Reason for this poll:

It has been stated that only Americans want the Constitution to be stronger.  The question is, how much of the world wide Naval Action community support a historical Constitution in game?

 

Notable Brits who have supported in the past:  Alex Conner, Charles Caldwell, SueMyChin

Danes:  SirCunningham

 

 

Poll Choices:

These have nothing to do with hard proposals on speed or hp, just the desired model.

 

Mostly "Historical" Constitution. 

By historical, I mean, as close as we can make it historical in game terms instead of a Tier based ship.

Historical Armament (main deck: 24lbers. topdeck: 12 lbers, 42lb carronades). 

Historical HP (more than current).  All the ship experts agree that it needs major hp buffing

Game Speed Relative to other in game ships based on historical speeds (faster than currently). 

Very Expensive.  The Constitution was a very expensive ship in real life and currently isn't in game.  Live Oak needs major cost tweaking in gold and labor hours and in rarity.

 

Current Constitution

Tier based ship that doesn't reflect its historical role.

Overgunned (maindeck: 24lbers.  topdeck: 18lbers and 32lb carronades). 

Historical speed, but all other ships in game have faster than historical speed, so in the ship line up, the Constitution's relative speed among the ships is not historical, and ships that were much slower will always catch it (such as the Santisima, Pavel, and Bellona).  The Constitution will be a Superfrigate that is slower than Sols (except the Victory).

Very weak HP.  All the ship experts agree that in relative to the other ships, the Constitution has much weaker hp than what it would have had if HP is modeled after real life.
