Nope. No sailing nor cannon reputation (nor quest items) are given when sailing ship vs. ship (SvS) - none at all. Doing target practice on NPC ships while in SvS will get you booted from crew, 99% of the time.

THIS GUIDE IS SICK!

This deserves more then a sticky, it deserves to be on the POTCO website! Great job Ironhawk!

This is perhaps the very best page on all of POF...it makes the site. In-game, to some players, you can say:

www.piratesonlineforums. com/forums/showpost.php?p=61175

as long as you have the space before "com" and after "ineforums."

Well, as a sailor you get a small amount of sailing rep for the damage done by your crew, but only up to the 100 pt maximum for that skill.

Please add a "recommendations" section for the cannon level up tactic: buy a war frigate or regular frigate, launch from Padres del Fuego, but DON'T LEAVE PORT. Go take one of the four front guns and LEARN HOW TO AIM WITH THE MOUSE! People with high sailing levels and low cannon levels get 100 (plus crew bonus) rep for every single kill there. The enemy ships approach, but don't attack much, until someone takes the helm and leaves port.

More should be said somewhere, to remind people to aim cannons only with their mouse. I hate using the computer mouse, but there is no substitute for its targeting accuracy.

I really despise folks that do this.. sorry.
Seems like they are always bringing those ships your talking about upon my ship when im launching, and causing me immediate damage. They also gripe at you the time if you sink the ship they were being lazy with. Unfortunately most are not doing it for the reasons you state either, most are doing it to quickly fill thier holds and port without having to sail at all.

I play the entire game with mouse, other than using Fkeys to select weapons (half the time), number keys for skills, and T for tonic. People often ask me how my pirate says AFK yet im still battling. Its because I havent had to touch the keyboard for hours.

How do you make your pirate run, using only the mouse?

My mouse has a few extra buttons other than normal.

2 are set special. 1 is R for run, another is SHIFT to open doors, etc.
Although my mouse emulates these keys, the game doesnt recognize my use of them as being on the keyboard apparently.

[Mr.LoveLocket]

Thanks again ironhawk!
You got my other's account sailing from 1 to 8 in one day
with a light sloop lol

Have you ever wondered which ships offer the most exp?

Well that depends on your sailing level.

The best shp i think you can have is a war galleon[/COLOR]. you may not get enough exp from sinking ships with it but you can sink ships faster. I want some people to give me answers on what the best ship people should have and the best kind of tarets for that ship. For the war galleon i say any navy skeleton or eitc ship lvl 30 + is best for the war galleon

to all others.

for the war frigate any lvl 30 + ship from man o war to juggernaught to death omen this ship can sink them all

please! dont hesitate to reply!!!!ump kinani:

[Dr. Zeppers]

Well, which ship is best has been debated before in a few threads.

Since whats best is really going to vary from sailor to sailor it always ends up being a matter of whats most popular.

If anything it has been pretty much determined the most 'popular' ship is the War Frigate.

Personally I prefer the War Galleon as any 'perks' the War Frigate has over War Galleon I personally do not need for successful plundering. I find the larger hold allows me to stay out longer and get more plunder for my troubles. I generally have no problems filling the ship up and staying in the 'green' hull wise (usually 2-10 gold damage a trip). Additional hull strength, or broadside strength of War Frigate, I do not require.

As for gaining for reps, there is a Sailing reputation guide: http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/f...ead.php?t=7141

It may help in deciding what targets are best, as it also depends on your own notoriety and sailing levels im pretty sure.

In the long run the higher the numbers, the better the reps (up to 100).
If your getting 100+ reps on a ship, its a high enough level

As for plunder, I find all the higher level 25+ War Galleons, War Frigates, and War Sloops all do somewhat the same, varying in amounts, and type. Alot of which I think is random, with a touch of "treasure sense" thrown into the equation. (Until reassignment of skill points comes about, i still think Treasure sense a waste of skill points, unless you anticipate using it to reassign your sailing as soon as it becomes available. As you progress, gold gets easier and easier to obtain.
