Those are COMMON classes of sailing vessels, no game has any rights to.

Disney just picked three very different classes that could be recognized by their single biggest trait. Galleon for cargo, Frigates for guns and sloops for speed.

Honestly, customization will likely come in the form of altering CURRENT ship types first. For instance... adding armor and guns would slow down your sloop, while removing some cargo space or armor would speed up your galleon, etc. Or they may only allow for cosmetic changes (wood color, sail design and gun types)

If they were to bring in various hull types, the best answer would be to break it down into the ship's primary feature - cargo, combat or speed.

Personally - I would love to see the broader array of ships, but can understand all the added complications. They could just change it to something like (Ex: Medium Cargo Ship [same stats as a current galleon] but you can choose from Galleon, Junk or Schooner hulls).

however i think POTCO should really work on making the current ships look more like the original version of said ship

like the frigates in POTCO looks nothing like real frigates

the galleons in POTCO look like man-o-war ships of the line

as for the sloops they are fine

Nope, lol.

I've tried to post that in the Grog Blog but they keep rejecting it. Maybe they don't want any Skull and Cross Bones flags. Who knows, maybe it's something disney really thinks pushes the border on the E10+ reating.

Oh yes, the classic skull flag is what pushes Disney too far; nothing about rum or alcohol, or any of that stuff we try to keep our children from......
