WHY God - is there no decent Sailing Ship war game?!?!

Amen brothers - and I loved Man O'War II as well. You were supposedly able to give fleet and squadron orders by flag.

I never could get them to work though..

I would love a good sim of a friagate and etc, with a dynamic campaign.

There are plenty of sailing sims out there, but they are all for yachts/laser dinghies etc - like Virtual Skipper 4- Im sure it wouldnt be too hard to edit them for an old warship.

ETW/NTW with Darthmod (a popular mod) slowed the naval battles down, but was still constrained to the limits of the engine.

It came close, real close. But the land battles was the highlight of the games, which left the naval side shorted.

I always thought a game based strictly on age of sail warfare would catch enough sales to justify making it, especially if you make it easily moddable. (unlike ETW/NTW)
