new ships

While this may be true, I'd be willing to bet that those explosives would come right out of your cannon stash, allowing you only 12 shots.

I seriously doubt that if these ships do come out with specialized broadsides, it'd be an endless amount; that would make sailing/SVS far too easy. The concept still excites me though.

Maybe you'd have to buy broadsides separately from cannon ammo? Like, buy this many fury broadsides. That many explosive broadsides, etc.

Well, it's part of the ship's design.

I do for sure - each of those five ships have a different broadside type, so it would actually make sense.

No player ship could have a large amount of health left after being hit with 7 player explosives. I'm fine with it coming from a Behemoth while using a War Sloop.
NPC explosives only do like 1,500-2,000 damage each.
I kind of disagree - the damage received by an Explosive user more so depends on your levels (Notoriety and Sailing).

I don't think so. If it comes out of your own Explosives, then that means you HAVE to know Explosive to use the Cerberus's Explosive Broadsides. If not, it defeats the purpose of having it.
Same thing with the other 4.

Like I said, if it's not an endless amount, or it's own seperate pouch - say, Broadside Ammo Pouch - then you'd HAVE to have Lv17 cannons, and would have to know Explosive in order to use the Explosive Broadsides.

Just my thoughts - don't take this personal.
Ship Of The Line replaces War Frigate.
Cerberus replaces War Galleon.
Nothing replaces War Sloop.

I think that from a logical standpoint, it would make more sense for the Ship of the Line to replace you War Galleon and Cerberus your War Frigate. The reason being that Ship of the Line is effectively a superior version of the War Galleon. Anybody care to guess when these new ships will actually come out? I also wonder what the lore behind it will be.

My War Frigate, the Shadow Cobra, is the star of my ships. I'll "upgrade" my War Frigate so it's a Ship Of The Line. I rarely use my War Galleon, so that's why I'll be getting a Cerberus. I use my War Sloop, the Dark Cobra, for Fleets and such. The Cerberus will be for other stuff, such as fooling around with bombs.

Also, it's a slim, but possible chance that it MAY come out by the end of the year.
Anything is possible. Except for what's not possible.

I was hoping they'd be released in October, seeing as it is logically the next major update. But why not use the Cerberus for for fleets and stuff?

Fleets, as you know, are strong. They easily damage my War Sloop. A War Sloop has 7,200 HP.
Last I remember, the Cerberus had 1,200. It's useable, but risky.

And, well, it might be October too, but I'm just not sure of that...
It could be any time - the sooner, the better, though.

Cerberus had 3,000. As for the sooner the better... well, I actually want about 2 weeks to build up gold and level my sailing on test first. Then release them! But it would be cool if you had to do a quest for them.

Another pouch? Sounds fair enough.

I already know you need to be level X to have Y shot. I posted under the presumption that you would have said shots already. The reason why I brought up them being connected like that is because the more skill you have on your cannon ball, the stronger your broadsides are in sailing. I would think that to keep consistency, IF Disney comes out with these ships and specialized shots, the same concept would be applied across the game.
