Top Speed: 5m/s

Weaponry:

-8 bow and 6 stern chasers
-84 each broadside

-182 64pdr in total.

This is my take at some 18th century ish Sailing Ships.
These Ships are more or less accurate and not meant to be exact replicas of real life ships, therefore the decks
(especially the lower ones) will lack detail due to my missing knowledge of ship interiors.

I kept the rigging simple, otherwise I would still be working on them for 2 weeks.

The lowest deck is always flushed with water to enable a hidden drive.

This is the heaviest best armed and armored ship I will release.
This is a pure line battle ship due to it beeing too slow and to unmaneuverable for solo fights, therefore it should always be deployed with at least 2 escorts guarding the ships front and back or with a line of battle.

- - - - - - - - - - -

-Fully controlled by AI
-RTG powered electric drive
-Fully furinshed Captains Quarters
-Detailed upper decks.
-Mast damage detection, when all masts are cut the ship will have minimal drive.
-Automatic lights, only visible in edited dark instances tho.
-automatically rotating sails.
-and a lot of mimics :)

Flaws:
-Pretty much empty lower decks (because of my missing interior knowledge)
-somewhat unstable due to the masts mass.
-rigging damage, when masts are cut you might encounter floating ropes.
-sometimes ropes will overlap.
-visible sail blocks.
-(add further found issues)...

The sail mod should work just fine now, just unsub- and resubscribe the sails mod and reinstall the new sail mod version version in FTD.

First install odezs sail mod, but you probably have already done that,
So here are all the steps in detail:

-next you go into the main menu.
-select in the main menu the "content" tab.
-scroll down to mods and select create mod.
-then you should end up in the mod menu (white mod list to the top left).
-scroll down in the white modlist until "sail models" shows up at the bottom.
-just click on it, then below another blue transparent selection should show up below.
-scroll down in that new list and click on "materials".
-now another window shows up in the top middle, click on the "sail material" at the very top.
-the material tab should pop up at the right.
-most of that is irellevant but the 4th lowest bar should say "simple block" instead of "full block"
-just click on the black bar it and a dropdown should open.

If it already is "simple block" then you dont need to change anything.

i dont know how to do this

(To make the sail textures load:
Edit the Sails mod,
go to the materials tab and change it from "full block" to "simple block")
