Here are Forest Green, Black and Gold : )
As for sails - there are 2 speed sails with cosmetic applied on them and at the back - usual handling sail.
For my design - because I love all those sailing romance I do all things as they should be. No shotguns, kiting tactics etc. Just regular boardside sail-by battle. So I came to this design.
- 10 cannons each side.
- 4 cannons extra can be placed either in front, in back or like 2-2 front-back. But with parallel trajectory of volley (which devs should change btw) it's better to make all extras together.
- I keep middle of my vessel as empty as possible, because most of SotD's cannonballs lands there.
- Chess-like ceiling painting - really important to do fast maintenance during the fight. All top deck ceilings painted like that.
- I have like 10 points in sturdiness, and all in captaining skill tree, because in serious battle I always get few of my planks gone. With all skills I sometimes like: "Yeah I have 2 leaks. I better finish my battle then go for maintenance" : ))
- I Also keep 7 gunports, 5 planks, x-tra steering wheel and large speedsail in my supply chest. Because I twice was on my way back to base. Satisfied high but with just two sails : ))
