_Masterviolin Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 With the reset close approaching, I'm saying a tearful goodbye to my trusty friend, the BellePoule "HMS Phoenix". Hand in hand with this ship, I've been to hell and back. No matter the situation- whether or not I'm grinding a few traders or desperately running from a Vic-Bellona fleet, she's carried me safely to the end. Now, I guess it's time to say goodbye. One last glorious battle, I hope- going down with broadsides firing as a giant Spanish AI feet bears down- or perhaps peacefully be sent to the breaker's yards when the reset comes out. Thank you, HMS Phoenix- and I'll see you on the other side. Anyone else saying goodbye to some beloved ships of their own? I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling heartbreak. </3 3

Grizwald Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Nice Signature Young, you get a blind chimp to make that for you? 2
Young Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Yes Well only in one eye i keep him on Goat island but the only issue is the milk is always ALWAYS sour ! but i really do like it he did a good job 2
BlueEagleGER Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 HMS Ambuscade, my trusty 5mod Surprise. Comissioned in Jamaica and used for regular patrols in the eastern carribean.
Blackjack Symons Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 USS Aggressor, 84 guns. I've only had her since the redeemables came out, but she's proved the best ship I've sailed so far (and I intend to hunt down another Pavel post-wipe.) Equipped solely with long guns, she's great for pounding 1st rates at the back of the line and crippling from a distance. Her speed (docked speed of 16.85kt/s) means she outpaces first rates and some frigates. RIP Aggressor :'( 1
MacVaultDweller Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I will not miss any of my ships because they will be rebuilt and refit when crafting is in place! 1
_Masterviolin Posted August 25, 2015 Author Posted August 25, 2015 True indeed. However, in order to honor the memory of the Phoenix, I think I'll use either a Renommee or Tricomallee as my frigate; BellePoule is a damn good ship though!
Magnum Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I will miss my 5 slot Mastercraft Surprise "Betty Lou" survivor of every battle I fought in her (about 50). Salude' A special toast goes out to "Amiable Cindy" a fine speed trimmed Trader Brig that made for me over 500,000 gold before being caught by Pirates off of Pointe Quest.
GrapeShot Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 For me it is my trusty 5 upgrade yacht the U.S.S. Argo in which I explored from the coast of Florida, west along the Gulf coast, around the Yucatan, south along the coast of Central America, east along the coast of South America until I found the mythical island at the end of the world which I dubbed Grapeshotopia, and finally north through the islands to Cuba. A long journey, with much running from enemies, in my trusty yacht. It will be missed.
Captain Comery Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 For me it's a tearful goodbye to my pavel sunset. She has helped me capture many prizes and got me through a battle with 2 santis and a vic more or less unscathed. She got her name from her first battle. She set a trinc on fire and as we sailed away we headed towards the sunset as she blew up. My first ship fire. I will miss you sunset!
Prater Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Goodbye my lovely Pavel. Goodbye my Mastercraft 5 Slot Carronade Santisima with Blue Permanent Hammocks and another blue permanent slot. I will miss filling your 5 upgrade slots with Yellow Marines, Yellow Magazine Access, Yellow Tool Box, Yellow Copper Plating, Yellow Powder Monkeys or the other Yellow upgrades I had. Goodbye my travel Lynx. 2 blue 1 green permanent speed mods, yellow copper plating, yellow speed trim. You were my fasted vessel. I will miss going 28knots on the Open World and out running Constitutions at their best point of sail in battle (who ever heard of a fore-and-aft ship beating a square rigger downwind?) Goodbye my Superfrigate. You could turn on a dime. 2
