War Sloop worth it?

I assure you, I'm comparing them, not dismissing the war sloop out of hand. Try your own comparison; you may be surprised to find that 99% of your evasive maneuvers against NPC ships, depend on the pirate, not the ship. (And that last 1% is negligible.)

...This is getting longer then I like, but I'll make one final point. I prefer the sloop because it suits ME. What Edward or others say will not change that, not because I don't have a high regard for their opinions, I do, but rather because through my own experience and experimentation I have learned that the sloop fits my style to a T. Others, through the same methodology reach other conclusions about what best suits THEM. The only wrong answer is to let others decide for you instead of finding out for yourself.

Amen! Very well said. I fully, completely agree with your final point. (That's another reason why when asked, I suggest the war galleon: fastest gold = fastest path to buying all three.)
