Best Vessel

[John Warpaine]

Well, it really depends on how you sail, like Admiralsavvy said.

-If you like ducking in and out of shots so they don't hit you, stick with a sloop, light if you have patience, war if you like to get big jobs done quickly.

-If you like getting sunk, take a war galleon. (Sorry, I don't know if this proves true with the new updates, but sailing before I'd sink like crazy when getting shot in the front.)

-In all seriousness, if you like to use broadsides as your primary means of sinking enemies and want the largest haul you can get, buy a war galleon, or the galleon of your best class.

-If you like to have a large crew and a balance of broadsides and speed, use the war frigate. If you can get a big crew together and sail on the frigate of your class, you can very easily sink ships faster with one of these than the frigate.

Like said, it depends. I prefer the sloop, but that doesn't mean it's the best ship for you. Experiment, explore, learn: that's the best way to go about choosing a ship.

You'd be shooting one of the cannons on the main deck, then let go to switch sides, and end up floating over the water.
This can be fun when you WANT to do it, but not when your ship is under attack. You can't get back on deck without tping or pushing through a weak spot, either. And then you'll have to do it all over again. It makes for a fun glitch every once in a while, because you fly along beside the ship

Very interesting, my guild always sails a War Galleon, ive never had anything like that happen to me unless I forced it by TRYING to take advantage of a glitch. Only problem I have seen, and its happened on other ships, is getting stuck when the rest of the crew boards a flagship. I heard someone mention a glitch that had been fixed, yet i'd done what they said a billion times, and never once encountered a glitch. Im starting to think some of that is related to some peoples accounts/pirates somehow.

I agree with that line of reasoning as well.
