Cannon Rate System for warships

From PirateCraft

This is a quick breakdown of how the rate system works, as heavily based off the IRL rate system the British Standardized. Made by DeDerpyDerp_, used by both Port Potato and VISN. and I assume many other crews.


How it works

More cannons = more powerful = lower number From strongest to weakest:

First Rate

100+ cannons

Second Rate

80-99 Cannons

Third Rate

64-79 Cannons

Fourth Rate

40-63

Fifth Rate

29-39

Sixth Rate

20-28 Cannons

Seventh Rate

5-19 cannons

Etc

Anything below a 6th rate IRL was unclassified, but I added a 7th rate for the smaller ships on PMC. Anything with less then 5 cannons wouldn't be rated, so if need be just say a 5 cannon ship, or "gunboat" if need be.
