Niagara and Port Battles

[Ronald Speirs]

Howdy all

Just wanting to discuss peoples views on the Niagara and it not being able to participate in Shallow water port battles.

What is the purpose of the Niagara in game atm?

Where does it fit into the current state of ships being used?

Is it worth using?

At this current point in game the Niagara isnt able to participate in Shallow port battles, i believe its due to its power of carronades being to strong for other 6th rates, with it not being able to participate it effectively becomes a ship without real purpose, the only thing it is able to do is be used as a screening ship but at times that doesnt provide any action or enjoyment.

Do you lash out and purchase a Niagara with no real purpose of use or do you buy other shallow ships so your able to participate in shallow PB's.

Whats everyones views on the Niagara.

Do you think it should be allowed to join shallow port battles?

If it is to strong does it need to be slightly tweaked to make it fit in amoungst the other shallow ships?

Should it remain how it is at the moment?

If there are any question ive missed that you want to discuss please feel free to commet.

Cheers

I think there are always going to be ships that don't quite fall into line with the necessary roles required for play style. Niigata is definitely one. A great ship for the Bahamas, but insta-death if you come across anything above a rattlesnake. Much like the 3rd rate, currently.

Perfect for running down smaller traders less than a Le Gross, Fast, agile and big guns. Just as good as a rattlesnake
