Are Niagara + Rattlesnake Heavy allowed in shallow PB now?

[HarryButpain]

hey, 

are Niagara + Rattlesnake Heavy allowed in shallow PB now that a permit costs 1 VM ?

[Wigermo]

If something wasnt forgotten in the changelogs heavy rattler should be able to join and not the niagara. But hey, we had a 1st rate join a 4th rate pb once so who knows...

Niagara would be crazy OP in a shallow PB, more powerful than the Heavy Rattle. The Niagara is honestly a serious contender to the light frigates.

[Sir Texas Sir]

Shallow water PB are limited to 50 (Brig level) to 75 (Mortor Brig) BR.  So the Niagara can't join shallow water port battles.  Though it makes a great shallow water hunter though.  As for the Heavy Rattler it's always been allowed in port battles.  It's 70 BR along with the Mercury and Navy Brig. 

We don't know if they changed any stats on the ships until the end of the week when some of us can buy the BP/Permits.   With some of the games mechanics changed it's going to be interesting to see how it contends against the New Navy Brig and the Mercury since crew damage isn't retarded like it was pre-patch.
