let the maintance be for the sotl

nope. The maintance isn't.

I also found the hull "blue prints" to El patrons ship class called gal_carrack looks like another new ship type along with the SOTL

Hmmmm....very interesting ....where did you find those mate?
