[QUOTE="77IM, post: 7613966, member: 12377"] That is amazing! I love it!!! Regarding the cog: later, larger cogs (like the [I]Sea Ghost[/I], presumably) did have a small forecastle. I'm open to making the cog a slightly smaller ship with no forecastle: the [I]Sea Ghost[/I] already has a deck plan so all it really needs is statistics. Also the caravel should really have two masts (one in the middle, slightly forward, and the other towards the back) because that looks like the most typical sail plan. The cog and the caravel should probably be 60-foot ships, which would make them like oceangoing keelboats. Speaking of keelboats, the more I looked at this stuff, the less sense the keelboat made. A 60-foot ship that only has a cargo capacity of half a ton is ridiculous. A pickup truck can carry half a ton! Would you be up to the challenge of creating a deck plan for a 30-foot keelboat, say? As a variant deck plan. The galleon need not mimic the warship so closely, and you can adjust more things on the schooner if you want, too. I was trying to re-use the deck plans in [I]Ghosts of Saltmarsh[/I] but if you are able to cook up custom deck plans for these ships we can adjust the statistics to match. For example, later galleons could become quite huge, so we could make it longer than 100 feet; maybe 120 feet. [/QUOTE]
