Which New Ship Will YOU Choose?
 

(Now, before someone posts about it, I know they may not come out for a while - not a problem to post a poll about them, though, is it?)

Well, as some/most/all of you know, there were 6 new ships accidentally put up for purchase at Shipwrights for about two days on Test back when Fishing came around on it (ships are listed in the poll). Only the Ship Of The Line and Kingfisher has been noted to have been purchased. None of them had a level requirement (they most likely will when officially released), but they were all expensive - prices ranging from 120,000 Gold to 200,000.
The Enemy Ships you could buy had amazingly low health. It's been noted that the 5 enemy ships could ALSO fire a broadside of the ammo of their corresponding NPC version - I.E. Phantom = Thunderbolt Broadsides. Facts to prove this are:
1: Each of the ships, naturally, have a different type of Broadside.
2: Two Undead War Frigates - if they didn't have their ammo, why two of the same ship design?

Details of the ships just for reference:

Igor say Igor can not wait for the new ships, however Igor would like to see some new types of ships added to the game. Igor would love to see Junks or Schooners sailing the seas with us. Igor wish upon a star for some more real ship designs!!!!!

:piratewheelgo2: :william: :piratewheelgo2: :william: :dancetl6: :dancetl6:

I still stick by my ranting when this was a really hot topic. I want a Revenant. And, of course, that was before I knew it had fury broadsides. Now I want it even more. Sure, the hull could perhaps use an increase, but I think the fury makes up for that. Lots of people will likely want a SotL as well, but... I don't want to be in that huge hulking thing going around the Caribbean, as powerful as it is. And besides, I'd like to have SOME money left over when I buy a ship. :)

I agree... :) :D xD
 

I agree with Crest, I'm going to either get a Phantom or a Revenant. :) :bookishfj7: :piratewheelgo2:

New ships sound awesome but I wish they would add the Kraken somewhere in the sailing for extra excitement. Ive been playing for about 4 months now, and a level 48, have my sailing, canon, sword, gun, and Doll all mastered already, Done about all the tasks I can do in other words I am pretty bored. All I look forward to are the invasions now, to help me max out my notoriety. Then what will I have to look forwards to?

For a plunder pirate like me. I see a SOTL wheel in my hands in the future.

I want to captain a Ship of the Line, but I would like to add several ships to my fleet. It is really to early for me to tell.

Explosives coming through...;)

I voted SoTL, but I would love to captain a Cerberus someday. Explosives rule!

why does the ship of the line only have 12 broadsides when the war frigate has 24 and its alot smaller then ship of the line

Fury!!! I dont want a huge bulky galleon like ship, I want power!!!

Cerberus! My hit and run tactics would be perfected with this. Hi there Mr. Juggernaut! Payback sucks doesn't it! - explosion broadside, Juggernaut sinks - :laughks2:

I cant pick between the skeleton ships yeah the SOTL is big and all but until theres customization i dont care i want either of thew skeleton ships and there cheaper with great boardsides but im still not sure they have boardsides of that type on them hopefully they will raise their hull

Whoops, that was meant to be 12/12. The Ship of the Line has the same amount of broadsides as a War Galleon - the War Frigate has 20 broadsides, 10/10 - 10 being on each side.

I voted SoTL and now I wanna change my vote :( i saw fury broadsides for revenant and that sounds way better and 8 knots is way too slow, it'd be cool to drive a SoTL though since its the biggest ship type

roger sword shot level 45 MASTERS IN SWORDS
 

I want a revant. i could probably take a ship of the line with it bc its more maneuverable:dancetl6::laugh:, plus the flury broadsides could do a lot of dame before they can get a good shot at me :D

roger sword shot level 45 MASTERS IN SWORDS
 

Wait. some of the ship classes are the same as enemy ship classes. i no i sound like a noob, but doesn't that mean we will sail around looking like EITC, navy, or jolly roger?
P.S could e plz attach some pictures? i will understand if ye don't want to.

I voted kingsfisher, but if i dont get navy sails i want a ship of the line!... even tho its so big its a easy tartget

plz disney put the ships out there

Phantom!!!!!!!!

SOTL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they might not come D:

also the easiest target you have a war galleon? you can sink easily

They will. There making progress on them.

Cerberus all the way! Explosive broadsides!

Bigger is better.

SotL.

i would like to have a sotl in some ways i have enough gold for it haha but it is the biggest thing out there which means as alot have said the biggest target so like u could be sailing along and ur getting attacked by like 20 ships at one time!! so if they dont at least space some of the enemy ships out so then that ship can at least get around some or its going to be bumping into every ship out there haha

haha yep that is why i will go for one of the skeleton ships

I have enough money for skeletons or SOTL come on disney ships plz.

Will new ships come with special broadsides?

Yeah.

The problem with to SOTL is it takes an eternity to turn, plus if you try to get all royals your crew mates might leave. i think the Cerberus could take it down. cant go wrong with explosive broad side.

I am gonna wait and ride on the ships from other ppl before I buy and see which is best. We all know the Cerberus is going to be the king of svs.

Does anyone have any idea of when these new ships might be released, and also does that mean we will be able to have more than the current 3 ship maximum?

I don't think anyone knows about either... Except the design team. But they had the ships out on test once, for about a day or so. And some people got it. But knows one knowws when they will come out.

I voted for the Revenant, but the Cerberus is a close second. My only problem with the Cerberus is that we would probably have to be closer than normal to use the explosive broadsides. Being a War Sloop, this would just defeat the purpose. With the Revenant, I doubt distance would be an issue.

Being a pirate, I want them all! So, I will start with the SOTL so as to be able to haul the most loot, savy? Then Phantom, and finally Cerberus.


Unless POTCO is kind enough to allow a poor pirate like meself to have a larger fleet!

eh..... all of 'em??

Yeah, the Cerberus probably will, but there's a chance it won't, too. How else does the EITC Conqueror fire it's Explosive Broadside over a fourth of a mile away? And, defeat the purpose of what?

I think it'd be the Phantom you're thinking of, not the Revenant. Thunderbolt has the longest range.

Heh, it's been a while since I've done some serious sailing; I haven't even done an actual fleet yet, so I suppose my knowledge is a little rusty.
I just think that a War Sloop (IF Explosives require you to be close) would lose its purpose that way considering how they're primarily meant to be evasive (not open targets).

I'm not necessarily looking for the longest range, just a sufficient one.

Oh, well in that case, I think people - myself especially - would be able to managed the required close range firing. In the first place, the War Sloop does kind of have the lowest Broadside Range of the Warships (not that I really pay attention to the broadside ranges). The Cerberus's Explosives will make it invincible to a certain extent, because it'll be able to sink ships fairly quickly before sufficient damage is received.

It all depends on how you use them... i use them for close range.

Well..... I would get the Rev. With fury Broads, You can sink easily from a distance. Next the SOTL Bc of it's ull points. ThenI would get the Cerberus for svs pwnage.

i voted ship of the line its cool with all the damage it can do!!!

Phantom! I think it would be beast to have that awesome ship!

Sotl all the way it may be a big target but it holds good cargo good cannons and it's tough while it lacks speed I'm sure the hull compensates for it

I voted SOTL just because it is huge!!! I also want the rest of them though. My top three would be
1. SOTL
2. Revenant
3. Cerebus
I know this wil take a long long long long long long long time though because I would need 530000 gold and I only have 23000. I wasted most of it on the new clothes... I think it would be cool if we could have Eitc Behemoths and Eitc Juggernauts

Jolly Roger Harkaway FtW

DANG IT! I wanna change my answer. XD (I voted for phantom cuz I knew it was an undead ship and had thunderbolt broadsides, but I want ship of the line)

I would want one SOTL, a Revenant, and a Cerberus for svs!

I'll replace the War Galleon with the Ship of the Line and if the player version of the Black Pearl is coming(maybe), i'll be replacing my War Frigate with that. Then the War Sloop will be replaced with whatever else there is that's fast.

I change my vote from the revenant ~ I pick Cerberus, because of explosive broadsides - one kills one side of the hull when hit in SvS, not to mention the damage each separate one does. It's also a war sloop, so it's hard to hit, and with a full crew of fury spammers, it's unstoppable!!!
>=D

What really doesn't make sense is why do people want the Navy ships? Not to damper anything, but aren't they the same ships with different flag designs? I mean, besides hull protection, I don't really see a difference. Or are we assuming they would have the broadside ammo they have now, versus normal cannon balls..? If so then never mind xD. Anyways, I would get Ship Of The Line (Obviously:piratewheelgo2:) And maybe the Revenant or Phantom (See, I put Italics around my ship names because its fancy fancy! :piratetongueor4:). Seems like a nice ship and all.. You know, once you get past the rotting and cobwebs, its all good from there!:sailr:

They do have special broadsides. The Kingfisher, for example, has Chainshot broadsides.

I would love to have a Cerberus, though.

Until we have an official release I don't want to get overly excited. Having said that, I would have to take them all for a spin prior to deciding which is best. I'm sure each ship will have it's pros and cons just like the ones we have now do. One ship better for looting, one better for SVS and one best for maneuverability and speed.

I hope they open our ship inventory to own at least 6 or more. Constant buying and selling of ships would really hurt a Pirates chest....literally and figuratively....lol.

I voted Ship of the Line because I could not decide on which to pick...

I want the Warlord for it's Firebrand Broadsides, Cerberus for it's Explosive Broadsides, Phantom for it's Thunderbolt Braodsides, and the Revenant for it's Fury Broadsides.

Ye can keep the Kingfisher!

Kingfisher is a Navy War Sloop with Chainshot broadsides.
Phantom is a Skeleton War Frigate with Thunderbolt broadsides.
Cerberus is an Undead War Sloop with Explosive broadsides.
Warlord is an EITC War Frigate with Firebrand broadsides.
Revenant is an Undead War Frigate with Fury broadsides.

No, they're not new ships overall, but they're new ships that may or may not eventually be available for us pirates to buy. Meaning you'll see pirates sailing Warlords.

And in my opinion, the Fleets are a good enough opponent for the Ship of the Line. Especially when lead by the HMS Invincible, EITC Conqueror or HMS Victory. It can hold back a lot of damage, but at the same time, if you're not too careful, you'll go downhill eventually. And the fact that Bountyhunters come at you in a constant stream makes Bountyhunters another good opponent for the Ship of the Line.

I am 98.76% sure, that Bounty Hunters and Navy Warships were added to set up for the ship(s). It would make people want it even more than they did before.

^^^ Yep... I just would like to have custom ships. It gets a bit tiring looking the exact same as the next guy. I want to look unique. I'm not asking huge, (Although that would be nice :pirate6:) but maybe some different stairs, cannon places or hulls. I'm sure even this would be hard to make, let alone FULL ship customization, so I guess I'll be waiting a bit... Lets hope it comes! :dancetl6: :psmiley35:

I totally want a ship of the line! >D But then, we're pirates. Why should we wait until it's for sale? We should board it and steal it! XD
