I'd only shortly received the Constitution pack before I had to box it back up as we'd just purchased a new home and were moving.
I've spent the last few days getting my hobby table all set up and converting her to match my 74's and 32's (following the helpful tutorials on here, like the Model J ship one) and I finally took a closer look at the Constitutions ship card and nearly fell out of my chair.
360 crew?
Her nominal crew in 1797 when she launched was 450. It was 464 when she fought Guerriere, 475 vs Java, 461 vs Cyane and Levant, her sister ship United States had 478 vs Macedonian and President was captured with 475.
Is this a major typo by Ares?
This unfairly hurts the ship in crew actions and musketry firepower.
My solution is to substitute the middle portion of her 3-piece ship mat with that of one from a 74 until I custom make a new one.
Otherwise she has nearly the same crew actions and musketry as the 280 man Unite from the 4th slot onwards.
Only on the 8th slot does she retain 1 more crew action than the Unite and only on the 6th slot does she retain 1 more firepower.
