As folks may have noticed, Maddox is playing the Inca.

Maddox was interested in a position  to interact and storytell from.
Running a major NPC was not his desire.
The Inca meet to both goals.

I offered to help with the Inca Startup, and Maddox will continue the position from there.

For the Navy, I plan to have Design threads in the New Ships for everyone.
There will be the following groups :
Pre 1897 Compounds,  <1896 :   45,833 tons
Pre 1904 Turbine, 1897-1903 :   36,575 tons
Pre 1908 Oil fired, 1904-1907 :   30,553 tons
                             1908-1912 :   27,500 tons

Maddox specified the pre 1897 shall have a number of 3000 tons sailing brigs.  I offered the Parthian sailing frigate as an example, and that suits the purpose.
~6000t Coast Defense ships, 3000t small cruisers, and destroyer/torpedo boats round out the fleet.

minimums
16knots, 12kt cruise, 3200nm+ range, no pure oil-fire, 1.2+ seakeeping.
I think OTL French Weapons from http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNFR_Main.php will be the basis of the guns.

Any questions/Comments/Concerns?

To create the Inca I used a reduced form of the Player start, and then did the modification points :

4x 50m drydocks
