War Galleon or War Frigate?

I like the frigate more because it's ugly!. The galleons look like your steriotypical pirate ship, and seeing them all the time gets boring. Real pirates most often used sloops, due to their speed. Pirates would want to board a ship and take it, which the lumbering galleon would have trouble doing. The frigate looks more agresive to me, and though this was rare, some pirates actually used frigates. The trouble with them was the fact that they were military vessels, and that they would be harder to take. The Blackbeard and Bartholomew Roberts both had frigates at one point or another (the Queen Anne's Revenge and the Royal Fortune, respectively). Okay, I when from looks to historical accuracy at random so my post doesn't make sense any more. The point is, FRIGATES RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Frigates dont look like they do In the game they were like a mix between sloops and Gallons. Speedy wiith sails like a gal and heavily armed without a bellow deck.

Sort of, but I think it was the below deck that they had, without that tower thing, though what you have in mind is due to the floor generally being level.

Seems smart, though it is up there as it also can be a shield and all. As well, one as he/she is on their side can do privateer chat and relay back a new tactic back in crew and all. Still, I think it is relatively fine to do.

And although the Galleon may collect gold faster (though I think I remember a thread started by OFX that said ships with smaller holds get better quality crates or something and that they all essentially got the same loot [them being the War class]), one you get a War Frigate, the most expensive treasure there, you have less need of gold period. As well, the difference needed for the new ship would seem vast again, while it is smaller in the mind if you get the F first.

I'm sorry, but that is demonstrably false. Average, median and peak hauls are simply huge on a war galleon, compared to war sloops or war frigates.

Frigates are for people that have less experience sailing, who think they get more because it costs more. A war frigate is also good for stockpiling gold, when you keep hitting 65,000, from sailing your war galleon all the time.
