Tezclatipoca Posted May 23, 2016 According the King'sport advertiser the Raenette II participated in a big action against the Mardieran privateer L'Olius and succeeded in the capture of the Spotted Sparrow, a war brigantine. Here is what happened (according Felipe de la Manzana) : Captain's log entry, 29th of April 616 : "We started our route with a good escort lead by our friends of Corrington. The Company is in good term with Corries and we managed to open a MAESTRO branch in the Red country, so the escort is more than welcome, even if my new Ténotclaxcan crew member doesn't seem enchanted to encounter Corleanders." The situation became a bit strange when the escort had been separated from the merchants. Captain's log entry, 30th of April 616 : "I lost see on the escort, and we are some trading ships lost at the mercy of the simplest pirate ship that could attack us. I didn't understand what happened to the escort..." "Ah! I said we were lost, and it will probably... A Mardier fleet is in sight... They showed their colours ! it's a black and red flag ! Privateers ! A full fleet of Mardieran privateers... Probably L'Olius, the dreadful privateer that already attacked Eslandola ! Now I can guess what happened to our escort..." And the battle began. With an excellent anticipation, Felipe used the speed of the fast Raenette to pass behind the Spotted Sparrow, a full armed Brigantine, while the boardside fired but the Privateer vessel missed Felipe's. Then, using the Ténotclaxcans method of boarding, Felipe's crew engaged the Mardierans directly at the navigation deck and tryed to kill the captain and the navigator to stop the ship. And Felipe's crewmen finally killed the privateer captain and begin to become masters of the War Brigantine. The rest of the Mardieran crew surrendered or flew at sea. This is how Felipe de la Manzana won a War vessel. This ship, as a revenge on L'Olius Mardier Privateer fleet, had been re-named the Pinapple Revenge by Felipe and is joining MAESTRO's fleet as a class 3A war brigantine. More pictures with the new flags on her (Please Maxim, use this picture for the ship index) : Thank you for reading. The ship is totally built on a custom hull based on CMF's baseplates I placed to give the curve aspect of the hull. I took some time to have a better rigging than my last ships and even made some ratlines ! The sails are just paper sails as I will not be able to have better sails before the end of the month, but one should know I have a project to create quality custom cloth sails. So I will probably post some new pictures when I'll have them. As always, C&Cs are welcome ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TitusV Posted May 24, 2016 Very Nice ship! Great base! MAESTRO seems to revenge a lot the last time... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bregir Posted May 24, 2016 Nice looking brig, Faladrin! It is really nice to see some of these captures MOC'ed, as it adds diversity to the fleets of BoBS. I am still wondering why Maestro is building all those warships, though. Perhaps they have ulterior motives? A new world order, perhaps? ;) I like the brick built hull, and the overall shape is pretty good. Your rigging is also improving, and I have only one specific comment. The sails and the flags are not in agreement about the direction of the wind :P Nice story too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I minded more to show clearly the change of flags than thinking at the wind orientation... :) Ssssht!!! hahaha, just kidding :p We captured this ship by accident (Faladrin did). But with the Prio war laying ahead, the ship is very welcome! And like you're saying Maxim, I captured the ship (not by accident) but by chance ! And this ship is very welcome seeing the Prio Battle is coming... I think MAESTRO is free to have all the ships we want. We are not safe at sea with all those NPCpirates, and it's just an example... :) A new order Bregir ? Of course ! MAESTRO guild must be master of the sky ! Oops ! Sorry, MAESTRO Company should rule the seas ;p ... Any reference to a MAESTRO in any anime is not intended... :) ;p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
