Posted that in the other thread.

The Ship Of The Line looks like this:

This update makes me more gitty by the second. More ships!?

[Crestshot]

Haha, Kat, you need some money mate! Can't go sailing around in a light sloop while there be SotLs about! And Sven, you're still buying me a Rev.

I call First Mate on your ship, Crest!

If anyone can post a picture of a Fishing Boat if it looks any different from what we can now buy, please post it, because I'm interested.

Also, the Jaws theme song would be PERFECT for sailing around that new island...

The fishing boats are randomly picked(I believe!) and cost 1000 for rent.

They're without broadsides and only have fishing nets. Enemies will NOT attack you, so don't worry. You're friendly, basically.

Also, something tells me the new ships were a mistake for the update, because there is no cap for them and weren't in the release notes. I understand the island no being in the notes, but not the ships, so we might say good bye to them tomorrow morning.

[Kat Five Knives]

That's an awesome ship Sven!!!!

And yep.. I'm pretty broke.. even too broke to go fishing. I went out on this public fishing boat ( Helga's ) and this is what it looks like. But the fish are much harder to catch out here and I lost all me lures. LOL. ( Same darn thing in real life too )

Does anyone know if all the fishing boats are sloops or are the frigates and galleons as well, and are they all the same size sloop? (not that I see why there would be a frigate or galleon fishing boat...)

Kind of like the first sightings of those fishing baskets...
Or the weird sightings of the Navy Bastions that replaced the Navy Panthers in their time....

Look at the statistics of the new ships. All of them seem messed up except the ship of the line.

It's my beleif that all of these ships are probably real, only this was a mistake, just like the first time we saw fishing nets.

While I hate to say it, it's probably just a little hint that they didn't mean to give us. It will probably be gone with the next update, but I think we'll see them all again soon.

And the only actually bug I've had with fishing is, you know how the amount of feet are shown by the health bar? Sometimes that disappears.

I thought fishing is only on test? Why is there a basic pirate at the back of the boat fishing? Thought you had to had unlimited to join test..

That Picture. Is it a sign we can actually sneak behind enemy ship lines by being their ship?

[Dog Firestack]

new islands, POTC IS serious. Also with veteran ranks this will be VERY HELPFUL!
