• Attractive but low-prim (*NO* attachments)• Sails using stable "Tako-Race-WInd" (not erratic SL-Wind)
• Customizable: COPY plus Physically MOD with tintable Sails & Hull
• Easy Sailing-HUD (or use standard LocalChat commands or gestures)
• Vikings did not have cannons so this ship does not take SPD damage
DESCRIPTION and CHARACTERISTICS:
Restless-Swords Tall-Ships Viking Ship: Viking ships had a single mast with a single large square-sail. The square-sail could be rotated almost a full 90 degrees and sail fairly close to the wind (using a Beitlass spar or a bowsprite with bowline+bridle to hold the leading edge in place.
APPROVED IMPLEMENTATION:
Since Vikings did not have cannons this ship is not "Battle-Group" evaluated. All of the Restless-Swords Tall-Ships (RSTS) use identical scripts configured with ship-specific performance parameters.
Because this ship uses the Battle-Group "Tako-Race-Wind", the sailing wind is not the wildly erratic SL-Wind but is instead the slowly varying wind used by all approved Battle-Ships (even though this is not a battle-ship).
