Are their any meshes anyone knows of for cannons or pirate ships? In mods or vanilla? Thanks all.

AFAIK it was only ever a joke. And it doesn't fit. It's hard to put a cannon on a ship. You'd see them on land first.

I don't think the Imperial navy uses cannons. But then again, the Imperial navy hasn't always been the best at everything, and its greatest advantage seems to be numbers. Other navies might use siege equipment on their ships, such as ballistae (which do exist in the TES world), but I can't find any references to it in the lore. It's not impossible, though.

Cannons, per say, do not exist- their role has been filled by mages.

http://www.imperial-library.info/dfbooks/b032_greyfalcon.shtml

"All hands to battle stations! All archers to their posts," The Captain yelled, "Full ahead!" The two ships closed, And a dark figure stepped out onto the forecastle of the pirate ship. The figure made a gesture with his hands, And a giant ball of fire streaked towards the Grey Falcon. The ball of fire struck the Grey Falcon in her sails, Quickly catching them aflame.

The figure made another gesture. Large bolts of ice streaked out from his hands, And hit the Grey Falcon just above and below the water line, Gouging large holes in her hull.
The Grey Falcon was mortally wounded. The Captain cried, "All hands abandon shi-" As he was cut off by a pirate's arrow shot into his throat.

Aha, that is interesting. Sounds like a few passages i read from eldest, the first book i know of to go into depth of fantasy lotr-style warfare over seas. So that sounds even easier to make^^. thanks
