[Cubtheman]

I'm really eager and interested in the ship design's of Hold Fast: Nations At War and wanted to see if you can present some pictures of some you know during this time period.

I personally want to see this bad boy in action

That would pretty interesting, we don't see so many steam ships in other games

The first steam ship that crossed an ocean was the SS Savannah in 1819, so I think it's safe to say that we won't see them. On the other hand, these'll be pretty accurate for the time period:

that is most definetely not a fluyt, a fluyt was a trade ship, de Seven Provincien was a 80 gun ship of the line, and probably the most famous dutch ship to ever have set sail(mainly due to being flag ship of admiraal de ruyter(which caused the most embarasing defeat in british history))

Leda Class General Specifications
Given the imprecise construction methods employed on Leda-class ships,not to mention the RN's rostering system, their exact dimensions and complements, while similar, fluctuated to a degree. On average, each ship was as follows:

Type - Fifth Rate Frigate
Length - lower deck 150 ft; keel 125 ft
Breadth - 40 ft
Weight - 1053 tons
Crew - 284

Vessels of type included (in no particular order) -
Leda, Trincomalee*, Unicorn*, Pomone, Diamond, Shannon, Leonidas, Surprise, Briton, Penelope, Minerva, Lacedemonian, Tenedos, Lively, Thetis, Arethusa, Proserpine, Hamadryad, Blanche, Fisguard, Venus, Aeolus, Melampus, Amazon, Latona, Nercus, Diana, Thisbe, Hebe, Cerberus, Circe, Clyde, Thames, Fox, Daedalus, Mermaid, Mercury, Thalia

Characteristics and performance
The vessels of the class were fast, most recording 13 knots (24 km/h; 15 mph) large and 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph) close-hauled. However, their French-style proportions made them unweatherly compared to frigates designed to British proportions (such as the Lively class). Many captains requested additions to the frigates' false keels to remedy this. The Leda class stood to their canvas well and liked a stiff gale, but were prone to excessive pitching in very heavy seas. All captains complained of the class's poor stowage capacity, the result of their fine French underwater lines, but stowage improved after the introduction of iron fresh-water tanks. Lastly, captains considered the class to be "wet", a result of lively rolling and pitching causing seams to loosen.
