Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) Not sure if this was the MR version or for freedom but it has a red cross and looks amazing. I sure hope they get the depth sorted on them so they can be more usable because they are really nice... Now the rest of the boats are on test too but i am just posting the caravel as it is my favorite one. Edited May 22, 2014 by Kegan 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 22, 2014 ok, that looks so cool, I would actually get one just for the eye candy. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 22, 2014 I ain't attacking that....Period Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 22, 2014 This will look much better on my house then the old model \o/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 22, 2014 Unless they make some changes woodtype has no effect on them and i am okay with that they really look good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 22, 2014 Rowboat, sailboat and knarr are at -5 depth.Cog, caravel and corbita are at -20 depth. Only thing we need fixed is allowing us to surface mine to -25 just like we can in cave. Currently we can only dig to -7 and surface mine down to -14. Here are the rest of the pictures while I was on test few days ago. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) nice if they all have the same depth then caravels will finally get the respect they deserve Edited May 22, 2014 by Kegan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 22, 2014 Really very nice, all new models look outstanding, and while will be a shame if they don´t show wood type anymore I can live with that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now the rest of the boats are on test too but i am just posting the caravel as it is my favorite one. Red cross is actually the Knight's Templar cross, or (most likely) a bad copy of the Order or Christ's Cross that would feature in Portuguese Caravels sails. (Order of Christ's cross isn't filled in the center). So in other words probably doesn't have anything to do with MR (which last time i checked had nothing akin to a red cross in it), but its basically a common thing in Caravels (which are a Portuguese ship, hence the Portuguese's Order of Christ's symbol in the sails). Anyhow, finally the pretty boats (and more important, sitting in them, and not having to look at a sail when sailing, and actually see where we're going) are here!!

Posted May 22, 2014 It'll help me determine if it is a caravel or a cog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 22, 2014 These look fantastic. is that a Cog parked next to the Caravel? Can't wait to see the Knarr and Corbitas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) When collision comes in will we be able to walk on those decks while sailing please? Otherwise meh. Edited May 22, 2014 by Youngsoldier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 22, 2014 Yeah, not sure about the cannon, especially on a cog. Speaking of the cog, it no longer has a flat bottom or maybe it is just the picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 22, 2014 Digging around the posts I found this old relic from the past. http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/61048-rename-the-caravel-ship/ Now would be a good time to correct things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 22, 2014 nice if they all have the same depth then caravels will finally get the respect they deserve since the latest change to cargo holding, they already got a big boost up in being usefull again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 22, 2014 since woodtype does not seem to have any effect anymore.. will this free up some "space" in the system for a walnut, chestnut and linden wood type texture? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 22, 2014 Still want to see working wind vanes added to sailing ships, so we can finally have an idea on the point of sailing at a glance and not needing to type in a ton of things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 22, 2014 That ship is based off Christopher Columbus's caravel "Santa Maria".Looks pretty awesome though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 22, 2014 Models look great! Aside I'm sad to see focus being moved away from making wood types visible to a one-size-fits-all approach. Wagons don't show wood type or dye either. Fixing the "new" woodtypes show hasn't been a priority, neither has overhauling how dyes work (so only dyes the relevant parts of the object). It's sad to see this aspect of the game taking a back seat. While the new ship models do look great, thet also look kinda WoW'ish. I hope that at some point individual customization will be made a priority again - not just pretty models. I know there's technical limitations, but it's still a matter of how prioritizing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 22, 2014 The red cross also was a Spanish emblem at the ships with the catholic kings, also if you see the pic the bow of the Caravel , there are several shields, and two are spanish, the shield with the flag of the Aragon and the shield of the Castille.
