In some ways, I've thought about getting rid of the extra step in ship

cannon into the ship. One thing that could be done is dispense with the
sloping poop deck, then you can fit a cannon up there. On my Red Seas
Barracuda, I mounted two rotating cannon on the foc'sle. I didn't bother
with the swivel mounts, I allow the cannon to just be swapped to the
appropriate side of the ship.

   Stands to reason.  But could not the larger class still be useful,
   if only for carrying capacity, speed, and hits to destroy?  I'd
   be interested in hearing what the new difference would be, if any.

If you don't mind a bit of red in your spars, you can dramatically
increase your crew carrying space by buying a horde of Axe Carts to get
the red 1x4 plate with rod hooking down. That allows your spars to be
studs up, which means minifigs can stand on them. I managed to at one
point get a good bunch of black 1x4s with the rod hooking down so I will
be able to make a good number of ships with studs up spars.

   I'm glad you managed to get a bunch of those.  I'm now wishing
   I hadn't gotten rid of all my Weapons Wagons.  Wait, I still do
   have a couple unopened!  (What sets did those pieces come in?)

(...) I would be inclined to make the only change be that the number of cannon doesn't jump. The hit points and initial crew for a battle game probably do make sense to have the jump. Of course it's a limited issue in some ways the way I will tend (...) (23 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.gaming)
