HMS Unicorn

[Captain Lust]

Why did you choose the limbless arab with moustache over unicorn? I'd rather have HMS Trincomalee's sistership HMS Unicorn... any chance we can get a skin for trinc to change the bow figure?

so instead of a ship that actually saw combat and is still fully rigged to see in england you want the reserve unit that never saw any service but was doomed to be a reserve ship for emergencies?

Hmmm^^

I for myself would like a vessel that has seen some dmge than a ship that "might have done stuff"

(there were quite a few of these backup vessels build after the coalition wars - many were scrapped for materials - HMS Unicorn actually had her original roof until the 20th century)

the devs met the HMS Trincomalee fund btw - they talked to the staff

You could also say the same thing about a quite a lot of ships in the game though, why not a different Leda class, why Bucentaure, why Agamemnon? So many of these could potentially be replaced so you can have a fancier looking figurehead but I'd personally prefer a good and interesting history than picking ships for having a fancy model on the bow

My understanding is also that one of the main requirements for a ship being developed is that it has a very strong record of its specifications and history, with the Trincomalee foundation and museum providing great details into this, it also helps that the ship can be visited and inspected in great detail much how it was during it's service, unlike unicorn which looks quite different from the original Leda plans.

Not combat, but she cruised in the Pacific during the Crimean War.

I would have preferred they just added the Leda
