[PnP] Ship sanity check please

Sat Feb 16 19:27:09 CET 2008

All of the following ships generated with the use of the shipwright  
(new tweaked version attached).  Would people care to  go over them  
and see if the prices/performance look reasonable?

Construction times (for a 10-man crew) is given after price.   
Obviously, a larger shipyard can devote more crews to large craft.

Structure is ship AHP; Toughness is the armor.  Seaworthiness is  
general ability to stay afloat in bad conditions.  In combat terms,  
only Normal damage is scored if players attack ships.  Any damage that  
exceeds toughness is inflicted on the structure.  Once structure is  
gone the ship begins to founder.  Players attacking the hull from the  
inside (scuttling) used 1/2 toughness.

I still have to work up the larger merchant ships.  As for Biremes and  
Triremes, they are so specialized as coast-hugging warships I'm not  
sure if I will work them up, but instead make reasonable ship sizes to  
match the Sea of tears crew ratings and make it so they can be used  
long-term.
