Ship Suggestion: Corvette

[Edward_Teach]

Cannons: 28
Speed: Fast
Way of retrieval: Given from Governor when you reach Admiral
Price you can sell it for: 100,000(and whatever you put into the ship upgrades)

Upgrade price:

from lvl1 to lvl2-50,000, to lvl3 100,000, etc

The reason for my suggestion of this ship is as an Admiral you have completed you "military" career and are about to start your "noble" titles, and what do you have to show for your military career? Nothing, but the simple insignia on your name, well i think an admiral deserves a ship that isn't strong but still has an edge on smaller and some bigger vessels. A fast (as fast as a frigate?) somewhat greater gunned ship is my answer.

Please feel free to suggest, i'd like feedback

A fast Brig of War?
I think that we should include special abilities for each ship so that we can hope they will worth the effort.

Surely this ship could be a good addition (ie used as tail in a 4-SoL fleet) but I am not sure it would worth the trouble.
If it had some special traits.. it would be a totally different case!

I like the idea. And I agree with Black sparrow it should be as fast as a Brig of War.

I meant that this ship looks very similar to brig of war (stats & usage) only that it is faster. It seems like a good basic design but I think we should also include special traits.

The difference between the Corvette and the Brig of War is , cannons (Corvette 28, Brig of War 30) and speed that is the reason this ship as a small, slight, edge on other ships.

The only people i see driving corvette's are people without a spouse over 40.

I think a new ship would be exciting but there's no reason to add another ship until we have ship abilities. The current pool of ships is already too large- when was the last time you built a "Galleon" or "Brig"? Maybe another Title-Reward-Ship could be added since it's not comparable due to not being buildable. In that case it should be a better version of an already existing ship- so maybe: BoW only cheaper to upgrade OR Flag Galleon only more cargo OR Frigate with more cannons... I would prefer to name it "Admiral's Frigate" or "Admiral's Flag Galleon". That way it doesn't even try to be a new class of ship- it's just a great military reward (and a collector's item The game wouldn't hurt from more collector's items... In fact it would be great if there were more ways to collect impressive tidbits.... and show them off.... I should make a new idea thread... )

When the current set of ships get abilities that differentiated them- then I think it's likely that another cool ship/ability could be added.

i think the "corvette" idea would be best handled as making it a truly personal ship.

for example my ship would say Majesty. that would be the ship name and the ship type. and the only ship i would ever be able to achieve of said class. and with virtually everything upgradable at a price which benefits admin....

and not just cuz i love admin.

but instead because that would make the ship Majesty a personal mark of pride, and the taking of said ship a Very real accomplishment.

the wide variety of play styles in this game is why the Doom Iris would be pathetic little shipping vessel, while the Majesty would prolly be a mostly-useless and pretentious super-battle vessel that would be lost at once., while the RUM Brigade with their super trade fleets would be able to make a single ship carrying 700 goods at the ideal speed, and the Juicypotato could be like a unique super-troll boat that only gains 4 danger per attack instead of 6, and the Doom Iris would be a pathetic little nothing ship that no body likes anyways.

aknowledgge my brilliance!

I would make my 'vette a huge super speedy ship with, like, a billion cannons
