Bjornu Posted September 21, 2011 Hello me hearties, I want to build a ship that similar to the Renegade runner since this Runner was my favourite ship back then. ( my friend had one, and I was in love with that ship!) So I've got some questions: -What Ship type has the Renegade Runner ? -I've got the three Caribbean clipper boat parts+ an additional middle hull, Am I able to build a Proper "Renegade Runner" with these 4 parts? -Should I use 1 or 2 Middle sections from the Caribbean clipper hull parts? -How many guns are installed on the real ship of the type the Renegade runner has? ( The Renegade Runner has one gun) If anyone could answer one of my questions( or all) it would be awesome! Thank you in forward! Greetz Bjornu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebeus I Posted September 21, 2011 a gaff rigged sloop (might be spelled wrong ) I suppose there were sloops in various sizes, 8 cannons, 14, 16, 24 ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cb4 Posted September 21, 2011 (edited) This is a pretty confusing subject, actually. Given the renegade runner's sail plan, which has a single mast well forward, it does appear to be a sloop, as opposed to a cutter, which has the mast more centrally located. However, a sloop is also defined as any non-rated ship (less than 20 carriage guns) captained by a Master and Commander in the Royal Navy. Such a ship might be a brig, or might be a ship (fully rigged with 3 masts). A single masted sloop seems to have been a fairly small ship, and probably wouldn't have had more than 4 or 6 guns at the most. It seems like most single-masted warships/privateers/pirates were cutters instead. You should decide whether or not you want your ship to have a single mast, and if you do, whether or not it should be a cutter or a sloop. I wouldn't worry overmuch in remaining totally faithful to the renegade runner. Edited September 21, 2011 by cb4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Becker Posted September 21, 2011 Lets start! 1. Sloop 2. well, if you dont count at the ship will become a bit wider, then yes. 3. i would say 2, it would only look silly whit one. Ofcourse, this is again how you like it most. 4. For a sloop, i always have tryed to stay in 8 bigger guns, and 4 swivels, wich makes total of 12.At least, and 14 at most. 18-22 should go to cutters IMO. Again, its how you like it most. If you want it to be exactly like in 1700 century, wikipedia is a great site. For referenc, i use Bermuda sloop from POTBS. Hope i could help.

Captain Becker becker, Thank you for your advices ( and the other advices too) I was a little bit unclear, but I get where I wanted to go to now. The model I want to make is like the Renegade runner Mixed up with a Sloop. Im going to install 8 Carriage guns: 2 in the back ( in the gunports that are premade in the hull part)+ 6 in the middle+ some swivels (im not sure what ones im going to use). Further Im going to use 2 or 1 Middle hull pieces. It's going to be a Pirate-Renegaderunner-sloop I can tell for now, because the Storyline I use will definately Change soon! Thank you for your help Greetz Bjornu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
