LGV pirate Refit

[Landsman]

@admin Any chance we will see a buff on the LGV refit? Since it doesn't have nearly as much hold space as normal LGV ( someone said 1000? compared to 1900 of normal LGV ) why does it only have 3 slots like a trader? Please give it 5 slots at the bare minimum... I know it can use smuggler to hide in ports but this is what makes it a pirate ship imo and it isn't exactly broken or at the risk of breaking balance with its flimsy 10x 9p broadside and swivel guns that are more gimmicky than useful. With 25 PvP marks it costs almost as much as the end-all, broken queen of the seas Wasa. Please make it worth the marks, I wanna be a real pirate!

I support the buff of the LGV refit. Make it the ultimate pirate ship for OS pvp! It deserves it.

I also wish it was a BP not a note.  That way I can make them when ever I want.  I did notice that my Teak/Teak I built with mods was just a smidge slower than a fir/fir normal version with no mods.  Which means a loaded down cargo ship it will easily run down.  It should keep the same profile as the LGV for this exact reason.  That and I think for what we are paying it should have 5 slots or atleast some boarding perks like the old Privateer and Pirate frigate got the moral boost, though I'll just be happy with 5 slots.  Right now with three that pretty much is my Marines, Barricades and Muskets and nothing else.  Would be nice to have those two other slots for some other perks to help it in fights.

5 slots seems reasonable request.

Regarding its attitude on the wind some examples are given by privateer/corsair records, mainly the flushing of the gun deck to include more crew and higher railing along the weather deck.

After all the objective was to board and capture cargo. ( is this even a thing in NA atm ?... )

There are as many records of ships becoming "better" at close haul as many recording that the refit did mess the ship lines becoming way worse in all winds.
