Hello there,

It was supposed to be a quick outage but some issues blew up. Literally. See Gray's response in this thread. He even put photos of the bad things.

Incidentally, you should see another major push through User Content this Sunday. This is what I mean by "fits and spurts" -- some days will see lots of submissions being reviewed, others won't have very many.

They don't have the same gun configuration. That would make it so there are holes in the ship with no guns. The Minerva also has more decks than the Triton. And something that doesn't effect users... every single reference to the ship in the data files would be wrong. It'd be named the "Triton" everywhere in the files but it'd actually be the Minerva. It's much cleaner and easier to maintain by phasing out the old version of the ship.

The Triton does not have 44 cannons. It's a 36 gun frigate, just like the Minerva. The count you're using includes swivels and chasers. For describing the gun count of a ship, we use broadside guns.

Nothing happens to the old ships and deeds. There just won't be any way to acquire them post 1.2.

Help should have the stats when the ships are in game.

The ships are mostly identical, but not entirely. The Minerva has some features that the old Triton model does not support.

Correct. If you hear me refer to a gun count, I'm talking about broadside guns. Swivels and chasers are factored into the calculations, but they're not included in the count.

That's answered under min, max and short range damage in the first post.
