Will we see all full first-rate fleets?

[Fisherking]

While a few First Rates may be desirable defending home waters they are slow and do lack range.

Second Rates are a bit better and can load quicker and take a good amount of damage, however they are as slow or nearly so as the 1st Rates.

But I am thinking that 3rd Rates and 5th Rates are the ships to do the largest part of the work.

4th Rates are the same speed as 3rd Rates and don’t handle that well. 6th Rates are too light for most work but will make a fair escort ship.

The 5th Rates are too light for the line but they are quicker and good for crossing Ts ahead of your line, picking off stragglers, and harassing the enemy’s rear.

As to the lighter ships and vessels we will just have to see what they give us.

There was a post at Shogan that showed all the demo units but it has been edited out for some reason.
