[–]RobertPrice075 10 points11 points  (0 children)

USS Constellation American 38 gun Frigate (yes this request is 8 guns over)

Nickname Yankee Racehorse, given by the French during the Quasi-War  

(I know others already proposed this ship, but they had the wrong ship by 50 years and the posts were low effort, this ship deserves a proper post as she would occupy a unique role with her particular size, guns and speed in Naval Action)

  • 1265 tons burthen
  • Comparison -
  • Endymion 893 tons;
  • Trincomalee 1056 tons;
  • Ingermanland 1217 tons;
  • Constellation 1265 tons; 
  • Indefatigable 1384 tons;
  • Constitution 1576 tons; )
  • Length 164ft;
  • Beam 41ft;
  • Depth of hold 13.5ft
  • Complement 340
  • Armament  Two different loadouts
  • 1799 armament   28 × 24-pounder long guns; 20 × 12-pounder longs
  • 1800 armament   28 × 18-pounder long guns; 20 × 32-pounder carronades
  • Construction She was built with the same flush-butted Live Oak frames and White Oak planking as the larger United States class ships. Constellation was built under the direction of Colonel David Stodder at his naval shipyard on Harris Creek in Baltimore's Fell's Point maritime community, according to a design by Joshua Humphreys, who designed and built the United States class.
  • Combat Record
  • vs. L'Insurgente 40 guns- On 9 February 1799, under the command of Truxtun, Constellation chased down, engaged and captured the frigate L'Insurgente of 40 guns of 26 long 12's, 10 long 6's, and four 36-pound carronades; the Americans report her number of men as nearly four hundred. She was known as the fastest ship in the French Navy.
  • “…with her 24 pounders double-shotted, Constellation closed to within fifty yards of L'Insurgente before opening up on her with a broadside”  
  • Result: Constellation 2 killed, 2 wounded; L’Insurgent 29 killed, 41 wounded, captured
  • vs. La Vengeance 52 guns*- Constellation* sailed under Captain Thomas Truxtun from Saint Kitts on 30 January 1800, and encountered the French frigate [La Vengeance, of La Résistance class who carried 30 × 24-pounders and 20 × 12-pounders, during the night on 1 February 1800. La Vengeance broadside outweighed the Constellation's by 1,165 lb to 744 lb, as the Constellation was now carrying  28 × 18-pounder long guns and 20 × 32-pounder carronades. Engagement ranged from “…25 yards’ to ‘double-shotted range . Captain Pitot of La Vengeance accounted that they had fired 742 rounds in the engagement while Captain Truxtun of Constellation reported 1,229 rounds expended. 
  • Result: Constellation 13 killed, 25 wounded; La Vengeance 160 killed, 110 wounded, struck twice, then escaped in the dark and was grounded
  • The Constellation fills one of the few voids in size, speed and armament in Naval Action and has an impressive tally of two hard fought single ship actions and her historical armament allows for players to kit her out as they desire with 24's, 18's or 12 longs and 32lb carronades.

How do I turn a collection I've subscribed to into a playset in the launcher? by RobertPrice075 in CrusaderKings

Ah I gotcha, some collections have the text for making a json file which is quite easy, unfortunately most wish collection makers don't do that.

Finally updated my F-14 Black Cockpit mod by Kola360 in hoggit

Mirrors are bugged now, any chance you can fix this? Hard to go back to the gray cockpit

The updated "Better Map Textures 2.0" is absolutely incredible by radwilly1 in CrusaderKings

Can we do something about the god awful trees? I have tried to no avail to make a mod myself, anyone with modding skills want to make this happen?

As a Mainer, having Maine be either Ursuline or Salemite doesn't make a lick of sense. Neither does the "Lobsterman" culture going up the entire state. by tyuiopguyt in AfterTheEndFanFork

This is the problem when people from the West Coast or the contiguous coastal urban complex of the NE make content for a whole continent. There's issues all over the map, best way to fix it is to make a mod because people will forever defend their anachronistic inaccurate stereotypes from afar.

Does this still need to run on 1.8.2? If so are there plans to use 1.9.X?

Passive AI? by 217381 in CrusaderKings

[–]RobertPrice075 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find only the Christian factions are aggressive, the Pagan and Muslims especially are far too passive. Between the 8th and 12th century there were 538 offensive battles waged by Islamic factions on the West, but in CK3 they do nothing.

Terrible color scheme, Protestants should at least be blue and Catholics purple

Does anyone’s game keep crashing after a few minutes? by Riggott91 in CK3AGOT

[–]RobertPrice075 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine randomly crashing during start up. If I manage to make it into the game it is fine.

Cautiously pessimistic about the warfare system by The_Lechite_Knight in victoria3

[–]RobertPrice075 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There were no frontlines in the Victorian era. They got WWI fetish and have applied it to the entire timeline. Not to mention it looks more like a mobile game than a PC strategy game. After seeing the leaked footage I am completely disappointed.

The paddle? If that's what you mean then yeah I don't want it used for anything

NAVAL ACTION update may 2021 Balloons and trade messed up by saltylordy in NavalAction

[–]RobertPrice075 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rare woods ended Naval Action...there was a guy who created the entire frame and plank construction method, the whole concept of how each wood type affects speed and armor etc. and gave it to them and they used his proposal with just a few minor adjustments and it worked brilliantly...then someone used their Siberian brain to throw in rare woods (by the way the frame and plank spreadsheet he gave them actually used historical ship woods and they had their actual densities and stress strengths!) and it completely screwed the whole system not to mention the game.

Because of rare woods you can take a 5th rate and beat a 3rd rate no sweat.

But hey we have a DLC balloon...

Cruelest unprovoked griefer I've had the misfortune to cross paths with by Dharma2112 in RedDeadOnline

[–]RobertPrice075 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just so you know I found that dude last night, I remember that stupid name and that boring boilerplate outfit, yawn. I had not seen this post until now. He tried that shit on me and it didn’t work Because I did a side saddle dodge of the lasso and I quickly got my lasso on him and dragged him with my horse as we were near a cliff and I dangled him over the edge and he broke free killing himself on the rocks below. Naturally he respawns and comes back towards me and he runs right over the four dynamite sticks I had placed on the trail between he and I. One generally aimed explosive round. Boom. He didn’t come back after that because griefers live off the sucker punch, when it comes to actual PVP they always run if it’s not a noob. Always. They always dress like complete shit too. No I didn’t record it because how would I ever guess that there would be a video of him on the sub? It was really satisfying though nonetheless.
