Oh lol what Phantom and Warlord etc? If they actually looked like ghost ships you know how cool that would be to drive? Pshhh

I'd love to sail captured enemy ships

In recorded history, nothing above a 4th or 5th rate frigate was ever captured by a pirate. Ships of the line were generally 3rd rate and up. But it would be a good counter-ship to the treasure fleets in game.

yeah pirates never used anything bigger than a frigate (not a war ship) because speed was their main weapon. The goal was just to board the ships and not actually use the guns.

Gimme a corvette I can modify for speed and I'll be happy.

I think the Schooner is the main one that would have a place in POTCO/TLOPO's ship balance, and even then that's only if they happen to buff Sloop speed since right now (and in POTCO) War Brigs are pretty much the exact same max speed as sloops, and I'd think the Sloop should be one knot faster than the Brig with the Schooner matching the brig's speed tying for second place. I think a War Schooner could look something like:

Armor: 8600-9000

Speed: 11 knots

Cannons: 10 (five on each side)

Broadsides 16-18 (8-9 on each side)

Cargo: 14

Crew: 10

Downsides to Schooner: higher profile and slower turning than War Sloop (and with sloop speed buff, slower as well) but handles slightly better and lower profile than the War Brig.

The Schooner would essentially be a ship that trades some of the sloop's nimbleness and tiny hull in favor of slightly more guns and armor while still being fairly fast.
