Dockwrecker The Privateer is scurvy dog
I know it's a game myself but Nuju may have a point.I mean in the first POTC film we had a ship-of-the-line called the HMS Dauntless,and it really looked like its kind of ship,very much like the HMS Victory here:Part of the first movie was the 'real world' meeting the unknown realities of Aztec curses ,the myth Davy Jones was mentoned ect....I at least find the known world meeting the unknown ,dangerous, and tales of legend quite interesting.If the game is to reflect that then the 'known world' should be somewhat accurate.I may be getting a little defensive here but I'm just a jolly good fan of the historic ship-of-the-line,A real iconic vessel of the late sailing ages.
This new Ship of the Line's design first appeared in the redone Boss Battle as the new Goliath.It seemed a rather strange ship,I saw it as an odd SotL variant,I found the 'her eighteen guns' line quite humorous for the ship's size ,but alas, does it have eighteen cannons?Aye, but is has to have thay many unless the cut video comes to contridiction.
The new Fleet leading ships haven't added many.But one thing I will say is that I like this new ship,its design is quite interesting,may Nuju correct me but it seems a bit like an East Indiaman.I hope if Disney wants more large ships in the future that they make a design similer to the HMS Victory above,just a little older in style as the Victory participated in a battle against Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte of France's fleet ,which was in the early 1800's.
