Thanks for the answer, I appreciate it. I'd definitely like to join then, if you'll have me? 

The idea for a character and ship(s) I have was a bit of a 'different' one - I was thinking of a modern take on the 'torpedo boat' concept. A group, about three, most likely, of small, fast and well-armed (especially for their size) ships. Able to operate in blue sea as well as 'brown water' and [i]some[/i] riverine environments, they'd be about 100ft with a relatively shallow keel. Something a bit like the [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaldag-class_fast_patrol_boat]Shaldag Class[/url].

If that's an acceptable idea, I'll come up with sheets shortly. I'm a little busy at the moment and over the next few days, but I'll get the beginnings of something up soon, at least.
