 ===== Sailing Ship =====
-Sailing ships cover a range of deepwater vessels capable of sailing over long distances, I use three different categories.  However, they all sial at the same sort of speed and serve similar - only the size,cago capacity and weapon criteria change.  Note that the  cost for Light and Standard ships does not include crew or any weaponry.  The  cost of Man-o-War covers crew a  unit of marines and a half complement of weapons.

+  * Cargo 50 tons.  There is accommodation for 10x passengers/marines.  Extra crew, marines, passengers (etc) reduce cargo space on a 1 for 1 basis.
+  * This massive sailing ship has one masts with a large gaff sail and squares sails along with multiple headsails.  They DO NOT have raised forecastles and stern castles
+  * These small ships are used for exploration, or as messengers, scouts and fleet vessels..
+  * Weapons: Up to six light ballistae in banks of 3 positioned on the port and starboard sides of the ship. These siege engines may only fire out the sides of the ship that they are positioned on, and cannot fire toward the forward or aft sides of the ship. In addition, two more light ballistae may be carried, positioned at the stern as aft of the vessel. These siege engines can be swivelled to fire out either side of the ship, or either forward or aft, depending on their position.
+..* Crew don’t like them much, as accommodations are cramped and there is little  unused space.  While they have the same crew requirements as other sailing ships, the larger sails  can be more difficult to  work with.. They are favoured by navies for for exploration,  as messengers, scouts and fleet vessels and by smugglers who like the extra speed.

   * This massive sailing ship has two masts with either square or lateen sails. Often they have raised forecastles and stern castles. Sailing ships are primarily used for ocean travel. Examples include brigs, brigantines, brig-sloops, snows and sambuks(Sakar).
   * These small ships are used for exploration and some long distance trade, while navies use them as messengers, scouts and fleet vessels. Or perhaps just to show a ‘presence' in an area.  They are favoured by many pirates.
