Because IRL all sailors were pirates. True story. Even the RN admirals started and ended sentences with 'YARRR HARR HARRR YE FECKER'.

All pirates were first sailors.

Look at the early days of the Americas, England just gave all its ships letters of marque to raid Spanish shipping, same thing with the American Revolution, a lot of pirates are  just sailors whom wanted the easy job of taking other's valuables and you must also remember that the British did use American's during the NW's because they were low on manpower. One of the main reason's America declared war on them.

The point is that they're meant to be royal navy sailors, not pirates.

Technically only the lower ranking and higher officers were employed by the Royal Navy. The regular sailors were really only citizens employed by the ship they were serving on. Who knows? Maybe they were pirates, among the gutter-rats of British cities.

If they hamper your enjoyment of the game just head into the mod folder NW and then sounds and then overwright all the pirate sound files with the british warcries.

The pirate voices are indeed a novelty item and FSE may or may not decide to replace them later.

There are 2 things i'd like to see different.

1. Sailors with shirts. I just simply can't believe the whole ship was filled with shirtless sailors.
2. Being able to choose a weapon with sailor (If I want to be a sailor with a pistol, then let me have it, don't give me a spear most of the time and ruin my round!!!)

If that would be changed i'd be such a happy boy :)

Sailors with shirts would've been uncommon. The heat on those boats would've been unimaginable. However, that doesn't mean that it never got cold! ;)

Oke, I am to dumb to know that uncommon means. But are you trying to tell me that they actually didn't wear shirts? As in, all of them?

Also, zeemannen zouden warm hebben op boten, en daarom droegen ze geen shirts.
Title: Re: British Naval units
Post by: Dekkers on August 03, 2013, 06:22:44 pm
Yeah, I understood that part :P. But what I wonder is wether they were all shirtless or not. And I think there will always be some with shirts and that is why I think there should an uniform with shirts aswell, like with partizani you get different uniforms somethimes. Btw, might be Opolcynie or something. Idk

Soldiers got issued shirts. And I'm not 100%, but I believe that it was even forbidden to be bare-chested on deck on certain ships, at least when they were't in tropical heat or something.

Also, the shirts these men worn were very wide and of linen, which means you could wear it in warm weather - It kept you from being sun-burned.

Post by: Dekkers on August 03, 2013, 08:13:21 pm
So my first idea about giving them shirts wasn't a bad idea?

And how about the 2nd one. That we can choose wether we want a pike, or a pistol or an axe etc?

I'm sorry this doesn't agree with your romantic ideas of the age of Sail.

Granted, Britian is not my strongest point, but the same goes for France. French sailors were issued a full uniform; In fact, the 'marine' of the new patch is simply a French sailor. Though, the shako is officially incorrect for this period (12-15) - They should have a hat not unlike the British marines, with an eagle plate. The French sailor class with her random weaponry and half-clothing fits the period before 1805.

That being said, I love the addition of the patch, so personally I don't really mind. I might get a reskin to give the French sailors their proper hat, though.
Title: Re: British Naval units
Post by: Dekkers on August 03, 2013, 10:09:30 pm
Ahh yes, a reskin to give them a shirt if I want to. Damn, if I knew that I wouldn't have to start this discussion! Silly me :(.

But. Still, the 2nd thing though. Do you guys think you should be able to pick a weapon instead of having a random weapon you might not like?
Title: Re: British Naval units
Post by: Duuring on August 04, 2013, 01:03:33 am
I don't really mind. The pistol is not effective in anything but short-range, so it hardly matters if you got a pistol, a spear or a cutlass.

Well back in those days the main ports where all in the south and many of the professional sailors came from the south west where the majority of the fishing fleets where, hence the janner accents, when I'm on my ship and I make pipes through the main broadcast system I go all janner over it "You ere there!"
