Quite so, then if it's simply an arbitrary value why not then give the real measure of the ships firepower in throw weight? (for the non-nautically inclined, it's simply the sum of weight for all the cannonballs on one broadside) That way you don't have to get headaches if your ship carries different types of long guns (which was frequently the case irl)...

OK, I'll just shut up and slink back to my bunk, Ma'am...

Hmm... Where is it coming from? Intrepid is away. ...Or is it?

Oh don't! This is why I popped it up! It'll take me months to get it all sorted in my head before I even touch anything!
But my thought was using total throw weight might be more confusing than not, as you'd be upgrading the cannon by weight. i.e show as 6 pounders when you buy 6 pounders as opposed to a throw weight of 36 pounds when you buy 6 x 6. (although throw weight would be only 18 on the broadside so even more confusing!)

Let's hope it's not during the infamous "I-do-it-every-morning-at-this-time-sir" switch.

HAHAHAHAHhh...hhhhmmmm. Sorry. My bad!
I thought we were talking about an ARMED ship.
Given the number of guns, it's not very important indeed...

Sounds to me like someone on Ophion left their copy of the latest movie, TopRun with Dom Ruse running.

*looks puzzled*
Never heard of it sadly. No the two references are much more pertinent I feel...

Still puzzling that one. Probs a mix of "active crew" (peeps you can talk to, take on missions and shag) and "inactive crew" (background nobodies)How large a crew then?
