what ship do u use the most?

[wmah]

I like using a War Frigate and I'll recruit random levels of crew mates. I sail the boat with computer one and I'll man the upper front right cannon. So yes I do know about the sail blindness. The way around this is when you are within range in front, retract the sail and then re sail again. Once you do ram speed or full sail it will go back up and even some hard turns seem to bring it up.

What I don't like about the War Galleons is from a crew mans point of view they are somewhat blind and can't see in front real good.

I say why stop at 80000 for the next ship why not go 160000 or even 200000 for the next one. Or do a ship with cannons below deck that people can man.

I use my war sloop the most mainly because it is very fast and manuverable. I can sink most high level ships and only recieve a little damage.

I use my War Frigate

I love it!

Light Sloop for fast travel, Frigate for crews (or sometimes War Sloop for the same purpose, if the crew is lower powered), War Sloop for all else (on the one pirate that has one).

War Frigate

This is where communication comes in, which is important to any good decent crew. If your not communicating, your not working as a crew/team.

Most of the time people are sailing for 2 purposes, gold/plunder, and quest requirements. The War Galleon holds more than all of them allowing you to stay out longer, get more gold/plunder and get more of those quest requirements before having to go in.

2 Reasons to use a War Frigate (IMO). You need the extra firepower/strength to be able to survive (my war galleon seldom EVER sinks anymore unless its a glitch). And you want those front cannons for your crew. The front cannons on a War Frigate are cool, but have you noticed that if your on the front cannon, and your crewmate is at the wheel, that you do not get crew bonus? I have a War Frigate but its usually my LAST choice, because it fills up too quickly.

You realize we can only hold 65000 gold

You cannot obtain more than that on any one pirate!

Since I usually (always) have crew matching on, the war frigate is the last thing I want to drive. There is always one, who finds their way onto my crew. On the war galleon, those idiots can do no harm - on the war frigate, it is a tremendous challenge to survive all the way back to the port. The only thing worse in this regard, is a war sloop, as it leaves you exposed AND has no hull.

Sorry, but I don't understand this. What do the crew members do to endanger the ship and what difference does it make if the ship is a frigate or galleon? Not challenging just wondering.

War Galleon...I find it is the easiert for me to steer and is sturdy enuff to withstand the hits she takes. I own a war frigate but it sits in dock growing barnacles...lol Just keep it for Krewe events if needed. Besides not sure how to drive the frigate even though I have read POTCO articles on the said navigation. Galleon is the best for excursion by meself...

i use my war frigate the most (hey i saved for a while to get that thing i'm getting my 60k out of it)

[Bonnylass64]

Aye, my War galleon is my favorite ship. It has the fire power and the big cargo bay that I love!!

People seem to hate on the Frigates, but I love them! I only have a regular Frigate (I'm new to the game, don't shoot!), but I'll eventually have a War Frigate. My friend does have a War Frigate though, and we tend to have fun going out on trips with that. I really love those front cannons. I know what you mean about troublesome crews though. We've been setting public on lately for kicks, and we'll have several people come aboard. Everything is fine until we're heading to port. My friend's ship will come out of several battles with barely a scratch on it, but the guys who joined us will randomly shoot things on the way back and next thing you know, we'll have Dreadnaughts and other things beating the heck out of us. My friend's once-scratchless-War Frigate becomes a nice little comet with all the fire that's on it! All because of people who randomly shoot things and grab the attention of the other ships on the way back. =( So yes, I do agree that it can take quite a beating, but if you can maneuver it well in a battle, you'll have fun with it. My friend had a War Galleon, but we both hated it, so she sold it and got a War Frigate, and we've been loving it. Everyone has their own opinions though! That's why they make different ships, to suit different people's needs.

I prefer my War Frigates for general plundering and combat. And for training up cannoneers. When I go out after flagships I take one of the War Galleons
