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!!!!!

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. :)

Jamesvsthekraken 10-16-2010 08:01 PM

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?

titanic95594 10-16-2010 08:08 PM

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

Chimera Doll 10-16-2010 08:10 PM

I voted for Ship of the Line because of its advancements and I don't want the other types of broadsides all of the time. It would lower rep.
Only disadvantage is the price but oh well haha.

I hope they make more room for ships now in the inventory, which I wager they are. And the Kraken is coming soon I believe too.

Tiberius Fireskull 10-16-2010 08:45 PM

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.

muffin pirate 10-16-2010 11:21 PM

Explosives coming through...;)

Nate Swordwalker 10-17-2010 12:53 AM

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

christopher cannonskull 10-23-2010 06:10 PM

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

James Bladefury 10-23-2010 06:57 PM

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

WitchdoctorDan 10-23-2010 07:42 PM

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:

Roger Sharkshot 10-23-2010 08:06 PM

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.
