Hello,
I was thinking since we have a multitude of ingots that can be made with the forge what if we had a "Top Tier" ship like an Ironclad?
I know the Galleon is a top tier ship and is very large but to make more use of these ingots and move into more of an "industrial era" type warship that can utilize steam or coal engines and still utilize the NPC crew for sails, loading coal/water for engines, as well as cannons would be awesome.
We would still be able to put the submarine and all other side attachments on due to it's large size like a galleon.
Also, having a "metal" tier of building parts would allow for better base defense, bigger raids, more difficult ship battles, and better use of ingots.
I know that's a pretty far fetched idea but I thought I would just throw it out there.
Thanks for your time,

Here's an example of an old Ironclad...
