Needs work and is barely SB standard as it is.
So? Is it wrong to standardise prefabricated parts?Raxar wrote: copy-pasted your standard, blocky bridge and masts onto it
Large warships such as this one didn't really use "prefabricated" parts. Not in the sence that you seem to give it(i.e, mass-produced, fold-up-and-nail-to-hull-constructs)anyways.APDAF wrote:

Because with it all your ships look the same, and no one ever really pre-fabed warships, especially in this era.APDAF wrote:So? Is it wrong to standardise prefabricated parts?Raxar wrote: copy-pasted your standard, blocky bridge and masts onto it
Six inches may not sound like a lot, but take my word for it, it is. Before the economy went kerflooie I was a steel worker, building hydrogen plants, and let me tell you, when working with steel pipes ranging from ½" up to 36", there is a major difference in even 1 or 2" difference in size. There is only 5" difference between a 3" pipe and an 8" pipe, but size and strength wise, they are miles apart. At the scale we are working at here, those masts may as well be bamboo sticks for all the support they would give. I doubt they could support those large fighting tops the way they are drawn in drydock on a windless day, let alone at sea in even a moderate swell.APDAF wrote:The masts are only six inches thinner than the one on the real Agamemnon.
There may not be room between the pinnace and the funnel for the cutters, unless your ship has a significantly wider beam than suspected. Either that or you have kayaks for cutters.APDAF wrote:And the cutters are behind the pinnace.
