In some ways, I've thought about getting rid of the extra step in ship
class for the larger 16-wide ships. It's a real bear to get that extra
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.
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.
