Talk:One-Mast Ship

Article Name
I'm not entirely happy with the name of this article. "One-Mast Ship" may be descriptive, but it's not a real ship class, and it looks odd when compared to the Frigate article. I'm not even sure a seperate article is necessary, but if it is, the ships of Ultima VII and Serpent Isle resemble longships more than anything. I suppose they could be cogs, though? If they are longships, then they are definitely designed for rowing, so that'd need to be changed/removed. I'm not sure - does anyone else have an opinion? --Warder Dragon 00:16, August 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * To elaborate, I'm not sure a seperate article is necessary because I'm not sure the ships of Ultima VII are meant to be different from the ships of the earlier Ultimas. Yes, they have only have one mast, but the frigates of past Ultimas had two masts, whereas real frigates have three, which makes the in-game representation flawed from the start. --Warder Dragon 00:21, August 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, but still, they are clearly not frigates, so I can't put them under that label. However, I'm open to changes if you have a better name for them.--Tribun 00:37, August 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Wouldn't a better name just be "Ship"? That seems to be what NPCs call them, and makes sense with "a Ship" vs. "a Frigate". --Browncoat Jayson 13:19, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
