A crouwdfunding has been launched to help repair the Amsterdam (moored in, you guassed it, Amsdterdam), a replica of an old VOC "Spiegelschip" indiaman merchant vessel. One of the rewards is a cheeseboard cut out of the old masts. The english explanation is lower on the page. https://www.voordekunst.nl/projecten/10846-help-jij-mee-met-de-restauratie-van-de-amsterdam

Yes.

First one to come to mind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_van_Speyk

And KGV class BB's.

I support this idea. Sometimes a ship feels a bit empty in the middle, adding some superstructure options can give the design a bit of flesh on the bones.

Hi, I have a suggestion for the custom battles mode. Basically this is an optional "Treaty" setting. Here you can set maximum tonnage and gun calibre (to reflect the various historical interbellum naval treaties). It basically only needs a toggle, max tonnage slider and a max calibre slider, maybe per shipstype, maybe just for BB/BC. The reason for this is so that you can: 1. Make historical ships without getting swatted by some unbalanced AI built megaship. 2. Make it a bit more challenging to create a ship that fits tonnage and guns. This way you have to chose a bit more between speed, armour and guns. Even try to use more modern setups on an older hull (refit ships basically) Let me know what you think

So basically a DLC ship would take up 0 slots standard. Easier to implement I think.

😭

That was savage. Apply water to burn! But yeah, 24 hour timers, all that has been tried. But not everybody was there I guess. I personally think the current system is the least bad one.

So far I am really enjoying the new cruiser hulls. The flashfires are amazing to see. Might I make a little suggestion for a new cruiser hull: The Scharnhorst class armoured cruisers. The 8" casemates would really open up some new builds. The direction this project is taking is amazing, and as more things get added every time the detail and depth increases. Great replayability. The only thing that annoys me is the AI builds where you get BB's with over 20"belts going 30 knots at 1920 tech levels. Maybe setting maximums according to historical data per nation to help the ai make more "realistic" ships?

It doesn't have to be an MMO, just some limited (4 player?) multiplayer component. Not too big, just enough.

An online multiplayer campaign (like Total War) would be awesome though...

KEEP THEM! They are awesome
