What does everyone think is the best ship though? I know the War Frigate is the most expensive (and leads me to think the disney guys think it's best) but the War Galleon has larger cargo hold and better broadsides.

I guess if you sail with a crew, you will need a War Frigate (front guns ftw!) and if you sail alone a War Galleon will suffice?

Must agree...I have owned every single model of ship in the game.
Went thru them one by one.

And sold most of them to try the next one up.

In the end, I have two ships.

War Galleon - by far the best ship. Most broadsides, quicker and more agile than the Frigate and more cargo hold. Lacks a small amount of Hull/Strength but that is easily compensated for.
and
War Sloop - hated the first two sloops, but have to admit this thing is fun. Quick and extremely nimble. Hard to hit, quick to score and sink, easy to maneouver on deck. And the "War" version has that extra Hull strength that makes it work!

War Frigate was a big, expensive, lumbering waste of time and money. (sorry)

I recommend a player choose:
a. Sloop to start
b. Galleon as soon as possible
c. Light Galleon asap
d. War Galleon asasap (and add a War Sloop for extra fun!)

I was going to get a War Frigate, but I decided to stick with my Frigate. I am saving up for the upgrades.

The nice thing about the war frigate is the hull strength. You can take a more hits before you sink, especially if you're going for ships that carry royal chests.

It is painfully slow, though, so I still have a light sloop and a war sloop, for when I'm just sailing to get somewhere.

I agree.


I prefer my War Galleon than my War Frigate.

On my War Frigate, I average around 600+ per trip.

On my War Galleon, I average around 1000+ per trip.


Which one would you choose? ( Easy question! )

You got it.

When I sail alone, I always take my war galleon. Has tons of broadsides, and I can take down level 30 ships in a couple of hits.

If I have a crew, it's gotta be the war frigate. They're all at the front cannons, and shoot the ship while I back up. I keep a safe distance and no damage to me
