3 days? wow so long I wonder whats with him. I dont think hes studing I dont know how about you but I always find time to check most important sites like this one even when I had those exams at the end of a year so I gess hes grounded lol

 

[Stormrage]

Yesh, w00t indeed!

Alright, I'm back, no I wasn't grounded lol: ), or in exams, or dead... just away from my computer for a few days with relatives. But I got to see Pirates 3 (watch it to see an example of how NOT to use an SOTL!), and bought+read the book Master and Commander, so plenty of naval activity achieved even with the lack of access to the shipyard.

To clear things up, the Trident is a fictional class I invented that's above Ship of the Line (though some of those SOTL examples there still come mighty close!), SOTL is a very much NON-fictional class. Trident is supposed to be larger, (largest SOTL was 64 meters long. Trident is 269 meters long ), though to keep detail the size might not be too different in-game.

Good to have you back..have you decided how your Ship of the Line is going to look like oh king of de sea? I'm partial to the triple decker design myself.

NOTE: Typing this via Wii, slow, but uber.
Yeah, I'm definitely going no less than 2 gun decks, only debate is whether I'll have that top, 3rd row, and if I do whether to have it open (and so be the top deck) or have a cannonless top-deck above.

(OK, definitely not using the Wii for forums...)

 

[odintheking]

Hahaha! Yeah, I've tried visiting the forums on my Wii. Not a very pleasant experience.

 

[Supa]

I did that for a while, when my power supply died. Visiting is okay.. Typing, not. ^^

 

[Stormrage]

269?

If wou made the third row of tanks cannons on the top deck, would you make tiny little shooty cannons?

 

[HunterAnubis]

269?
are you creting Noes arch or whatever that guys name was?!?!?

 

[Partizanac]

I think he was Noah...

 

[Stormrage]

No. He already created it. This one is normal.

 

[Keroro]

It was Noah. And he built an Arc/Ark. The Romans are the ones that built Archs for their generals.

Orthanc - Definitely three decks. How about some grape shot or chain shot anims?

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Yeah I like this kind of SOFL:

With the three gun decks

 

[HunterAnubis]

I found quite good pirate online game totaly free tho I got killed by 10 pirat ships they had fregats or something like that and I had bark...after this humiliating defeat I dont want to see a ship for some time

 

[Stormrage]

Thats a bummer. Cos Orthanc will be making quite alot of those

 

[poisener]

Maybe u should do tha black pearl from pirates.

 

[HunterAnubis]

he got away I run out of cannon balls

maybe you could use some models of ships from this game tho Im low level so the ship I have is the only I can afort

 

[Ogedei_the_Mad]

Maybe u should do tha black pearl from pirates.

There already is a Black Pearl unit. It's one of the pirate ships that aaglo made.
