Here’s the Pale Requiem , Captain Blackheart’s ship, built like a funeral procession for the sea:
The Hull
Bonewhite from keel to below a jolly roger(should be a white flag with a spine-pierced black heart). The wood , not painted but scoured. No barnacles, no rot, no moss. The sea won’t touch it. At the waterline, darkness creeps in thin hairline cracks that only appear when the Black Heart beats. At night the hull gives off a faint, cold luminescence , like moonlight hitting the waves.
The Figurehead
A heart , colours of none but black. A rythm bouncing off its existence onto the deck of the Pale Requiem.
Sails
Three masts, all white. Sails are white with ripped/damaged aesthetics , though torn it always has a wind from behind. In dead calm, they still belly out, full of encouraged winds.
The Deck
Scrubbed white holystone, but the caulking between planks is black. Looks like ledger lines. The sides have skulls that detail the feeling of being on deck with Captain Blackheart , and what will happen when disobeyed, fair reminders of/for mutineers. Blackheart’s spine-peg finds them without looking.
The Flag
Pure white field. In the center: a black human heart pierced by a white spine. In fog, the heart looks like it’s bleeding.
The Guns
8 cannons facing front. 18 cannons per side, barrels enameled white with scrimshaw crews screaming along the length. They don’t fire iron. They fire "the end". A sight of this ship is to know to raise YOUR white flag(mercy).
The Aura
Requiem’s Metronome: When Blackheart is aboard, every heart on the ship beats in time with his. One massive, slow drum. Boarders gets indulged by his power. Their own pulse feels wrong.
No Wake: The Pale Requiem cuts water but leaves no wake for three lengths behind it. Like the sea is too afraid to fill the space.
Ghost Fog: She brings her own weather. Fog rolls off the rails in hot climates and freezes to the decks of other ships. Lookouts call her “the cloud with a keel".
At Night
Lanterns are never lit. Doesn’t need them. The ship itself glows faintly with the moonlight. From a mile off, you see a white rectangle of fog with a slower, deeper darkness in the middle. That’s Captain Blackheart at the wheel.
The Sound
On windless nights you can hear humming. Dozens of heartbeats, out of sync, until Blackheart steps on deck. Then they all match his.
No creaks. No groans. Just the synchronized thud of his crew’s hearts when he gives an order.
Size
The Pale Requiem is built like a Merchant Galleon style. 3 main masts. Sails standing as tall as the Flying Dutchman's. Sizing towards 50m long. Same size as the Black Pearl(The Pale Requiem is slower overall than the Black Pearl , but always has wind from the back)
She doesn’t chase. She arrives. By the time you see the heart of black, your heart already belongs to the Pale Requiem’s metronome.
Stormworks: some functions are a bit buggy. Don't know if its just me , but it is 1 mighty fine ship. Enjoy...
FYI... you need all cheats activated (infinites) and a modded workbench. The creation is on the larger size.
INCLUDES - Medical Beds , connoneer seats. Captains chair and map table. Semi working anchors . Portside and starboard. Working planks to walk for those who succeed to his judgment.
