Following this pattern, the gunboat would have 0 masts. The Galleon has 3 masts, the Brigantine has 2 masts and the Sloop has 1 mast. Silhouette: Every ship has a distinct silhouette. I tried to achieve three goals when designing the sails: The other renders all show lateen sails, but there are several other options. I still added it, partially as a personal challenge and partially because every other ship has it.) (I know that the brig is just as pointless as it is on a Sloop. The Cabin contains the voyage table, brig, pet cage and a decorative hammock. Alternatively, you could place the map in front of the mast and move the mast a bit further to the back.) The map is conveniently placed in front of the Steering Wheel. The Middle section contains pretty much everything else you need on a ship. The Front and Back are connected via a walkway that goes over the Middle section. The Front contains the cannon and harpoons. The Back is pretty much the same as on a Sloop and has everything needed to sail the ship. The Gunboat is divided into Front, Middle, Back and Cabin sections. I just discovered this one shortly before posting my concept. I took many inspirations from it.Įddy_Znarfy shared an alternative solo-ship-concept one year ago: New ship type: the Dhow. And although my design follows the same basic idea, it does differ in execution.Ĭh3wiie created a design for a gunboat three years ago: Single Plyer Ship Concept. I am certainly not the first one to propose this. (For the emblem on the sail, I copied the Blue Horizon Sails and replaced the galleon with a gunboat.) Take my design as a proof-of-concept, to show that such a vessel is possible, which problems arise when trying to design it and how they could be overcome. Its smaller then a sloop, but still has everything thats needed. That would just be a waste of development resources. Just to make this clear: I do not want Rare to add three different solo-boats into the game. This can be a boat based on one of my designs, but it can be something completly different as well. My wish/hope is that one solo-boat can find its way into the game. Its a bigger rowboat with a mast and nothing but the bare essentials.

It is long and narrow, with a bit more space then the gunboat. The Longboat is the most conventional design. To find out more about the gunboat, keep reading this post. Its a short and compact ship, armed with a forward-facing cannon.
