I can think of at least one exception to this, me. I prefer the Frigate over the galleon because the frigate is faster and more maneuverable. Just as I prefer a sloop over both the frigate and the galleon for the same reasons. If I see my prey off in the distance I will catch it in a sloop, I'll probably catch it in a frigate, maybe I'll tag it with some lightening and get it to come to me in a galleon but catch it in a galleon? Only if it's coming my way anyway .

"Nay crewpirate, weve got a War Galleon now, and have some extra cargo space fer what that Death Omen may be a haulin fer Jolly Roger lets go sink her and find out.. .arrrrr"
Of course you know according to the strict rules of Murphy's law you will not see that Death Omen until your hull is full regardless of your cargo capacity.

To each his own though. Plunder ends up being the primary use of a ship (other than SvS) and your shorting yourself a few hundred gold a trip easily with a War Frigate.
Fun and adventure is the primary use of a ship, gold is just a way of keeping score. Okay, transportation goes in there somewhere too.
