I pick the size of my ship to match the number ive got wanting to use cannons?
I have noticed that the computer screen settings and size can make a big diff in how easy or hard it is to hit a lite sloop? When im playing alone(and for me that is playing two pirates at the same time with maxed sailing and cannons) that i take a lite sloop most of the time. Ive got 6 war frigates and 2 war sloops, so ive got diff choices.(that counts test and live ships on two accts). I think the pvp ships has turned boring very quickly, at least on test you could build your "Infamy" a.k.a bragging rights. To wrap this up if you see a lite sloop "Storm Hunter" go ahead and jump on it and maybe it will help you decide if its easy or hard to sink a lite sloop........ ;-) .......later......
