It definately had a new icon (Reminded me of the Samurai icon) and looked like the Privateer from the new world scenario. There was also something new under railroad and something new being constructed

Unfortunately I didn't have money on me, so couldn't buy it. I tried taking a photo but the resolution was too bad. I'll try and go back in the weekend. But they did also say they'll have a larger article later on in 'fall'

The game's coming out in mid-June, so that won't be very helpful.

I'm not sure if it was a different copy for America and here, we're in Autumn now so could mean later on in Autumn here

Alright, I concede your naval knowledge. I was just under the impression that the difference between Frigate, Ship of the Line, and Sloop was the number of guns it could carry, not the number of sales.

It is based on rate and the number of guns. If your speaking of three masted vessels.

The privateer they show is a three masted vessel, just like a frigate. If the devs made the privateer have a different look, it would be based likely, on a sixth rate vessel. Most likely a bit smaller, and the frigate would be one step up a fifth rate ship.

Here is some info on it.

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/rate.htm Oh, and other navies at that time used similar ratings for their ships.
