Reinforced Bowsprite and Ram (1-3rd, 4-5th, 6-7th rate versions)

manufactured at workshop

Effects:

Reduces risk of breaking your bowsprites (some are prone to break easily, for example Prince de Neufchatel's) and increases damage to enemy ship you collided with, by your armored prow. Comes at a price for ship handling with such heavy bow.

Bowsprite Durability + 70 %

Bow Armor + 20 %

Damage to side of enemy ship, depending on ramming speed, increased by factor 0,3 (?)

Speed - 1,5 %

Turnrate - 0, 5 %

Blueprint needs:

1-3rd Rate

- 50x iron, 20x coal, 10x liveoak logs

- 5 tools

- 1x Art of Ship Handling Book

- 1000 Doubloons

4-5th Rate

- 20x iron, 10x coal, 5x caguairan logs

- 3 tools

- 1x Art of Ship Handling Book

- 500 Doubloons

6-7th Rate

- 10x iron, 5x coal, 3x caguairan logs

- 1x Art of Ship Handling Book

. 200 Doubloons

I love this one, but don't think requiring a multi-million dollar book is practical!  Reinforcing the bowsprit is a fairly simple operation, comparatively...   so the mod and it's components should drop at about the same frequency as the various rig refits, I'd think?  Actually,  it may ought to use the rig refit icon, so it becomes another choice in that slot?    So perhaps the 'reinforced bowsprit' would require 5 of a new resource called 'extra spars' and an elite version with better stats could require a new book that drops with the same frequency as the other rig crafting books?

Drum Major / Tambour Major

He stands for a military band you form on board of your ship. On small vessels that is only drum and pipes, on larger ships a band which not only plays marches when going into battle but also entertains the crew during voyage.

Gives big morale boost of + 10 % when boarding for men being motivated by glorious music. Reduces enemy morale by intimidation - 3 %.

Reduces a bit number of fighting men as they are busy with their music instruments instead:

Grenades - 0,01 Muskets - 0.01 Boarding Cannons - 0.01 Melee - 0.01.

Blueprint will ask for:

10 Languedoc Violins

10 Fine Leather, 5 Pino Ocote Logs, 5 Malabar Teak, 2 Ivory, 2 Bull Sharks (for their bones) for creating other instruments.

2000 Doubloons (hey musicians are artists and need pay).

How about a upgrade or perk that increases the radius for looting. Currently have to be close enough for a crewman to literally jump from deck to deck.

For instance: Longboats

Loot Radius +.50

Oak x50

Hemp x50

Cotton Sails x1

If you want a penalty included then the maximum weight is 100 that can be retrieved without closing to the normal loot radius.

Cooldown timer of 60 seconds to prevent spam usage to retrieve multiple small items.

Not a mod, but a combat option; Captains had to make a choice before going into battle with what to do with their boats.  The 3 options were:

Keep the boats aboard.  No effect on speed, but heavier casualties due to splinters.

Tow the boats astern.  Reduced splinter casualties, but a reduction in speed.

Cast the boats adrift.  Reduced splinter casualties and a slight speed increase, but unable to loot enemies unless alongside (actually touching the sinking ship).

This could be selected well before entering battle or could be something you pick as the battle instance clock ticks down.

Press Gang -

Yes it’s back with a vengeance a permanent upgrade to break the hearts of all those landlubbers lazily sailing around with determined defender.

Allows boarding with less crew for the saltiest of surprises...

A few  ways you can go with this either only to be used for pirate nation to give something different to those dastardly rats, only for pirate frigates, or you can use it across the board for everyone and every ship.

Requirments 

5 x Nassau boarders

5 x Grog rations

10 x Ladders (god knows I’m sick of destroying them).

500 Salt.

P.s I miss my press gang.

Кремневый орудийный замОк

Рецепт:

100 кремниевой руды (Flint ore) - новый товар, возможно добываемый в шахте

100 железной руды (Iron ore) - для огнив и ударных пружин

150 угля (Coal)

30 конопли (Hemp) - для фитилей

20 селитры (Saltpeter) (возможно применение при крафте имеющихся в игре Guakata и Almeria Salpeter).

Бонусы:

- точность орудий +7% (и по вертикали, и по горизонтали: канонир мог точнее выбрать момент для выстрела, дернуть шнур с полутора метров сзади от орудия, наблюдая цель, а не подлазить сбоку с фитилем, чтобы не попасть под отдачу орудия)

- шанс возникновения пожара на корабле минус 30% (канониры не применяют зажженные фитили)

Fleet Signal Flags

fabricated in workshop

Effects:

when installed on leader ship (and only there), you can issue additional orders to your fleet ships in battle. Those are:

(1) "Try to board ship X" (you click on target)

(2) ""Protect fleet ship Y" (you specify ship you want to see defended by the chosen one)

(3) "Sail in a straight line to direction Z" (you point a distant place on your battle map which determines a direction for chosen ship to follow). After ship reaches that place it will not stop but just pursue same course. It will still use cannons if opportunity arises, different to existing "retreat" order.

Blueprint needs:

New book "Fleet operations for senior officers in his Majesty's service"

10x Suriname Indigo

10x Swedish Flax

10x American Cotton

100 Doubloons

The phasmid strategy of Jack Aubrey 

made by Academy

Effects:

Your crew is made up of the best men of the nations present in the Caribbean: 

The best sails  the best gunners and  good carpenters.
thanks to them you can pass undisturbed in enemy waters becoming a phasmid 

Every enemy player that click on your ship to see who you are, see you like a friendly player unless he is in your tag circle.

In the tag circle he can see your true faction and:

the tag time of your ship is 3 second ( kill the traitors! kill the spy! Now!)

Using this upgrade will give to all your ship's stats  random penality from 5% to 10%  since men from different countries dont understand each other

If you tag a ship, all the nation of the prey will know who you are untill your reach a friendly port

5xBritish Gunnery sergant

5x Pirate rig refit

10x bullshark ( you must have bull balls to do that)

On 5 February 1831, the naval officer Jan van Speijk in the port of Antwerp sent his gunboat together with almost the entire crew. With this very rigorous act, Van Speijk managed to prevent his ship from falling into the hands of the Belgian insurgents. Up to the twentieth century, this self-sacrifice for the fatherland was sung with national reverence, celebrated and commemorated. Frits Rovers, history teacher at the Amsterdam Faculty of Education, tells the story of this freak heroic act and the equally freak hero worship that followed. He describes the Belgian Revolt of 1830 against the background of the difficult development of the United Kingdom from 1815. He pays extensive attention to the role of King William I, to the Ten-Day Campaign of 1831, to the eventual separation of Belgium in 1839 and to the imaging tradition around the national hero Van Speijk.
