Missnaming ships?

[toanuju22]

Why is POTCO Miss leading players again by telling them a Frigate like ship, Aka the Interprid, is a Ship Of The Line, (Frigates got powerful, some managed to have up to 2 decks, however a Frigate is not able to withstand line fire for very long, thus it was used for other various Naval roles.) just like how POCTO miss lead players into thinking that the in game frigate is really a frigate, when clearly it is some sort of early fortified galleon. POTCO was built from the ground up so why do they have to misslabel ships?

For those of you that don't know what a regular Galleon looks like here is a model:

Sorry about the small model, Galleons grew much larger, but couldn't find a picture.

Now to Compare against the POTCO Frigate:


I would say they look almost identical, their sail Plan is exactly the same, both have wide hulls, and Raised Stern and Forecastle, and not to mention the long prow.

The Interprid "Ship Of The Line":


The Interprid can't be Fourth Rate Line ship, It's too low for one. Fourth Rates had 2-3 Gun Decks, Depending on the requirement of a nation at the time, to make it clear what a fourth rate is, for refrence:


However Some East Indiamen were almost fourth rates, and when acquired by navies of various countries, East Indiamen were given extra guns that turn them in to full fourth rates, However East Indiamen, an unusual looking fourth rate when refit, was still too big to be a comparison to the Interprid.

My conclusion, game developers have been doing this too frequently---->
So if POTCO wanted make give something extra to the update would be to properly name the new and Already existing ships.
