I know that this probably will have very little application in game. However for variations sake know that rocket flares were used to signal along with a lot of other methods. I was thinking these should be expensive but look pretty in game. Imagine a clan member firing one in a dusk or dawn battle or even during the day to signal the attack.

 

Information on early rocket vessels:

Also rocket ships for shore bombardment were actually used in a few major engagements. Copenhagen being one famous battle. They burned the enemy fleet apparently.

If we ever get port battles with land bombardment objectives perhaps these could be a very colourful option

I am having trouble finding information for the period naval action is set in about naval signal rockets.

They certainly existed and I think even had parachutes. Does anybody have any sources?
