clipper_transport org in 1.04

[jdrou]

It looks like the clipper_transport had it's org reduced from 20 to 8 in the patch where it was probably intended to reduce supplyconsumption from 20 to 8.

Also, is it intended that the Frigate is the only ship which does not have a manpower cost?

Oh dear!

As to frigates, they should have an MP cost. A late period HMS Frigate, say a 44 - 18 lb gun would have had a ships complement of about 800 men total.

Hmm...
That would make 0.8 MP no?

Will check and report if bugged. Sounds like it is.

 

[unmerged(49083)]

This is correct. I just checked. This means that Frigates are ghost ships

Nope just means it costs no manpower, like most of the naval units did in 1.03C.

Almost got all of them. :wacko:

So, just becaue I'm a bit slow, this is now a bug to be fixed? Might you be including this in your unofficial temp patch?

Yes and yes, in the next one I release this will be included.

Thanks for helping the 'slow' group!

Since a Manowar or Commerce Raider only costs 0.5 MP that seems unlikely; probably 0.2 or 0.3.

ManOWar [if this is to mean "ship of the line" which I assume as we have frigates separate and they were in the ManOWar class also] in this era are easily over 1000 men total.

Commerce Raiders on the other hand were smaller. Frigate sized at best. If privateers, then think of an old class frigate. 38 gun or smaller. So ships complements would have been more like 500 men total.
