My Favorite Ship

[frankie bonestrangler]

My favorite ship is the War Sloop. I like the War Sloop because it goes fast, and its a really tough ship. But right now I only have the Galleon. Its not a Light Galleon though.

hmm my favorite is the was frig bc of its shear power

i like war galleons lots of cargo lots of armor enough cannons and shipmates and 12 BROADSIDES i mean come on its perfect

[Isaiah Sailbane]

i like the war frigate coz the cannons are postioned perfectly and also because it's tough

i also like the war sloop coz its fast and easy to maneuver

i personally got the war frigate so far
just need to to get more money to get the war sloop

[Hile]

I wish I could just turn those rear deck cannons on the War Frigate just 90 degrees toward the rear.

[Roger]

Hmm for me its a tough one because i like the gallons for their tough armor, cargo space and it has more boardsides than a frigate but frigates look cool and has better firing postions and sloops are usefull if you know how to use them so im getting all three

[Samantha Wildhound]

war sloop for the win!

galleons i cant get used to..seems to me that they are slow and hard to steer, their broadsides are easily offset by good cannoners anyways, and the fact it holds 16 is moot, when i can basically do the same 16 run in half the time with a war sloop (i have 2 so i just use one and then the other if its damaged, my cannoners tp to get ammo right before we dock and tp back when ships launched) so for the same price, i have 2 ships, that are far faster and more manueverable, imo, since the galleon has a high standing, its easier to hit, and i cant stress enough that ive taken far too many hits i coulda avoided if i could only turn faster, move faster, etc.
but i guess it aint bad if you know how to use it, but its not my style, so im not bashing it, i just dont see myself wanting to use it.

Same with war frigate, slow, but a lil faster, decent cannon advantage with the front guns, but like all huge warships, you have to be very aware of your surroundings, and your future positions, for me its broadsides seem to have the worst range ever, but that could just be me..i dunno..seems i can hit ships in my sloop and a farther radius, but they fail to "lock on" until ints pointless, with the frigate (too close for comfort, everyones already begun to unload furies and lightning, its mast is gone, or its sunk, before i get off maybe 1-2 broads)
and this isnt a problem with the frigate per say, but when with a crew, someone ALWAYS takes the cannons on the back of my ship, and with the sloop that isnt a huge prob..i can always find a cannon to help fire with, and easily run to my wheel within seconds, but, if someone takes the cannon up there in the frigate, i gotta run further, and basically unless im sure nothings gonna spawn or nothing else is coming close enough besides the ship were shooting at..im hesitant to leave the wheel and lend a hand because, itll take me a bit longer to get to the wheel since i gotta run to the mid deck cannons.
other than that its a good heavy ship with a balance between armor and speed, but for its price, not worth it since i can do pretty much everything it can do, in a ship that costs less than its sails. crewed with a few good maxxed cannoners its a nigh unstoppable powerhouse obviously, but then again, what ship isnt with that (seen a sloop the other day, he sunk an ogre in his light sloop, high level player but, goes to show you, it aint the ship..its the cannons and how well you get that ship/rowboat in a sweet position.)

only good point i can see me using it for is shooting at retreating ships in pursuit, but why do that when i got 4 other people at least not being used because im not giving their cannons a target..and besides..the war frigate aint exactly able to catch much other than galleons, so chasing is kinda pointless, when i can use a sloop, get close enough to fire, use come about to whip it to the side, and have my crew unload with lightning, watching it slowly turn to make a beeline for you, and usually sinking or floating helplessly without sails before it even makes up have the distance back to you. thats what i wish was changed a bit..the enemy ship ai or at least ship pvp, because unless you are surrounded, or get spawn camped (OMG that ogre just appeared right beside us and broadsided, and now that man o war that sunk is floating in mid air ready to be dropped into the water)
you really cant be sunk by any single ship if you have the firepower to stop it, and ships like colossus/juggernaut, can all be sunk solo if youre high enough level, and with 3-4 other people with similar skills, its too easy, only defence they have is their front cannons and praying they get close enough..but in galleons/sloops, they have zero defence for this attack) not even saying i am any expert, im not by far, im not a good captain, just ive still manged to say ive been able to sink them all by myself doing this, and with a few friends, they get hit so many times they may as well fly a white flag.
maybe a shorter cooldown on their broadsides, or a change in their attack parameters somehow, as they seem to just wanna head right for you after being hit, and get five feet away before turning to broadside, and doing that to a war frigate/war galleon thats packed with high levels, is like eating paint chips. cant they stay farther away? circle, try to get to your weak positions? fire cannons at the range players can? i wish, would make the whole ship combat system of, hit a ship with lightning 100 feet away, watch as its being ripped apart while you calmly sit there watching bolt after bolt fly from 4 other cannons, more challenging, when instead of sitting there, you gotta move as well, since theyre gonna be moving their side cannons to bear, instead of their bow

sorry if this got to be an off topic rant..forgot to take my meds, just seemed that any ship sitting sideways is a good ship in this game.

War sloops kewl cuz its fast, but war galleon is perfect for almost everything except speed.

I hate the Galleon class, love the Sloop class, and would happily settle any day for the Frigate class. I usually sail by myself (though I boast a crew for boasting purposes), so I like to stay behind big ships and fire at their rears. If I ever have a hungry crew, we take a light Frigate instead of the Sloop. This may change once I get a Frigate. I recently spent a lot of money on the tri-barrel you see...

[Angel]

I love sailing the War frigate since its easier for me to drive it with a smaller crew. With the War galleon its fun when you get a larger crew, but still only 5 cannons will be used for a good distance. The War sloop....makes a great Taxi.

Lately Ive been takin out the galleon. Just for the loot. Crew loves it too since theres no sails in the way!!

[ninja dude]

we need more ships. end of story.

[Leon Hullcrash]

I hate to admit it but I love my war galleon.. I don't know what it is but galleons are all I have really sailed since the second day playing the game.

[Angel]

I agree. I mean it did say becomin unlimited means you can own all 9 ships!!! They shouldve specified...."you only get 3 ships at a time".

[Swordblade]

I like war galleons because they are good at everything exept speed. But you can just put a few points in to the windcatcher skill it's perfect.

My answer: War Galleon. Out of the ships I have the War Galleon is my favorite of the two I have. (War Sloop and War Galleon) Because of the strong power of the broadsides (expecially when I have maxed right and left broadside skills) the War Galleon is like a very strong almost un-defeatable tank.
